Bassassin Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 That's a rarity - early example, passive, single-pickup & 22 frets. Can't remember seeing this version come up before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Bet it weighs a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 1 hour ago, songofthewind said: Bet it weighs a ton. I bet it doesn't. The Studio models weighed a ton but the Musician models, AFAIK, are more user friendly. I had the MC824 which is a passive model like this except a PJ configuration and it was fine weight wise. I've never seen one exactly like this Before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 To be sure, my experience of these is limited. A friend had a two pickup fretless back in the eighties, which I think was a Musician. It was a pro instrument for sure, no lightweight.

TheGreek Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I messaged the seller: the weight of the guitar is 4.4 Kg / 9.6 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 'Slight bow in the neck' - could be absolutely normal relief and he doesn't realise, might need a truss rod tweak but worst case scenario he knows about stuff like this and he is being upfront and warning of a neck issue!

TheGreek Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I asked about that... New message from: alanaboo0114(580) Hi micktomazou, its not a job i would attempt myself, if i were to keep it i would have a professional to have a look and set it up. I'm not a bass player and as i stated in my eBay description I bought the guitar as an addition to my studio, Its hardly been used just sitting on my wall in the studio (along with other gear ) for years.So with age chasing me down the road and a lack of motivation! the fact that a laptop and software can replace most of my equipment its time to sell.

Bigwan Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 A work colleague of mine has the exact same model, dating to '78. Very nice. His is a little heavier. He's offered it to me a few times but always when I'm skint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Be interested to know how the neck bow panned out if it was a BCer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Outrageous bargain. A truss rod tweak will probably fix the neck bow, amazing how many people are superstitious/reticent about simple jobs like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
