Great looking bass. I had to 1825(?) I think it was called. Are you interested in a trade? Cheers, Mike

I was only looking to sell this as something else had caught my eye, & I would need to generate some funds to go towards purchasing that. Feel free to pm me with what you were thinking of though.

Love the BTB basses, very under rated in my opinion, I think my wife would have a heart attack if I bought another home! GLWTS!

In action with this bass at a festival last summer. Thunderous & looked the bollox!

 

The current new equivalent of these basses are circa £1400 - £1500 now.…

Don’t want to miss out on what I’ve got my eye on, so price drop to what’s got to be bargain territory now? 

[glassmoon]

Hell's Teeth... That's a beautiful bass, that's for sure... GLWTS mate

[Wilco]

So what I was looking to buy has now unfortunately been sold.

 

I only really need one 5 string, so happy to also consider trades for a 4 string with me trading up. Have got some cash to add in to a possible deal.

 

I’d only be interested in active basses though, & I don’t like posting instruments so we’d have to meet up to exchange. Saying that, from Swindon an hours travel in any direction gets me quite far!

I am making an educated guess: these will be highly sought after when some star "finds" one. Quality, sound, what else you need?

(Oh yes, that star.)

[Wilco]

On hold.
