Bass Collection Detroit Bass REDUCED - *SOLD* £325 Hereford

[vmaxblues]

Just to push this over the line, £300, or £325 delivered to mainland UK or I will keep it, because it is a lovely thing to have around!  (Looks on Amazon for another wall hanger!)
 

I got this recently in a trade, and it is spectacular, if you want the James Jamerson thing, this is it.  The neck is superb.  The colour sublime.  My problem is, is that it doesn't fit in with the music I am currently playing live.  It is in excellent condition, wearing Detroit flats (I have also got a brand new set of Detroit flats I will throw in).  It comes with it's original gig bag in good condition, also has it's original strap, which has some wear, but very little.

I was surprised by how nice these are, the fit and finish is really good, the playability is fantastic.

Oi! That's one of my lines, along with, "This new project needs a different kind of bass to any that I currently have,"

Ooo I'm tempted! Hereford is only up the road from me...

 

OP, have you moved the truss rod to check that it works? And I don't suppose you know the weight of the bass? 👍

[vmaxblues]

Hi,

 

No, haven’t touched the truss rod as the action is perfect.  It is basically as new, will have to check weight, but it isn’t a heavy bass.

 

Cheers

Really? That sounds deliciously violent.

One of your jobs as a parent is do things that make your children, especially daughters, roll their eyes. You’re not their friend, you’re their source of irritation, at least whilst they’re children. It’s all part of the fun, especially when you do it on purpose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be clear, I am joshing somewhat. I think I was always the fun dad (opinions may and probably do vary, especially with the ex) and I didn’t have to try at all to get my little girl (who is now over 40!) to like me.

Photos don’t do the colour justice, I would say a light metallic purple is a better description, and so much more manly!

It's a splendid colour! Only problem is that it would make it that much more difficult to sneak it home without the other half noticing a new bass! "This old thing?" 😅

You're welcome.   

[Marc S]

That really is a lovely colour! 

I'd be interested to know the weight too...

[vmaxblues]

I will check weight on the scales when I get home, but I know it doesn’t feel heavy.

[vmaxblues]

Just shy of 9.0lbs folks
