Kiwi Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 The first is a Cutlass I with a FACTORY FITTED three bolt neck and through body bridge. The neck date is 1984 and the body stamp is 1979. This bass was sold through a store in Florida as part of a Cliff Williams clearance (I have a PDF of the original listing on the shops website claiming its provenance). I've tried contacting AC/DC directly to confirm the provenance but had no reply. Cliff's home address is still on the case so if the eventual buyer happens to be in Florida at any point maybe they could pop round for a beer and watch a game. I'm reliably informed that there are maybe only 5 Cutlass I basses known with these preEB features. There were only an estimated 600 Cutlass I basses made before production ceased. This instrument is in reasonable condition although Cliff has put a few knocks, chips and scratches into the bass thanks to his chunky belt buckle! But hey, thats all part of the mojo, right? If it ships internationally then normally I ship via FedEx for international freight, its a little pricier than some but they've been 100% reliable for me in the past and have been so quick that not even UK customs have noticed wink.gif. I think the record for an express delivery to me from the US was 36 hours. If you want to use a different courier, you're free to do that but at your own risk. Any interested parties are invited to make me an offer on the instrument by the end of this week. However Alex has told me what he thinks he could get for them on consignment so if any offers fail to beat that, I'll probably take my chances with the consignment route.

I'm probably sorted for stingray sounds for the forseeable with the mongrel preEB which I'm keeping. Thanks for the offer though mate.
Kiwi Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Yes mate, its not forgotten but there's still a fair bit of collector interest and then I need to take the instrument to the Bass Gallery.

Kev Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) purely out of curiosity really, iv never seen one other than this before! Edited November 13, 2008 by BassManKev
garethb Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 HI there, Is this still for sale and if so how much are you looking for? Thanks, G
NickThomas Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 This is the only sale I've seen that's made me consider going back to 4 string. Played it a couple of years ago at a basschat meet and it plays like a dream. Awesome bass!"!!
Kiwi Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Sorry gents, this sold through the Bass Gallery. I should have marked the thread as such, sorry about that.
