Beedster Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) OLY WHITE SOLD AND PINK STAYING OUT FOR THE TIME BEING CHRIS Having to sell both these, and pretty quick. One I've only had for a week, the other somewhat longer. I hope Neil (artisan) will forgive me for selling what was until recently his pink P-bass. I need to raise some cash quite quickly so I am selling both at what are, IMHO, bloody good prices. I'll have to ebay them at BIN in a couple of days if they dont sell here, so if you're interested, let me know! First is a 1996 USA Olympic White Precision [b]*NOW SOLD*[/b][u][/u] upgraded with BADASS III (string through) and SD Basslines P and J PUPS. Lovely maple board. It's been my favourite bass for a good while. Currently strung with TI flats it's sweet as and does everything from funky growl to Motown thump. Pretty much perfect condition. Sold with hard case. Will also provide original bridge. I can also let you have it with tort (top pics) or white guards (bottom pic). £550 ovno.

Not had it long enough to gig but it seems to be everything you'd expect an MIJ to be. Beautiful colour, really beautiful. Will also be sold in a hard case. £280 (same as Neil was asking for it plus £30 for the case). A few dinks but pretty good condition overall.

No trades I'm afraid. I'm also selling a Roland Cube 100 for £175 in the amps section Cheers Chris Edited August 14, 2007 by Beedster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two great looking basses so should shift pretty quickly I would have thought, especially 'Kylie'. Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hey Chris - dont tell me you have pulled Kylie and Danni's mum, I'd make that an early 70's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 BF's hot on the trail on this one Nik! If it works out I may have something quite impressive - in fact the bass I've been after for years - at the SE Bash next week. Certainly I'm gonna have to sell pretty much everything else I own bass-wise (and possibly the GF) to pay for it, but I think it'll be worth it. It'll be sad to lose Kylie, she's a great bass and a really versatile gigger, but, perhaps it's a bit like the Stiffler's Mum scenario in American Pie, the young 'uns might look sweet but the old 'uns have that something special Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'73 Precision in sunburst with JPUP added at the bridge (and added a very long time ago judging by the thumb wear in the finish just above it). To my eyes the sexiest bass I've seen in years and the best possible combination of vintage mojo with the right PUP combination. Haven't played it much so can't reort so far, but looking forward to setting it up with some nice flats tomorrow. Pics soon folks Pink PBass above still for sale. Offers?

Pics tonight I hope. I'm gonna A-B the strings on this bass, which has a rosewood board. As far as I can tell so far the Daddario's have a uch fuller low end, but I'll get something more accurate later Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
