ash Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) I’m selling this old Marathon to fund another build project - this one is all original there is some lacquer checking but it is the original finish. Neck is excellent as are the electrics. It’s in very good condition - the string guides which are Shergold - are later additions to the bass. A small area of binding has been repaired. Looking for £475 if anyone is interested. I’m not looking for trades. More pics on request. It’s very light weight at under 4kgs. Single output version with stereo switch. Can post at buyer’s cost in the UK only. Sorry no case. Edited October 14, 2020 by ash SOLD 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 This reminds me of my first 'real' bass (after a fireglow Hondo II Ricky copy) which was an 8-string natural version of this.....I played mine with only 4 strings for a few years.... and was a little neck heavy - not surprising....hey-ho the things you do in your teens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Why is this still here? It’s one of the most iconic and playable basses out there. It’s a P-Bass with a curiously Anglo Saxon edge, albeit lighter, cooler and a whole lot rarer 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sell them and then end up getting them back or buying different ones. I do need to cut down my collection. 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 An all too familiar tale. I expected it to sell ages ago. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
