Burns-bass Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) This is a classic “pie crust” SB 50 in honest original condition. These are exceptionally rare in the U.K. As you can see, this is in used condition and has some honest wear. I bought his from Ash and while there is a laquer crack in the neck pocket thankfully this isn’t structural. Loads of life left in the frets. Truss rod is fine and the bass is set up nicely. However there’s a crackle when it’s plugged in. I was going to get this sorted by the luthier I normally go to, but I don’t have the time. It’s likely to be a dry joint or maybe even a bit of switch cleaner. Still, I can’t be sure. Im looking for £300 £285. If it doesn’t sell I’ll get it set up and sorted (and knowing me, will keep it!). Bass is in Bristol and would be preferred to collect/meet up.

Burns-bass Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 I've just spent lots of money on a vintage guitar, so I would like to sell this. Thankfully I now have a huge padded box, so can post... Any interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 I've now reduced this to £285, which is well good. I just need it gone as I've spent *cough* Lots on a new guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
