Wilco Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Very sad to be putting this great bass up for sale, but my kit downsize for physical & change of car reasons continues. I've owned it from new & have made a number of changes to the original either for upgrade, performance or aesthetic reasons. Condition wise is very good for a 10 year old bass - a couple of really small dings, very light scuff near jack socket (not coming up on pics but this is visible), small amount of light buckle rash & a few hard to see surface scratches. Things I've changed:- The tuners & capacitor were the only weak points on these basses so:- Tuners replaced with high quality Hipshot HB2'S Capacitor replaced with a Sprague For performance reasons changed the pickups - the original ones sound fine, but are a little polite for Geddy's sound (they are included in the sale however). Those have been replaced by Entwistle JBXN's which are Neo pickups that have a much hotter output. Much more Geddy! For visual & practical reasons did the following:- Changed neckplate to one which has a Geddy hologram on - very cool! Fender strap locks fitted The scratchplate is original - the amalgam symbol is a vinyl sticker Note this is a very solid instrument - my bathroom scales are reading 9.4lbs. Collection from Swindon or will meet up for a handover up to an hours drive away from there. Post option available at whatever it costs(circa additional £20?). However I've nothing to post it in so if postage is required, the bass will be sold with a case. Two choices which are either a used Thomann hardcase (With large white Fender vinyl logos added) for an additional £25, or an official hardly used Fender Moulded ABS hardcase at £80. Will not post without one of these two cases included in the purchase, but they are an option on collection or handover. Looks fantastic, great tone & plays superbly - will be sorry to see it go but needs must.
