I had a go on this last time I was in there, it's an astonishing instrument... I'd have to change that gold hardware though!

It is nice but do you not think its a little too... Erm... What's the word?... Flamboyant for the local WMC bingo bookend gigs? :-P

F*** 'em

Also if you ever needed to move it on I'm not convinced there is a huge market for £3k seven string fretless basses....

What are 'all the wrong reasons' ?

Use it as a paddle for your kayak ? Turn it into matchsticks and make a model of Sunderland Catherdral ?

Personally I hate the look of those extra long pick ups, surely they're for a 10 string or something? Spoils the look for me, but I have enough trouble with 4 strings

Oh! Yes the fish would have to go

I've played it too. Surprisingly easy to orientate around the seventh string and that part almost feels like a long scale guitar. The action is super, super low. Martin makes some of the best necks in the world IMO. Its been in the shop for over a year though.

You're far too pottymouthed to play a bass with the fish symbol

Do you reckon if I offered him a signed photo of me and a bag of toffees, he might let it go?

'All the wrong reasons' is because it is shiny!!

Only if either were worth the asking price

Seriously though, I'm confident that he'd be open to negotiation. You'd have one hell of a bass.
