Terry M. Posted May 7, 2024 Posted May 7, 2024 I would have pounced on this like a hungry lion had it been the 5 string version.

Same colour scheme as this 4 string 704. The listing you quoted is for a 605(60s) but appreciate this all the same ☺️

I had the 5 string version of this model about 15 years ago, bought direct from Bernie Goodfellow.. I can still remember him fitting the Aguilar pre in it and setting it up for me. It had a great sound - very Marcus Miller in some respects, but it was good for lots of different styles of music. IIRC, I only sold it to upgrade to a Fender Roscoe Beck V. This looks like an absolute bargain to me btw, and Jay's a great person to deal with! GLWTS 👍😊 1

I couldn't walk away from that so for now I have a 5 string "jazz" bass. Appreciate the heads up regardless ☺️👍 1
AndyTravis Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 Damn… Looks at stuff to sell… want that sound on occasion and don’t want to spend another £1200 on a miller 1
Oliver Morgan Posted May 24, 2024 Posted May 24, 2024 Hi Jay-syncro, Would you consider shipping to London at my cost? Thanks, Oliver

Thanks, Oliver Hi Oliver, It's not ideal as I don't currently have any packing and the bass doesn't have a case. If you're in London jump on an off-peak train to Margate and I'll meet you at the station 👍

What's not to like about that 🤔 Hurry up or I'll buy it 1 1

jay-syncro Posted June 19, 2024 Author Posted June 19, 2024 (edited) I can now include an old but useable Rockcase if postage is required. Edited June 21, 2024 by jay-syncro
