This is from the original run dated 2008, crafted in China. The same factory & time as the original Classic Vibe 60's which are now changing hands at around £400.

Unlike most 50's style basses, this has a modern C profile Precision bass neck and 41.3mm nut, so it's not the usual "baseball bat".

Light at 8lb 2oz (Basswood). It has 3 little dimples, pretty good for 12 years old. New D'Addario 40-100's. Basic gig bag included.

Sorry, no trades, no offers. A £50 non refundable deposit will hold it for you.

If the Sandberg goes first, I keep this one.

Collection from Darlington would be great, but I will meet up within 100 miles.

THE FIRST picture is a stock image, to show the plate & tugbar. They are not on the bass but will be included.

Keep safe, Karl.

The early, China made Classic Vibes are absolutely amazing basses.
Great colour on this one :) that blue works well with the maple neck.
If only I could justify owning another bass...... (well, I haven't got a 50's P bass... hmmm) - Sadly, I already have too many

Thanks Marc, it really is an extremely good bass.

The way the original early Chinese Series CV's are going, makes me wonder if in time they will be the next JV's.

Sadly, I'm too old to see if that happens 😭😆

Facebook conversation at teatime.

Bloke. "You know you can get a new one for £389 don't you?"

Me.      "Yes"

Bloke. "I want a blue one".

Me.      "Perhaps buy a new one & get it refinished?"

Bloke. "That'll cost me hundreds more."

Me.      "Perhaps buy mine?" 

Bloke   "Yours is too expensive."

Me.       " Have a nice night, 'Bye."

I had 

“bit steep that”

’I’ve listed the cost of the fender I’m selling and the parts...then said “offers around this” so make me an offer...’

”still too steep”

this guy went round and round in circles. 
 

then I blocked him.

I don’t understand people. If you see something and you don’t want to pay that much then move on and keep quiet, it’s not that hard. 
 

Jon

he had one reply “too steep” and added “still” when I tried to explain. Clown.

Still for sale? 

Yes, still currently for sale at £275 HOWEVER that doesn't include a gigbag or case. There are a couple who have made encouraging noises but nobody decisive. If it ain't gone by Monday night it ain't going.

I also need to stress yet again, it is fully passive.
