I bought this a couple years ago from @KingPrawn of this parish, as my first venture into 5-string territory. I gigged it 2 or 3 times, but it never quite sat right in the mix of my band - so I ended up buying a Sire 5-string P bass, which fits much better. It has since been sitting on a stand in my room getting played only very rarely. I'd now like the floor space back, so time to move it on.

There's hardly a mark on it. A very slight scuff on the scratch plate and a little bit of "buckle polishing" of the satin finish on the back. No dents that I could find.

I'm looking for £325. I'd prefer meet up, try out, cash on collection; but we could discuss delivery if needs be.
