I bought this during a business trip to the US late last year. One of those "seemed like a good idea at the time" impulse buys. Apart from getting it out of the (nice, fittted, extra cost!) hard case for about an hour, I've really never used this.

It's a US-only model, but I've seen a couple of UK retailers advertising them as "1 of only 100 in the UK", so I guess they might be filtering through to the UK.

I paid $429 plus $130 for the case at a time of really crappy exchange rates, typically.

I'm asking £249 plus £20 towards courier costs for this. Or, if you're in the Warwick / Solihull / Farnborough area, we can probably meet up FOC.

Pics are now in post 10 below!

On the trade front, try me with anything remotely musical (or even, non musical!).

Cheers

Mark.

[quote name='richardrickenbacker' post='554951' date='Jul 29 2009, 11:52 AM']Is the icon series the american name for contemporary in the UK??[/quote]

When I bought it in the States, the chap told me that the Icon was the US equivalent of the Contemporary.... Not sure if that was salesman talk, but from playing a Contemporary in a music shop in the UK, they looked and played identically....

A few links that might be of interest: -

[quote name='richardrickenbacker' post='558751' date='Aug 2 2009, 09:23 PM']Let's have a look at the pics of the bass and case then![/quote]

Here you go - excuse the crappy pics. I'll throw in all the dust you see in the pics for free, and yes, I know the table and bench need re-varnishing. The missus reminds me every weekend :)

As you can see, it's absolutely as new. In fact, I just peeled off the plastic coating on the pickups. If I don't get my asking price for this (or a decent trade, and I'm happy to trade up with me adding cash for the right bass/amp/fx unit). I'll keep it and stick some flats on it.

Any other questions, let me know.

Cheers

Mark.
