ezbass Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) The time has come to let my Victor Bailey Acoustic go to make way for a new purchase. I bought this new from The Bass Gallery last year to take away for an extended holiday in Italy. It is in exactly the same condition that I bought it, which includes the small knock you can see on the headstock (if only I'd seen this when I bought it, doh!). It comes in the specific padded Fender gigbag that it came with and because of this only pick up, or local handover is available. How much? In order to move this beauty I've lowered my expectations and will let it go for [b]£365[/b]. Full technical details are available [url="http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0953300221"]here[/url]. Edited January 11, 2010 by ezbass
spacecowboy Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 If i had just one reason why i may have needed this bass right now i would gladly have given this house room! Its gorgeous! Have a free bump.
ezbass Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 [quote name='mathewsanchez' post='643483' date='Nov 2 2009, 03:34 PM']Any chance of shipping it?[/quote] Given that it only comes in a padded gigbag and is an acoustic I think it wise not too, sorry.
Jamesemt Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 I think the problem is that it can't be safely shipped. I could have gone to about £400 but once I factor in my fuel (500 mile round trip) I could only offer £350 James

elom Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 I think that's probably the nicest looking acoustic I've ever seen. Damn, there are some fine basses up for sale on here at the moment!

This is something I considered originally, but I think it plays fine as is now and I do like a low action. I can give measurements if you like when I get home tomorrow.

Marcus Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 used to have one of these...... I gigged it a few times without any real feedback issues, action was sweet, I recorded a couple of acoustic demo's with it sounded great straight into the desk ! I do regret selling it sometimes..... ATB Mark
