Bought on NYE so just 3 months old, comes with the nice gig bag and all tags/tools present.

 

Home use and 2 rehearsals only. Bought as an experiment to see if I can get on with 5 string Fendery type things. I can't but it's a bloody lovely bass nonetheless. 

 

Spec wise it's a bit of a mongrel. Precision body (so smaller than a jazz) but jazzy electronics. 2 active single coil MarkBass pickups wired Volume, Volume and Passive Tone. 3 band active MarkBass EQ and the passive EQ works with this too. Pull the tone control to switch to passive mode. Does P bass sounds and lovely burpy J bass stuff. It's a very resonant bass and sounds huge.

 

Alder body, vintage maple tinted neck and board. Binding and block inlays. The neck is gloss but totally non sticky. Feels great.

 

Weight is 4kg/8.6lbs on the luggage scales so it's pretty light. 

 

Collection preferred from near Harlow, Essex although I do travel around the SE of England and I'll be in the Midlands later this week for work if anyone wanted to meet up. I have the shipping box so can post but at your arrangement and risk.
