*Signed* Fender Duff McKagan Signature Bass 2007 Guns N Roses £1000

Hi Guys, 

I have for sale a first year (2007) model Duff McKagan Signature bass by Fender. 

I worked for a Fender retailer at the time, had this on pre-order for what seemed like forever and got this on the first UK shipment. Early 2008 I met Duff at a signing at GAK before his show with Velvet Revolver at the Brighton Centre. It is signed in silver sharpie on the back of the headstock. 

The spec is as per the fender site (https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/precision-bass/duff-mckagan-precision-bass/0146500323.html?rl=en_US) with the addition of a pickup upgrade in that the P-bass pickup is either a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 or Fender '62 Custom Shop (i can't remember, Duff used both and I tried both), the wiring was replaced with CTS pots when it needed and Dunlop Strap locks. 

Duff is and was my idol, so I have cherished this bass at the same time as enjoying playing it live, so it isn't perfect. However it is in 9/10 condition with very minor wear. I can provide better pictures.

I am open to sensible offers, as I am not sure how to price this. Given that this is first year, signed by the man it could be worth something in the future. Maybe not...

I am near Arundel in West Sussex.
