Alfie Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) I have been a bit too generous for my wife's christmas present, so I need to find a bit of money from somewhere and unfortunately that means selling this bass. This is a SX Vintage Series Precision Bass in Metallic Silver, bought two years ago from Rondo Music in the US. I decided I wanted a blue pickguard so I fashioned one out of car decal vinyl and slapped it over the original. I can leave this on or take it off, it's up to you. I bought this because I fancied a big ol' P Bass with a chunky neck and big sound to use at band practice. What I got was a surprisingly playable little beast and I have ended up using it far more than either my Fender P Bass Lyte or my Waterstone Indra. So I will be sorry to see it go, but needs must. Pick up from me in Chipping Norton, or I can drop it in Oxford, perhaps in London too. £90 [attachment=38057:DSC_2892.JPG][attachment=38058:DSC_2895.JPG][attachment=38059:DSC_2898.JPG] Edited January 16, 2010 by Alfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it sound?[/quote] I'm not a tone connoisseur I'm afraid, so I would say it sounds like a bass. One thing I would say is that the pickups are fairly quiet, but then again the only things I had to compare it with were an active Fender and a Squier with Wizard Thumper pickups. Playing with a small clean boost pedal gave me a nice punchy sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I will be in South West London over Christmas, so collection is available from there as well. I will probably be in Bolton between Christmas and New Year, so even more collection options are available. In fact, as I will be driving from Bolton to Oxfordshire, if you live somewhere on the M6/M5/A44 or M6/M40 routes then I can easily drop it off.

Alfie Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 I have decided to remove the blue pickguard cover. So here it is, now in its original white. Available for collection from West Oxfordshire, Oxford or London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I still need to find a good home for the SX, tis a lovely bass to play, great for grooving. It also has the old-school SX headstock that is no longer in production. Go on, send me an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
