iamtheelvy Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Hi all, Struggling with this one... My parents are moving out of the family home back up in Surrey, long term home of the bass I learnt to play on - an old black Encore Precision copy. I just don't have space in my flat for a bass that, in all honesty, I won't use. Want this to go to a good home. It's used (read faded, bashed and scraped up), but study, solid and sounds good, excellent for a beginner! I don't really want to lose this one, but its taking up space, and I'm not going to get a lot of money for it if I do try to sell! Starting off yourself, or got a younger sibling wanting to start? Help me know that this is passing on to someone that will love it as much as I have! This was played so much that the P-pickup has a curve worn into the top that still fits my thumb perfectly! No case or bag anymore, so local (Portsmouth) collection only please! Edited August 21, 2013 by iamtheelvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Dave, I remember chatting to someone a few weeks ago that wanted to start playing, but can't for the life of me remember who. As soon as it comes back to me, I'll put you in touch. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheelvy Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Cheers bud! I love this bass, but it should be being used rather than collecting dust! If taken up, I'll sort out some new strings and a set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Why not mod it and have it as a back up for the Ricky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheelvy Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ha, ironically nearly two grands worth of Ricky is well on it's way towards a second, maybe third modification, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it to this bass! Besides, a Jazz and MM already hold the postions of backup/alternative bass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumps Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi mate I think I know someone who would give this a great & deserving home if it does not work out with James may I be considered for this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheelvy Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hey, Would prefer for it to stay local, but any and all welcome providing you can pick it up! I'd just be happy for it to be used again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheelvy Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Bass still up for grabs! Not after any money for this - just needs collection and a good home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 hey matey, I don't need it, but if you want the space, I'll happily take it to free up space until someone wants it. In the mean time I'll give it a set up and a clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheelvy Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's cool, not taking up too much space, just not being used! Already got some strings put aside for it and planning on a decent set up sometime next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
