Gumtree Edinburgh - quite tempted by this myself tbh - must resist ...

"[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Fantastic remake of a vintage classic by Squire, the official sister company of Fender. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]This plays really well throughout the fret range. No buzz, intonation is bang on, the action is excellent, it sounds as a Fender does, and has been really well set up - better than factory! Its simple electrics are totally up-gradable if you want. Its got a weird mad custom scratch plate giving it a bit of a Punk vibe. The origional plate is clean and white. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Through a valve amp it sounds totally awesome for a passive circut, and it can be inproved with p-up upgrade from Seymore Duncan or somthing. I just don't play it anymore, coz my other basses are my favored sound. Its sound is responsive to all styles of playing too. With a pick it really stands out. It has a 4 saddle bridge, not the vintage 2. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Price is NON NEGOTIABLE. If you want me to send it to you, I'd have to charge extra for P&P, and that varies. I'd prefer to meet and seal the deal by face, just so bass is not damaged. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]I may be persuaded for part exchange for a good old usb external sound card for linux/mac/pc (and proof it works) though. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Thanks for looking... at the side ways photos gumtree decided to do. [/size][/font][/color]

sweet basses. I have the butterscotch one... for £120, how come it's still there?

[Cat Burrito]

I too have the Butterscotch one and it is one of only two electric basses I play now (the other is also Squier). I have to say I prefer the Butterscotch to the Lake Placid Blue simply because I like a nice glossed neck. This model would still be an absolute steal at £200, never mind £120.
