It has a few little dings and dongs to prove it, but nothing that influences or affects playabillity, just the normal wear and tear of an instrument that has been used for 20 years.

alyctes Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 hi blackadder You need to post a price if you want to sell here - forum rules, I'm afraid. Pictures will help your sale, and more details as well - how old, what condition etc.. If you can't get your pics to upload here, perhaps you could host them somewhere else and provide a link? Good luck with your sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackadder Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Okay, corrected it... Hope this added info is a good guidance. I posted my initial post accidently somewhat early. Edited November 21, 2012 by blackadder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Just to say that Blackadder is a trustworthy person to deal with..(but Baldrick might disagree) Good luck with the sale.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackadder Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Thank you for the positieve feedback wbb! I might not be a multiposter here, I'm much more present at www.basgitaarforum.nl (the Dutch/Flemish equivalent of basschat). This is where wombatboter knows me from.

cocco Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Is this basically a twin pickup modern looking 3001? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackadder Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 I don't really know actually. I've never played a 3001, so I don't know how they compare, but you could be on to something. In terms of headstockshape, dot inlays and the somewhat chubbier body-contours they do got some visual resemblances. The shape of the body looks to be almost or entirely identical to the 3001. (at least for as far as I can tell from looking 3001-pictures ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 [quote name='cocco' timestamp='1354662020' post='1888976'] Is this basically a twin pickup modern looking 3001? [/quote] I've owned both a 2030 and a 3000 which are both bolt on neck basses, though the 3000 has a short scale, the feel is similar to the 'Hamburg'. The 3001 had a longer scale and I believe a through neck, the body shape is very similar to the 2030 as you have pointed out. The 3000 had a great feel and sound and I really regret selling it The 2030 had a superb neck and a very versatile range of useable sounds however it was extraordinarily heavy, in fact the heaviest bass I have ever owned! My back doesn't regret me selling that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No the 2030 has a longer scale like the 3001 - I think the only short scale commercially available Rick was the 3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackadder Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) I'll give it one last try, but I think I'll withdraw the sale tomorrow. The bass I wanted to buy is probably sold, so "old blue" may stay. For this one last time I'll consider trades. (Fender Precision, Mustang or maybe even Musicmaster, some sort of hollowbody... surprise me!) Edited December 23, 2012 by blackadder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackadder Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Nope, I'm sorry. It seems a very decent offer though, but those "experiments" Fender pulled of with its instruments don't get me that excited to be honest. but nevertheless, keep those tradeoffers coming, they certainly will be considered!
