I'm after a 51/55 Precision relic ... but there are limits

[Clarky]

This looks like it got in an accident with a belt sander and a bucket of engine grease

Oh I don't know. It has a certain, er... charm.

Just looks like it's been attacked with hammer that was covered in sh*t

More like anthrax than charm

Probably wise to have a tetanus jab before playing it... just to be on the safe side.

Not only has it been relic'd, it's also dual nationality.

Thanks BetaFunk I was just about to post the same link.

They all seem to be selling for outrageous prices though.

Clarky, have you checked out the CS 1955 Relic in Bassgear? I have one and can't ever imagine parting with it. It's a very special bass, still blows be away each time I pick it up.

Hey matey I have done but I am just not a fan of black basses, superficial though that sounds. If they could re-spray it blonde I would be in like Flynn!!!

I had a play on that, it was really nice.

I hear you, I'm half way through selling an absolutely gorgeous CS 64 P Bass, one of the best I've played and just because it's white, a colour I can't get on with.

I like black basses but I'm not too keen on the sunburst patch on my relic, such a good bass though that I'll overlook that!

Good luck on your search pal.

I really like the industrial accident look but Christ that hit over £500 and didn't touch the reserve?
