warwickhunt Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Well despite finding a box suitable to ship this overseas, unbolting the neck and getting a full shipping quote, the bass is still here and available for sale... I've bolted the neck back on so you can come try it if you like!
Tracebass Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Hi just joined as im in the market for a second hand bass, and saw yours, I m very interested....do you have a case and what would the deal be for both ...cheers Andy
warwickhunt Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi Andy. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I have a case or a gigbag that I could include (£30-£50 depending) but tbh if you weren't collecting in person then I'd recommend that I unbolt the neck and ship it as 'self-assembly'! [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I have to say that I've couriered basses in the past with no case or gigbag and with the neck attached, it isn't as secure as with the neck off but I've not had any problems in the past.[/font][/color]

Not quite sure why this isn't being bought... MIJ/CIJ basses are generally priced quite keenly @ £450ish and this one is a lot rarer than your average P bass! I suppose the colour scheme is a bit 'marmite'.
lowregisterhead Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I really like that. I showed it to my missus, and she f**king hated it, so that's just reinforced my liking. Extremely distinctive, hence very difficult to pass off as an old acquisition though. "Is that ANOTHER new bass?? No darling, I've had it for ages..." *Sigh* Edited March 27, 2013 by lowregisterhead

warwickhunt Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 £450 or if you are local to me then I would be interested in a part-ex for quality PA equipment.
Chris Horton Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 These basses are light , easy to play with a very useable varied tone and at this price it is a bargain. The finish may not be everyone's taste but No longer in production means that the basses are becoming harder to find and who knows , may even go up in value in years to come....... I'm amazed that this bass is still here
