Right folks i have 2 of these fantastic basses and to be fair i really only need 1, as much as i would prefer to keep both needs must so 1 will have to go, can't decide which so am going to put both up for sale and will sell the one that goes first if that makes sense.

No 1 2008 model in Sunburst with maple board and mint green PG not 100% sure which pickups are in this one i have a feeling they are the Lakland( hanson ) ones, currently strung with Joe Osborne flats, will also come with white PG and a red tort and a Lakland gig bag. This is in mint condition i have not gigged it only used it at a couple of rehearsals. Price for this is [b]£530 posted[/b].

The second is Black/Black/maple slightly older model approx 2005 i think bought here from Old Horse Murphy, this has Lindy Fralin Pickups and is again strung with Joe Osborne Flats, this has been my main gigging bass for the last 3 years, but is still in excellent condition, this will come with mint green, red tort and white PGs and a Lakland gig bag, Price for this is [b]£475 posted. [/b]

I will add some more photos of the black bass later this is the only one i have at the moment.

Even though i only have a gigbag the guitar will be well packaged as i have a guitar box so will be inside that plus bubblewrap etc.

I hope all this makes sense please feel free to ask any questions which i will endeavour to answer as quickly as possible.

Not looking for any trades at the moment folks if it changes i will let you know.

Cheers Steve

Oh Steve, how could you! :)

Seriously, the black BG was one of the best basses I have owned and one I really regret moving on. The neck is superb and it's a very comfortable weight.

Tempted.........

Yes i am was persuaded out of retirement at end of last season to play in 1sts as we had an injury crisis was coaching at the time, and been persuaded to carry on this year, finding it tough physically as we have had 3 double headers in the last 4 weeks and standard is very high, bowling is ok just the fielding takes its toll we did 63 overs bank holiday monday hard work hahaha !!!!!

Noooooo

Don't do it Steve

If you want two differnet basses stick a jazz pickup in one. These basses are just so so playable (even with the e dropped with a hipshot) i have a cupboard full of basses costing twice as much and still pull this one out most. If you go down the Jazz pickup route give me a shout i may be able to help out.

If that's what you want to do, I've been thinking about trading my Duck Dunn for a Bob Glaub as I prefer a wider neck and my DD has a matched Lindy Fralin jazz pickup at the bridge. Drop me a line if you're interested though I'm not 100% on this

I'd really like to try a US made with this mod :)

I have a US Glaub at the moment & wondered what it might sound like with a J at the bridge. . .

It sounds fantastic, it looks amazing; I've just come to the conclusion I prefer wider necks is all.
