karlfer Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Hi folks. Last week I spent £220 on this Explorer Bass. I had the Gibson version for a lot of years and loved it. To me it sounded better and was more balanced than a T-BIRD, yet always looked just as rock. A real "put in the groin and head down" kinda bass. Need to move it on very quickly as a bass chatter has put something up that is on my very long time need list. The Explorer needs to help fund it. So come on you young bucks/buckesses, you know you want to look this cool. It was made in the UNSUNG factory in Korea in 2003. Few nicks on headstock/body and some buckle rash. Not perfect but nothing unusual, it's been gigged. 3 way pick up selector, volume/volume/tone controls. Always liked the brass nut on my Gibbo. Hopefully pictures will come up. £160 cash, pick up obviously preffered but I will deliver to you free within 50 miles of Wigan, otherwise probably about £20/£25 to parcel force it. The above price reflects the need to move it quickly so I can get the other one I am desperate for. If it doesnt go quickly, I will keep and add some black covered strings, black rotaries and black scratchplate so it will be a bit, er, black. Cheers Karl. Oh by the way, you can check my limited evil bay feedback, it's Karl5066. Edited December 13, 2009 by karlfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Very kind Adee, I have dropped him a note. He only lives about 20 miles from me so if he's not sorted we may be able to do something. Many thanks, Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Er, I think I put £160, and Notts? I would meet you say Buxton, with no extra charge. No hurry, coz the one I was after has gone anyway. These can actually be had new for £279, plus extortionate delivery, from Thomann. Thanks for looking and lusting and good luck, Karl.

karlfer Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 So a bloke arranges, through pre loved to come and see this tonight. I explain to a fellow basschatter and as ever, brilliant about it. Mr t£!$ from preloved has just rang to say he isn't coming now. Oh well at least he rang. Bump then.
