Bit of a bargain and it comes with the case. AND I reckon if you made an offer of £175-£180 he'd take it. Quote

Weirdly enough I was the person on TB who pointed out to Rob that these were Corts - I pointed him towards your site and Bassassin's posts about his. Quote

Great feel, nice neck, punchy sound - I have three of them, did an outdoor thing at the weekend with mine (identical to the one listed) everyone one said what a great sound it was. Not much money for a Very Nice bass. Quote

pete.young Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Bass Collection SB315 with dead front pickup http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Collection-SGC-5-string-active-bass-/290746793682?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item43b1dbfed2 This probably isn't the pickup - I think it's more likely to be the electronics. An Artec SE2A or 3A is eminently fittable, I put a 3A in my SB465. Quote

Also looks like a European distributor's case not an original for that date. And although I agree with the seller, that the 900, and also the R150, are the ultimate versions of the SB design, these aren't as rare as is being suggested. The ones to collect? A '78 with the PowerPlus pickup, or an '81 in tobaccoburst. Now, those are rare. Edited July 23, 2012 by noelk27 Quote
