Epiphone Thunderbird Pro classic iv plus extras, swap for Jack Casady bass £400

[FinnDave]

I've advertised this before, then changed  my mind, but the band I am now in would really suit a Jack Casady bass perfectly. This, of course, has happened since I sold my second JCB last year! I am looking for a good condition example, preferably a gold top with a hard case.

Im exchange, I can offer my rather special Epiphone Thunderbird pro classic iv, the through-neck version with Gibson pick ups. This bass, in addition to being in perfect condition, has the added attractions of a Babizc full contact bridge, a significant and expensive improvement over the original, a new set of Gotoh tuners, and the manufacturer's. hard case

The bridge was on the bass when I bought it, but the tuners and current set of D'Addario nickel rounds were fitted and the bass set up by a local pro luthier, who was so impressed with the quality of this bass that he ordered one for himself. Alas, this one seems to have been a 'lucky bass' as it is well above the quality of most other Epiphones, good as they are. I bought this last year, and had bought a Gibson T bird just a few weeks before, and to be honest, this was the better bass. 

It is an impressive instrument that can stand comparison with the very best around. I shall be sorry to let it go, but I really want to get a decent semi-acoustic again without spending money or increasing the number of basses I have to find room for!  

Available to try through a decent amp and cab in my house between Abingdon and Witney in West Oxfordshire. I prefer not to risk damaging a bass this good by placing it at the mercy of the couriers.
