I've fancied one of these for a while great looking basses

[karlfer]

Thanks Lee.
Looking at the 4th picture down, it looks like a big screwdriver mark, at the bridge end of the body. It isn't it's just some trick of the camera.
The only marks on it are the Fender light relicing. Don't know if this is different on every bass?

I must actually congratulate you on being the only owner of this model with the foo fighter neck plate, I don't think anyone else has had one after guitar shops and suppliers stealing them!

They should come with two different neckplates, I threw the double F logo one on mine. Nice basses! The slightly slimmer then usual P neck profile is really nice to play.

Good luck selling a lovely bass.

[acidbass]

Beautiful bass, sounds wonderful too, had the pleasure of playing one a while ago and loved it! GLWTS

Thanks gents, PM's replied.

I've still got mine and I know Andy Travis has his. I don't know which shifty shops you go into!!

Great bass though and yours is in much better condition than mine. I've played it so much that it's wearing already... Also, a really great price!

Another owner with an FF neck plate!

Also, if anyone is considering this bass just go for it, they really are good for the money!

I believe there are topics on this bass and included on it are stories of lost neck plates and the stores of which they were purchased from.
Feel free to search but it is out there
I don't blame them if I was "shifty" as them and Foo's fan too, it's just unfair for those spending £700 on an instrument when a collectible part is not included.
Ideally these plates should be numbered and come with a certificate to confirm it.

I'm just glad to see one for sale, good price (£500?!?!), neck plate & gig bag included and a great seller to deal with

BSB out

Following photo to help answer a question. It comes with the original deluxe gig bag. In the constant flux of my gear, this was a great idea at the time, but I've never really got on with it, hardly played it. I've not set it up because it's neck off alchemy. Plays well enough none the less. I've got Mel's old white P, the best I've ever played. I've got Tom's fabulous Sunset Orange jazz. I've got an excellent, passive, Sea Foam Green FSR P/J. Despite WANTING a Custom Shop, anything other than the 3 above is excess I don't NEED. And that McCartney Rick is haunting my dreams and I know I won't be able to play it
Anyway, I babble!

Have to say Karl's photographic skills are akin to a dog playing the piano wearing gloves

I'm almost tempted with this bass me old mate, BUT the neck's rosewood!

[karlfer]

No Mr Tom sir (pedant alert ) the FRETBOARD is rosewood. And it's sold. but thank you for the bump, hope you are ok.
See, even a dog playing the piano wearing gloves has it's day
