Conan Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 What a stunner! Incredible condition for its age... I just can't stop looking at it!
Grangur Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1415196795' post='2597737'] So £1800 for a pristine, stock original 1975 sunburst P with maple neck and black pickguard?? Am I missing something or is this a bargain? The early sunbursts are just fantastic. So much red in there compared with modern versions. [/quote] Hey Mark, I've got a can of Dulux gloss white if you're interested in adding this to the Discreet collection?

gary mac Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1415823826' post='2604235'] Crazy that this hasn't sold! [/quote] Someone will fall in love with it soon Kev. Maybe in 2015 a BC'er celebrating a 40th Birthday will want to treat him/herself.
discreet Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Gary, I'd like to nominate you for 'Most Persistent BassChatter of the Year'.

gary mac Posted November 26, 2014 Author Posted November 26, 2014 About time for another bump, just in case there is anyone on Bass Chat who hasn't seen my ad
Stuee Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 I look at this ad daily, Gary. I really want it, but just can't justify it to my other half in the middle of a house renovation :-/ Argh!

Rubbishatbass Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 In 1981 I had one just like this save for the dark fingerboard and for it being a fretless ... had the thumb rest, the lot. I wish I still had it ... if I was single, I'd buy this just for the hell of it and not even play it which would be a shame but I'd just hang it on the wall or something. But I'm not so I can't get it through ... It's a beautiful piece of workmanship though ...
Tweedledum Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 That's a beautiful bass indeed! I'll be in London next year in April. If it's still for sale by then, I'll come by and have a look at it...

I bet Gary can't bear the anticipation.
