EssentialTension Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 [quote name='GreeneKing' post='688470' date='Dec 18 2009, 03:45 PM']With a retail of over £1600 and a lowest price of over £1300 this happens to be the bargain of the month. Well underpriced imo. Folk don't seem to appreciate this [/quote] I appreciate it but no cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny B Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I also appreciate it, but can only offer you a Musicman 5 (which doesn't help the credit card but may help your collection ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle enough with 4 bloody strings, without adding an extra one Cheers Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredders Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Had a few PMs today on this, so to answer the questions I've been asked: - 1. The bass is pretty light - from my crude "balance it on the bathroom scales" method, it weighs just under 8lbs, so lighter than my Stingray and quite a bit lighter than my '76 P bass. 2. I don't have the original (crappy) Fender retro case, as I opted to buy a flightcase at the time I bought the bass, to protect it in transit. I'm keeping the flightcase, as per my earlier posts. 3. The bass comes with both ashtrays (bridge and pickup covers). 4. As standard, the pickup cover holes are pre-drilled, but the bridge ones aren't. I had my guitar tech drill the holes for the bridge cover, which he's done. He even stained the holes to match the paintwork, so they blend in if you remove the bridge cover. 5. The bass came with the retro Fender strap, the retro lead, 2 spare screws for the covers, and all of the following documents: Lacquer finishes: Precautions and Care, original hang tag (with inspection info & serial number on), red Lacquer warning tag, Warranty tag, Fender 'Thank You' tag, Fender Owner's Registration card (blank), and Owner's Manual. 6. The serial number is V179*** (PM me if you need the rest) 7. It has TI flats on it, and was professionally setup about 6 weeks ago. 8. Everything's original and untouched (it's months old!). The only difference from when it left the factory is the bridge cover now has holes. Oh, and it's now been setup properly!!! 9. I won't ship abroad - apologies if this upsets anyone, but (1) I've had one bass trashed in transit a couple of years ago, and (2) it's too much hassle and risk. I'd really prefer a meetup to do the deal anyway. I think that's about it, but feel free to ask any other questions. I've been playing the bass over the last month or so (only limited home use - it's never left the house), and love it, so I really don't mind either way if this sells or not. Having said that, my credit card would probably breathe a sigh of relief if someone does buy it... Cheers Mark.

tredders Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Well, someone is traveling all the way from Preston tomorrow to come and see this, so it looks very much like it might be sold. I'll update the thread tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
