kodiakblair Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 A short while back Annoying Twit was talking about " Best looking Basses under £300 " and if only we could get Thru neck and Spalted Maple. It started me looking for Spalted basses and seeing the review of the Vintage V1004 here on BC I was smitten. Found them on GAK for £350 I think and after 6 hours talking myself into buying one went for it only to discover I'd missed the " This model is discontinued " part. Gutted ! Then a 5 string went on Ebay, collection only in London. While waiting on a reply about a courier the auction ended. Had a Buy it price of £260 and a reserve price ? but bids were coming in at £31 so thankfully never sold. Re-listed I got it for £235 + £20 postage. Arrived today Crap photo, Cracking Bass Wasn't just me that thought so, when I picked it up from my folks house there was a guy cleaning the carpets he thought so too. Obviously a man of discerning taste, like myself he has a Peavey Milestone III a Washburn and a Yamaha 5'er. He did some RATM ,me some Billy Talent both reckoned " Belter" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
