Great looking bass, always loved these but I suspect it may be a tad too heavy for my aching shoulder. Could you put the weight on for this and your ‘51 please?

[Bobby D]

Yeah no worries. Working from home today but I can whip out and get a digital scale this arvo.

Wow, that is a nice weight and a looker to boot.

[Bobby D]

Cheers buddy. It's a really nice bass. 

[Bobby D]

It's £250 collected which is what I paid for it. I can put it in a gigbag I have spare and fully protect and package. I can take it into work and get the logistics guys to do it nicely. Shipping is probs around £20 max.

That’s an amazing weight for what looks like a really chunky body.

Hadn't really thought about before as weight makes no difference to me. It's a cracking bass all round tbh.

I quite like this, if my Farida sells, I'll consider treating myself 😉👌🏻
