giblett123 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone, here we have the latest in my bass clear out, a really nice playing 4 string pre-production prototype Zoot. The bass has been heavily modified over the years & I believe only the body is completely original. Its fitted with EMG pups (passive, there is an active circuit which has been bypassed by a previous owner), maple neck with rosewood board & dot inlays. I'm not sure how old it is but will probably have been built somewhere in the 1990's? Condition wise there are some dings & scratches on the body as you would expect with a bass this age but nothing too serious & the neck (not the original) but is good quality & has been been refretted by the previous owner, the hardware has also been replaced at some point. It comes fitted with new Daddario strings & a hard case. Pricing it at £199 for a v quick sale. Cheers for looking Chris. PS more pics/info available on request.

Geddys nose Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'd buy that in a blink of a eye if I had the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmaxblues Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 This is one of my old basses and is a superb instrument to play, the neck was refretted by a great luthier and plays like butter (!) At that price, this bass is an absolute steal, someone buy this before I have it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too bad thanks. Loving the Status and everything was going well until my playing activities came to a grinding halt a couple of weeks ago after a pretty nasty health scare. On the road to recovery and new challenges now though. Still enjoying the GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
