casapete Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Tis a thing of beauty - I have a similar model in blue, cracking bass. If I had the dosh would be all over this one too.......................bump.
Billy Apple Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Do you have any specs for this? What is the scale length and nut width? How does it balance with the strap button being so far back and in the middle of the neck?

[/quote]Scale is 30",nut width 40mm,light as a feather and perfect balance.

Rick's Fine '52 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Cool bass, rare colourway. Great price too, have a retro bump from me.

Soulman Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 I'm going to withdraw this on Friday,so get it while you can,
2Rep Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Lovely bit of kit, I would deffo if I was'nt so poor atm. Have a bump from me.
lozbass Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I had the cheaper, Korean non-'pro' version of this and it was a wonderful thing - a bit of a love or hate design but I'm certainly in the former camp - a design classic for me. As a short-scale fan (and short-scale player almost exclusively), I'd snap this up if I needed (!) another bass

grumble Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I've bought 3 basses this year. I dont need and can't justify another (I'm strictly a bedroom player at the moment) and if 'er indoors caught me sneaking another one in I would end up in the divorce courts. But...... I WANT THIS BASS Take it off the market and re-list it in 6 months or so, I should have cleared one or two by then.
Billy Apple Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I don't understand why you're only giving this a week? I mean, why bother?

cocco Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Are you into any trades? I quite fancy a long horn for the legendary recordings value alone.

[/quote] Fair enough, Squire. Now I'm wondering if this is a duff technique to get someone reaching for their wallet thinking time is running out. Like Ebay, or some such nonsense. I guess we'll never know. Anyway, good luck with the sale. Edited September 27, 2012 by billyapple

[/quote]Not at all,someone local wants it,no trickery here,nothing wrong with Ebay either,you can find good bargains if you know what your looking for,and also some rough ones!

[/quote] No worries. In the spirit of Bonhomie, I have to say that I'm very interested in this piece, although with my La Cab build in progress, I just can't justify another Bass. Saying that, with your Bass in mind I was checking out Danelectro's in Wunjo on Denmark St. today. No Longhorns, but I had a shot on a Hodad Bass and was mightily impressed with the tone and playability.
