davedave Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Hi guys. So, it`s been up for a while now. I`ll give it a wee while before going to ebay at a higher price. £2500 firm for a straight cash sale, or part ex with a trade price of £2900. You`re getting a hell of a lot of bass for the new price. It's a late 62 and so it isn't a slab board. It has a very old body only refin in Fiesta Red (quite a pinky hue). It has a later bridge on that appears to be a pretty old one and I replaced the pots and wiring harness a couple of years ago. It comes with its original covers and case, which has been sprayed black by a previous owner. The frets are pretty low, but it still plays fine. I've had the same set of flats on it since I bought it twelve years ago. It's a lovely bass and I'll be sad to see it go. Cheers, Dave.

FretlessKing Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 That might be the best looking bass I have ever seen. Bit out of my price range unfortunately haha. Whoever gets this is going to get a beaut!
davedave Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks mate. The colour has grown on me over the years. It sounds even better than it looks. No doubt I'll regret selling it.
davedave Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 I've got a fretless 72 p I'm selling too.
davedave Posted November 15, 2013 Author Posted November 15, 2013 Bump. Happy to answer questions and field offers.
tanuki Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 like the sound of the fretless p any details?
davedave Posted November 28, 2013 Author Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah, I'll get some pics sorted if you want me to email them to you? It's definitely a player grade instrument. Rosewood fretboard, the obligatory added jazz pickup, stripped finish, non original pickguard, jack and strap locks. Sounds glorious though.
davedave Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 Bump. Plenty of interest but no buyer yet. I'll be gigging in Islington on the 4th of January if anybody in that neck of the woods wants to come have a try. I'll even let you buy me a beer.
davedave Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 Oh, and maybe I could be tempted with trades. I would be interested in Gibson Thunberbirds, an early sixties ebo or something weird and wonderful. I have been drooling over the Fano on these hallowed pages. Try me, I can only say no.
sam-davies Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 A courtesy bump for a fine looking bass that's out of my price range!!!
Jigster Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I have contact with a guy looking to sell a 1960 EBo - will I pm you his details?

davedave Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 Yes please Jigster. Thank you very much.
davedave Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 I think all these bumps make up the majority of my post count.
