[font=Helvetica][size=3]I bought this about a month ago as a practice bass for my 3-week stay in the UK so that I could avoid putting my precious Zon TJ-6 in the hands of the American Airlines luggage manglers. As luck would have it, I was able to carry this bass on the plane, but I don't really want to carry it back. So, I thought I'd sell it over here when I leave. [/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=3]It's really pretty nice for the money. It's nearly new and is in perfect shape. I will say that the electronics are not fantastic. It works as it did when I got it new, but in active mode it's very noisy so I've been playing it in passive mode. The bass itself actually plays quite well, the action is set quite low, plays in tune, etc. I think it's a great inexpensive bass if you're thinking about exploring 6-string, just starting out, etc. You could throw some better electronics in it and have a perfectly gigable instrument for very little money. I'm also including a nice RoadRunner gig bag, which doesn't come with this bass if your order one new from Rondo.[/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=3]I leave on Thursday, but I'm leaving the bass with my in-laws in Bristol all packed up and ready to be shipped. If by some chance someone in the Bristol area wants to pick this up this week, we may be able to meet on Wednesday…let me know.[/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=3]Since I'm not from the UK I haven't been on bass chat for long, but I've got some feedback on Talkbass.com (id: robwren) I don't buy/sell much, but my feedback is solid. I can ship it via Interparcel, and I prefer PayPal for the transaction. That's normal in the states, and I think it works well here, but if I'm mistaken let me know ;^)[/size][/font]

Bump. Anyone looking for a nice cheap or entry-level 6-string will want to check this out! I might just hold on to it if I don't get any interest before go back to the US.

Sorry guys, this one is on its way back to the states.
