SOLD Prototype Lodestone bass by Martin Sims purchased from Ashdown £200 Ipswich

[basskit_case]

I am selling this recently acquired bass due to another unexpected lockdown spending spree, I have just bought an arcade cabinet and need to cover that outlay and some anticipated refurb costs!

Bass is in decent condition, fully functioning, but some tarnishing to the tuners. 

I purchased this bass direct from Ashdown here:

I purchased this because I wanted to try the lodestone body shape and it was a good chance to get hold of a Sims built bass.

The bass is 34” scale from nut to bridge.  

4.2kg on the bathroom scales and 42mm at the nut.

There are no marks on the body of the bass near the controls I just have very shiny knobs.

Selling for the price I paid £200 plus £20 delivery, pickup is a possibility.
