Clarky Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) I bought this only a few weeks ago from BCer guybrush threepwood (aka Craig) who had previously bought it from BC's Owen. After the initial burst of enthusiasm I very quickly discovered that I simply do not enjoy playing short scale basses with medium/high action, however beautiful and retro they may look. It sounds lovely and thumpy but I just don't like the experience of playing it compared with my Jazz bass. Best pics and description are on the previous FS thread and here's a tasty pic Craig took (hope thats OK, Craig?)

Also happy to hand over in London. I would also consider p/x against a US or Japan Fender Precision in sunburst/rosewood neck or oly white/rosewood or maple neck (no other trade offers and no MIM Fenders thanks, sorry but I am a gear snob!)

Clarky Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 This is what a Senator sounds like (there is also a video on the previous FS thread) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoVoLDjoNog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Will listen to near offers in order to move this 51 year-old piece of history on (the bass probably thinks the same of me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Saturday bump. As stated, happy to listen to cash offers PS, as the linked post points out it has the most mojo'd original case ever (held together by a leather belt wrapped around it!) I would post in this inside bubble wrap and then inside a cardboard box Edited November 15, 2014 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Bump for an awesome bass. I've had mine for over 10 years and love it. A demon in the studio. Shortscale thump with flats in the studio ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! And that is an awesome price for it. There's one in the Bass Gallery on Denmark St (or was when I was there a few weeks ago) going for £950.

Clarky Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Cheers Gareth! It does sound fab and its a YOB bass too which was an added attraction for me. I just can't get comfortable with the short scale and 'old school' action, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
