ltswifty Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Got this off bass off basschat about a year ago. It's extremely nice, but the only bass I ever really play is my ESP P-Bass. It's a natural Fender Marcus Miller 4 string, over £400 of upgrades. Upgrades are John East Marcus 01 pre amp and plate. [url="http://www.bestbassgear.com/marcus-retro-preamp.htm"]http://www.bestbassg...etro-preamp.htm[/url] Seymour Duncan Antiquity Pickups. So all the standard weak spots in the Marcus Miller upgraded. Comes in a tweed hard case.

Happy to courier at cost. Cheers Simon Edited November 26, 2013 by ltswifty
ltswifty Posted August 26, 2013 Author Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Actually you may well be able to get some of the upgrades cheaper now. Looking online now:- John East marcus 01 with plate £230 Seymour Antiquity II £93 each Hardcase about £40 Total = £466 You may well be able to find these cheaper, I've not searched extensively. Lets just say it's got a couple of nice upgrades and a case. Will update above. Certainly don't want to mislead anyone. Edited August 26, 2013 by ltswifty
ltswifty Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 I'm away from home until Thursday, but will let you know as soon as I am back. Cheers Simon
mart3442 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Should be no quibbling about the money spent. This Bass is worth every penny. If I had the dosh, I'd buy it myself.
harrybgoode Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I'm interested but I live in Italy... can we work it out ?
ltswifty Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 PMs replied too, including harrybgoode. Cheers Simon
cavster123 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Wow, I thinks thats my old Miller bass, did ya buy it off an Irish guy, Mark was his name? I did all them upgrades, I spent a fortune on that bass, all the work was done by Derek Nelson of danvel guitars, hes crafted guitars for bono, the edge etc. Its an awesome axe. If its the same one, I really really regret selling it. Best of luck with the sale.
ltswifty Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks cavster123, yes it's a good one no doubt. funkle, really sorry about the delay, just been busy with family and work. I need to get some scales, will do my best to get it weighed Tuesday evening. It's not lightweight being a 70s Jazz replica, about average I would have thought for a MM, guess would be 10lbs. Cheers Simon
funkle Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Hey up. Definitely don't mean to nag, but were you able to weigh this yet? Thank again. Pete
ltswifty Posted October 11, 2013 Author Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Have finally got some scales. Not sure how accurate they are, but looks weigh about 10lbs. I'm an average sized chap and it has always felt very comfortable to me, but if you have back issues then it's not going to be for you. Cheers Simon Edited November 26, 2013 by ltswifty
ltswifty Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 More PMs, all replied to. Cheers Simon
ltswifty Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 Looked like it was on it's way to Germany, but still available. PMs replied to.
Conan Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Any interest in trades at all? Spector Euro 4 LX? See my sig for the sale thread...
ltswifty Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) PMs replied too. This is the model made in Japan rather than the later Mexican one. Few people have asked that so added it to the title also. Cheers. Edited November 18, 2013 by ltswifty
