Jazzdude Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]I have taken the decision to part with my beautiful Shergold Marathon Bass MK1a stereo output in black - Circe early 80's and a rare(ish) guitar these days, so I am informed. It has never been gigged and is the standard 4-string bass with a scale length measuring at 34 inches with maple fretboard. It is a stereo bass with dual mono output, allowing you to bi-amp the bass if needed, as it actually splits the signal thus enabling the sending of the two top strings and the bottom 2 strings to separate amps.[/color] [color=#000000]Apart from a few nicks due to age and cracked lacquer which was a trait with Shergold guitars, it is in very good playing condition and well looked after. I recently put new Rotosound strings on it and it is a pleasure to play, and has a fantastic sound. So, why not own a piece of heritage : [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shergold"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shergold[/url] and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shergold_Marathon."]http://en.wikipedia....rgold_Marathon.[/url][/color] [color=#000000]I am looking at about £400, as it is in good condition.

karlfer Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Was it the one in the following FEEBay link Jazzdude? If it was, interested parties can look at your ad and see you are reflecting Basschat's lack of FEEBay/PAINPal fees . Donations are welcome though . If you want the link removing, just let put a comment below this post and I will do so. It does mean however, some of the chaps can perve over the photos tonight . Good luck, I'm VERY tempted!

Jazzdude Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi Karl, How are you doing? Yes it was, I took your advice and came on here. I hated having to bump the price up on FEEBay.

It should say the listing has ended (earlier today, unsold). Scroll down that page and there are some photos, or am I being ny usual dim self? Hello again Jason, must have been typing at the same time as you. Welcome to Basschat to you and your Shergold, it's a brilliant forum. Good luck fella, cheers, Karl.
