vinorange Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 If you wait long enough it'll be free as it's been reduced from £899 to £499 then to £375. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knobs Strings are original and may need upgrading. Rob 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 And what price would it command if it were an actual original '66 slab in actual original pink finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, I would assume a lot more than I could ever afford. Though I do quite fancy one in pink. I like the colour and if it was £150 I might well buy it.

NikNik Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Gone! I actually rather liked it. But not at the price asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuff69 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 This was actually my bass that I built from a guitarbuild.co.uk body and a northwest guitars neck,I sold it about 3 years to an American student in Liverpool,I just bought it back for £150 last night and picked it up this morning,it’s a bit of a reclamation project,the neck is like a banana and the fretboard is detached ,but with a bit of TCL I’ll have up and running,and fir £150 I can’t grumble to much,I think I payed £50 for the wizard thumper pick ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwillett Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 So £899 down to £150? That's a good deal and I'd have paid that as well. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Glad you got a bargain but that neck/board joint fail looks awful, I've not seen anything that bad before even on some quite badly neglected/mistreated instruments, doesn't say a lot for Northwest Guitars?

Beedster Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hard to tell from the photo but also looks like they might be separating around 7th-9th fret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuff69 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 It looks like it had been left with full tension on strings in a shed for a few years,I’ll re glue the fret board tonight and see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwillett Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Did this ever get fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
