NBD Vintage V1005SP

[kodiakblair]

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

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"

That does feature some rather lovely timber.
