SOLD 1 off prototype Retrovibe Vantage telebass £200

[DarkHeart]

Its with a severely heavy heart that ive decide to put this up for sale, I only took it in trade for a Hohner Jack a few weeks ago and was bowled over by its looks and its sound, theyre both lovely.........trouble is as a dedicated pick player the bound slab bodied sides wreak havoc with my forearms during a gig so much so I had to change to my usual Jazz last night, im gutted i really wanted this as a keeper but for me it is uncomfortable to play. I dont want to trade as such unless its for something interesting, i would much rather a straight sale, im not going to budge on the price either as its worth every penny not only for its looks and sound but also the exclusivity as it is a genuine one off. If it hadnt been a bound body i would have had a forearm chamfer added and a refinish. Postage will be around £15

Love that mate - G&L ASAT written all over it.
No funds or your arm would still be attached to it as I ran down the street.
