[font=Arial]OK, so just to make sure this is as clear as possible, I'll start with the bad points! [/font]

[font=Arial][u][b]This bass doesn't work[/b][/u] - No sound at all when plugged in, I've opened it up to take a look and I'm not sure what I'm looking at to be honest but it's clearly not right (see pics) - I'm not gonna do the old "it's probably an easy fix, just a bit of soldering..." etc etc as I have absolutely no idea what it's going to take to get it going again. [/font]

[font=Arial]It's clearly been 'modified' (a kind term for it) by someone at some point and now seems to have an extra switch or 2 (I think one has been put in where the LED normally is?) not sure what they were intended for as, like I've said, it doesn't work. [/font]

[font=Arial]Both pickup surrounds are cracked as though the screws were over tightened when putting the pickups back - [/font]

[font=Arial]Also the strap button has been moved, so there's now a hole in the back where that was/should be [/font]

[font=Arial]The good points - [/font]

[font=Arial]It's in fairly good condition aside from the botched electronics, cracked pickup surround and moved strap button - with a few dings to the bass (see pics) but it's certainly not battered [/font]

The leg rest (thankfully) hasn't been modified and works well

[font=Arial]It comes in a fitted hard case which is also in good working order, again a few scrapes and dings.[/font]

[font=Arial]I've priced it based on listings I've seen on here and ebay and (hopefully) tried to make it reasonable, considering the repairs needed.[/font]

[font=Arial]Collection would be good (Plymouth - PL4 0PA), or I'm happy to ship for an extra £20 to mainland UK addresses. [/font]

[font=Arial]Any questions please PM me and I'll try to answer them[/font]

[font=Arial]Cheers![/font]

PM on its way.

It's actually a B2V which has been converted to active. The strap button move is a good idea, keep meaning to move mine in the same way.

Ahhhhh.... how did I not notice that?!? Yes, hence it says B2V on it and not B2[i][u][b]A[/b][/u][/i]V. I think sometimes I just see what I want to see. Cheers for the heads up!

The one I owned had this, I tried it both ways and it made no difference to how it behaved.

[tauzero]

I thought it would stop it rolling forward as much as it does with the standard position.

Ta very much! I'm open to offers on this, probably not trades/part exchanges - as strangely there's not much I really want at the moment.... although... try me, you never know

Hi, is the bass been still available?

[kingforaday]

Hi, I'm holding this bass until 6th June for another basschatter who is going to be passing through Plymouth around then... if for any reason the sale doesn't go ahead I'll update the thread and drop you a line

[italiancross]

Thanks!
