phsycoandy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) A good honest and well played example in black gloss finish. This has been played seriously and has lots of minor scars and stuff from its hard life. There is some slap wear to the pup covers and the tail end of the fret board near the neck pickup, the neck however is superb and virtualy unblemished front and back and nice and straight. Make no mistake if you want to hang it on the wall this may not be the one, but if you want to continue slapping the hell out of it, this is just the ticket. Sounds great, could do with a serious pro setup. All electronics seem to work well but again could do with some lube and a check over, the LED works. This is a Mark King Model, not a Roadie and has the XLR out aswell as the standard jack. No case. I'm not sure what these go for, this is a very early 1986 model I believe from the serial number: 06762. PM me with some offers, but not too silly ones! Im not easily offended so fire away.

mgauction Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 As always, when these pop up -- they are beautiful! Good luck with the sale. I would definitely be interested but I am in the USA and shipping is atrocious. Sure would like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GB is going nowhere at the moment! The Jaydee is just surplous at the mo so trying to redress the credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think £850might be a bit steep to be honest for a quick sale A.its not a red one(not as popular) B.If it needs tlc its a trip to J.D in Birmingham which again can be costly.

phsycoandy Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've decided to get it refinished, it wasnt bad by any means for a 32 year old bass, then I may keep it as it sounds so good, nobody seemed particularly interested anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
