Couple of interesting trade offers so far but have got my eye on something else so would prefer the cash hence price drop!

What would convince me trade wise would be a G&L L5000,Yamaha BB5000 (ideally BB5000A), Ricky or Vigier 5 strings.

very nice bass!
cool with the biding around the neck!
what is the strings space at the bridge?

[pluckedout]

Thanks! String spacing is a very comfortable 13mm at the bridge.

[slapierro]

13 is very tight! are you ure?
is it perhaps: 18 or 19mm?

Just re-measured and it's more like 14mm but yes, it is tight. Comfortable and easy to play though, string spacing is pretty consistent all the way up the neck, gets to 9mm at the nut.

[slapierro]

thanks, have a bump

I owned one of these in the early 90's. I've never seen another one since or prior to it.
Can I ask where you found it or how long ago?
Curious if it's the same one.

[pluckedout]

Hi - if yours was serial number 8888 then it's the same one! :-)

I picked it up on eBay a while back because I loved the look but sadly my hands are just too small.

[pluckedout]

still here!

[Dazed]

Blimey no chance of recalling the serial number, it was 20 odd yeas ago!
Mine had 2 bartolinis and no scratch plate. It was a solid electric blue colour..... Until I took all the paint off and refinished it in a natural oil finish.

I remember selling it and then seeing it at a guitar show at Umist for over twice the price I'd sold it for :eek:

Just thought it might stick in the mind given how unusual it is!

This definitely is a transparent blue with flame maple top so fairly certain it's not your old one, the paint doesn't look like a refinish and it's unlikely they'd paint a solid colour over a lovely flame top (unless they took a leaf out of Gibson's book :-))

UMIST is my alma mater, sadly they never had a guitar show when I was there!

Getting back into playing 6 string so pleased to see them appearing for sale. GLWTS.

withdrawn! Going to fit a new John East preamp and then it's off to a shop.
