warwickhunt Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) My continued downsize carries on unabated...

It has a few small marks but the kind of marks you'd expect of a bass a couple of years old NOT 26 years old. As I have downsized house and rationalising my collection I am selling this, a Stage I bass and 'possibly' my 1991 Infinette. I can organise a courier at cost (£35 with insurance) or you can do so yourself but I'd be happier having someone collect. [/font][/color] [url="http://s54.photobucket.com/user/warwickhunt/media/IMG_2465_zpsa20dfd04.jpg.html"][/url] I didn't want to clog the thread with pics but I can take fresh ones of any angle/feature that you'd like. Sorry, no offers on the price and though I am not keen to take a part-ex, I will so long as it is priced such that I can sell it on here straightaway for whatever price you value it at. If I think that a bass offered wouldn't realistically sell quickly on here at your price, please don't be offended if I decline your offer (not intending to be rude).

Tandro Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Oh John, if only I knew you had this in the stable, things might have gone so differently last time...yet another bass in your possession that I 'have' to have (that and your Infinette) In fact, one of the main reasons I joined BC, yet all these years its alluded me. Mental torture I tell you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing the choice was not there at the time, cause then I'd have done something silly. Anybody out there wanna give me a loan? I'd just buy out John's whole collection...
