I've been carrying this with me to gigs as a spare and I've never actually used it live. I bought it used a couple of years ago and tinkered with it a bit.

I've changed the wiring harness as the original was a bit flimsy, fitting solid shaft pots then realised that I didn't have knobs to match but I think it looks cool that way. I also removed the original pickup and fitted a DiMarzio Will Power as per the Billy Sheehan Yamaha. I have also polished the frets which was no easy task with the painted fretboard but a long time with the masking tape and steel wool and its looking good.

There are a couple of dinks but nothing that I can see that goes through to the wood.

Given the mods, including the cost of the pickup I'm looking at around £170 collected. Its been a while since I bought or sold anything and I don't have the cardboard and packing materials that I used to and I don't have a spare bag or case for it either. I could meet up within reason for a small petrol donation.

Unfortunately its nigh on impossible to capture the colour correctly but here goes:

This is what it should look like:

I would say that the neck is pretty precision feeling. Certainly a big thicker than my Precision but it allegedly shares the same neck as the MIM Geddy Lee

The truss rod works fine -as for how low it will go, I haven't spent much time setting it up as it was always intended to be a spare but I'll have a go when I get back from work tonight and see how low I can get it to go

I love the bass and my wife doesn't want me to sell it and I don't need the cash for anything but to be honest I need something to motivate me to finish off my Ibanez

I do have a hard case that was originally for my Ibanez that I could use as I don't have a lot of packaging left anymore but it would add to the weight making it a bit more to post.

I don't have anything that I need at the moment as far as trades go

I've got the action down as low as it will go right now and its 4mm between fret and string at the 12th fret but there's a fair bit of buzzing around fret 15 and 16. I reckon if you tweaked the neck and added a shim, as the saddles are almost bottoming out, you should get it a good bit lower
