jsixties Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Bought past year from Bambibau, a well known italian dealer. Great looking and sounding bass in excellent condition (some belt wear on the back). All original, hard to find colour and model. No cracks, breaks or issues of any kind, just one of the most underrated and cool basses ever done. OHSC included. 200 pounds less of what I paid for: It's yours for 1145 pounds (bank wire only)+ shipping (about 50-55 pounds from Spain to UK with a traceable 4-5 days shipping service) [size=4][color="#FF0000"]Reduced price: 1130 + shipping.[/color][/size] No trades in this one please so I need the cash. [color="#FF0000"][size=6]SOLD IN SPAIN, THANK YOU.[/size][/color] Edited November 26, 2009 by jsixties
tredders Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 That's beautiful. I was going to ask what year it is, but can see '1966' on the case - is that right?
gary mac Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 i so wish I wasn't potless. Good luck with the sale
Hiperi0n Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Beautiful!!!...i also just got a Coronado II...good luck with the sale!!
tredders Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 [quote name='thedontcarebear' post='646328' date='Nov 5 2009, 03:36 PM']Says 68 on the neck.[/quote] Erm, yes. How did I miss that? :blush: And now I'm on a decent sized monitor, instead of my phone, it clearly doesn't say 1966 on the case, either. Anyway, beautiful bass. I'll get me coat now...
skankdelvar Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Sweet Mother of God, I love that bass. (Stands entranced) I remember when you couldn't give Coronados away. Why were we so stupid?

jsixties Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 Thanks Shaggy, this beauty is one of my favorites but I finally got a Pino P-Bass and currently my bank is after me.

jsixties Posted November 7, 2009 Author Posted November 7, 2009 Welcome to that Deaver, best luck with your sales.

Maybe even give the fretboard some little butterfly kisses and [b][font="Courier New"][color="#FF0000"]PROFANITY ALERT[/color][/font][/b] Of course, 20 years ago I'd not have had it for firewood. How time weighs upon the soul...
jsixties Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 Peter Tork from the Monkees? exactly. ^_^ Also Justin Meldal-Johnsen with Beck and Nine Inch Nails and countless 60's american west coast and r'n'b bands.
jsixties Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 Still available, a good friend of mine and guitar collector told me yesterday that this bass have one of the best Brazilian Rosewood fingerboards he ever saw. More details about tone & playability: The neck is is straight with a slim/medium round, very easy to play. Original frets in very good condition showing only minor wear not dents. The truss rod works perfect. This bass is superb and plays fantastic, extremely resonant with a very low weight.
spacecowboy Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 wow super old school! Fantastic condition too! Good Luck!
