Grangur Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Hi there, I just know I'm going to regret this. This is a nice bass. I've spent a lot of happy hours playing this bass. It's in deep-dark red with a tort pickguard and a Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter pound pickup. The neck is rosewood with some lovely grain and I can let the new owner have a Fender soft case with this one. Electrics - all the compartments are copper lined. I replaced the pots with CTS linear pots and used an Orange-drop cap. The bridge is earthed and it sounds really good IMHO. The only reason for selling is that the world is full of beautiful basses. I want to cull the collection and find that single (or maybe 2) bass(s) that is the ultimate and really get on with a more simple life.... OK, don't we all? Not looking for any trades, thanks. I'm in Bishops Stortford (Think Stansted Airport), so if your near, you can come and try it. I also travel about in the south half of the country so I might be able to drop it in to you. I can post it too if required. oh, yes. This also has added genuine Mojo. As you can see in the pictures. There's other minor dinks and scrapes too. If you'd like more pictures, then let me know. Thanks for looking. Edited October 11, 2017 by Grangur
Grangur Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 [quote name='Left Foot' timestamp='1507041627' post='3382955'] That colour GLWS! [/quote] I know. I'm not usually a fan of red. But it looks really cool.
Grangur Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 [quote name='ead' timestamp='1507100491' post='3383250'] Is that Midnight Wine? [/quote] I'm not a Fender expert, but I'd say that's a good name for it. It is the original colour and it's not CAR.
Grangur Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 Bump. If this doesn't go fairly quick I might pull it.
Gottastopbuyinggear Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 That is indeed called Midnight Wine - I have a Mexican Strat (shhh, don't tell anyone on here - it's a guitar!) from 2003 in that colour.
ead Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 OK your secret is safe with me, I won't mention the [size=8][b]guitar[/b][/size] to anybody
