RhysP Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Decided to sell my last remaining bass, my Japanese 57RI Fiesta Red Precision. It's a lovely bass but I'm just not playing anymore, and now I've had to retire on medical grounds I can't afford the luxury of hanging on to instruments I don't play. Overall condition is excellent, just one small chip & a dent in the finish behind the bridge where I had a wall hanger disaster last year. The pickup has also been upgraded to a Seymour Duncan (think it's a quarterpounder, the person who owned it before me did this so I'm not sure). Comes with a Hiscox LiteFlite case. Currently strung with Rotosound Flats. Looking for £550 but open to sensible offers. Not interested in trades. This bass will have to be collection only as I don't have suitable packaging materials & I'm not well enough to go out looking for them at this point in time. Sorry about that.

karlfer Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Sorry to hear you are unwell Mr. P. Regarding courier, is there none of the Basschat Massive in Cardiff that can pop around for half an hour, help you out? Something like the Hiscox, I'd be just tempted to pull a black bin bag over each end, then tape them in the middle. Sorry, I'm 200 miles away or I'd come and give you a hand. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I sent one like that was when I had to return one so I sent it back exactly as it had been sent to me. If somebody is happy to receive the bass in the Hiscox case with a couple of bin liners covering it then I'd be happy to post it within the UK.
