Oldman Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) This is a very reluctant feeler. Bought new by me in Aberdeen from R & B Music way back in 1988. Used up until about 1991 on a regular gigging basis, then hardly at all for one reason and another. Used spasmodically up until 1999 ( one gig every blue moon ) hardly used after as I was working overseas and finally retired it when I went 35” 5iver Fretless in 2005. Unused the last 15 years as I went through the card on other basses. It’s a special bass, apart from its heritage and condition (as new, yes as new) it was going to be a legacy for my Grandson Niall. However, I realised, he’s football mad, unlikely to want to play bass in the foreseeable future. Now we have this Covid crap, his Mum my daughter has been on furlough for a while. I’m thinkin’ they could use the money never mind the bass..... So that’s the reason for this potential sale. I’m just playin’ fivers, regressed to 34” scale recentl, realistically, I’m not going to be playing this wonderful piece of workmanship again. Buy it. When they was twins, the Fretless was an ‘89 sold a couple of years ago. More snaps to follow, you get the picture (ha) This is the bass for Sale, Fretted, ‘88 Thumb 4 String So there’s the tale, no trades, no part trades, just sale. Thanks for looking, more snaps to follow. THE MORE SNAPS Edited February 14, 2021 by Oldman 11

Andrewsl76 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I’m interested. Can we discuss over PM? Sorry but I’m new to this forum and so not entirely sure of etiquette re sales! Cheers, Andrew.
Bunion Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Thank god for that, I was “havering” too... 1
