biro Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 As my impending, if temporary, move to Canada takes shape, I am considering getting rid of some of my earthly possessions. I bought this one from Backwater, of this parish, just for travelling and I found it extremely enjoyable. I think, however, that most airplane-friendly solution might be to just buy a new bass over there (perhaps a Dingwall, finally?) and travel light, at least one way. So here's a feeler: anybody interested, possibly in London? The bass is in excellent shape. It was in great condition, but I also levelled the frets and now it plays like a dream. I have also bought a regular string adapter, which I can include (for some extra money. Otherwise I'll just keep it and use it with another headless bass of mine.) Pics!

biro Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Well, as I said, they were quite honest: "We are obliged to advertise these units as they are not discontinued, but we cannot supply currently I'm afraid". That being said, I only discovered that because I emailed them, which is a tad unnerving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
