[color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Prefer in-hand inspection, rather than shipping, but contact me by PM with any queries regarding that.[/font][/size][/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]All in all, an excellent replica bass, looks, feels, and sounds the part. Better than any others I’ve seen, and certainly more accurate. Pricing is not easy, as the parts alone add up to quite a bit, let alone the time spent in ageing it all. I know the price of Limelights, but this certainly isn’t one of those. I also know the price of Bravewoods, and it isn’t one of those either (they are excellent, although the replica he made many years ago didn’t have a maple-cap neck), so I figure a price in the middle of those two would be sensible, so that’s what I’ve done. Any comments on price, or sensible offers, drop me a PM.[/font][/size][/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]If it doesn’t sell, it’ll go in the loft for resurrection in another few years.[/font][/size][/font][/color]


[color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]PX wise?, not really looking for anything, and need space, but a first series export ’57 JV P would be a possible exception.[/font][/size][/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Can take more pics if necessary, just ask.[/font][/size][/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Calibri][size=4][font=Calibri]Get that 'Live at Leeds' look and feel, without the £25k price tag in fact for the price of a MIM!![/font][/size][/font][/color]
