neepheid Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]2013 Fender Starcaster bass. Only bought December last year, in as new condition, gigged once. Short scale 30", semi-hollow (centre block), 2 Fender Wide Range pickups, VVTT, pickup selector. Bass is surprisingly hefty and substantial for a semi-hollow. Will include a gig bag (admittedly not generously padded) which actually fits the bass - it's quite hard to find suitable gig bags for hollowbody bass guitars and Fender don't provide one with the bass when you buy it.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]These are around £680 new, so looking for £450 plus postage. No offers, please.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,] [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,] [/font][/color] Edited July 31, 2014 by neepheid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I crashed my car a couple of weeks ago, most likely a write off (insurance company taking their sweet time to make that decision), so need to raise some funds to help with a replacement There will probably be at least one more sale, think I'll have to let my G&L El Toro go as well, but we'll see.

NoirBass Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) I had a go on one of these yesturday and was really impressed. Totally different to your usual Fender, a great range of sounds and a nice neck. Sorry to hear about the car GLWTS.

Hutton Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Matt is a thorough gent to deal with and he keeps his gear in great nick. This is a cracking bass and a bargain at this price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I tried one of these a while back to kill time and it was actually quite wonderful. Blew away the Guild Starfire I originally went in to buy! GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Apple Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Neep, I'm interested in how the front strap button is fixed on the top horn? On my Coronado it's on the neck heel at a right angle to the neck. I'd change mine, but there's nowt to fix in at the horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I couldn't tell you with any certainty, but I assume there is a small block of wood in the end of the horn for the strap button to screw into, in much the same way that in the fully hollow Jack Casady, there is a small block so that the bridge has something to be screwed into.

[/quote] I think I'll just have to live with the button where it is If your Starcaster is finished and plays anywhere as good as my Coronado, then it will be a treat for the new owner. I know we can't comment (too much) on seller's prices, but there's a great line in The Simpsons where Homer says 'I've got prices so low, you'll think I'm suffering from brain damage!'
