Somebody asked about nut width… 41mm

 

Edit: Somebody asked about the weight:

7lb 4oz with bridge and pickup cover in place

6lb 15oz without

 

(1960s?) Shaftesbury Tele bass for sale – no trades, ta

 

Nice short scale thud from what the seller told me were the original strings. No way to check this obviously but he bought it new and couldn't remember ever buying strings!

 

The pickguard is cracked near the pickup and broken in three other places although I do have the two smaller bits that have broken off

 

The screws that hold the pickup cover currently screw into thin air so a dowel might be needed here or a bodge of some kind to get these screws into something
EDIT: pickup cover issue now repaired – screws now going into ash dowels

 

The neck is in good shape and the truss rod turns

 

Collection from Oxford preferable though could meet halfway if not too far –  courier option OK if buyer arranges – (UK sale only)

Nice! 
 

I love these, my first bass was one of them, it had ancient flatwound strings on it and was brilliant to play. Used it on a few records as well. Would have another if I found one in my country.
 

You should have no problem finding a buyer for it, GLWS 👍
