Trade Pending: 2014 Gibson Midtown Bass and Case- £800 £800

[Old Horse Murphy]

For sale is a beautiful 2014 Gibson USA Midtown Bass in Vintage Sunburst. It comes with a fitted Gibson hardcase in immaculate condition.

The bass is only a month or so old, but unfortunately the project i bought it for has disbanded.

It has been fitted with F[s]ender light gauge [/s] TI Flatwound strings and has a super action (very low and smooth).

There is 1 mark on the bass (pictured) where there is a small scratch (3 cms long) in the nitro finish. It's not through the lacquer and goodness knows how it happened. Regardless, it's absolutely stunning in the flesh and still has that sweet nitro smell

Here are some specs:

- Chambered mahogany body with solid maple top and f-holes
- Mahogany neck with slim, bass profile
- Bound baked maple fingerboard with acrylic dot inlays
- Powerful Vintage-style TB Mini and TB Plus pickups in the neck and bridge positions
- Grover tuners and Shamrock keys with 20:1 ratio

These are selling for £999, which IMHO is a steal for a US made bass. Due to the mark on mine, I'm looking for £800.

It can be picked up from either Woking (weekends) or Bristol (weekdays).

I've got a Midtown 6 string - it's fabulous. I suspect this is too.

Thanks. It's a wonderful bass, just a bit redundant at the moment (bloody singer-songwriters )

Hi Nick
What is the neck length?

[Old Horse Murphy]

It's 34" scale

This is the only reason why my Hofner '61 Cavern bass is for sale!

Bump- would possibly consider trades up to £450 in value for a Fender Marcus Miller or Geddy Lee Jazz
