Ah. 
 

in my haste, I missed the detail.

 

£400 and a decent repair/respray.

[Maude]

Luckily the repaired neck break is in the very dark, almost black area so it could be smoothed and blended in quite easily. As long as the repair is solid. 

Irrelevant now anyway, it's sold.

Had a B 301F fretless, as close as you will get to a double bass sound. Brilliant!!! The bridge though, nightmare🙈

That said, another one I should not have sold..ho hum...

I had a 301. Sounded great and looked great, just the neck for me was too thick, and could never get the hang of setting up the bridge.

Mark Angel used 301 with Wrathchild (UK).

I never thought I would see the day when Wrathchild UK made Basschat! I did a festival with them a couple of years back. Barely recognisable from the Stakk Attakk days. Different line-up now too, obviously.

Hah! Love me some Wrath!

I've mentioned them before, coincidentally in another Guild B-301 thread.

I loved them too, great band, music was much more fun in that era.

Very much likey indeed!  Now I'm wondering what I could sell to fund one, ha ha!

And in the 70s a friend had a very nice Guild JS2 which often comes to mind.

I see the bass player from Ken's Groundhogs uses a B301
