giblett123 Posted September 2, 2009 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 Posted September 2, 2009 I'd buy that in a blink of a eye if I had the money.

vmaxblues Posted September 2, 2009 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!

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?
