70s Classics are Mexican, not US made. By all accounts great basses through

Cheers, i may have to try this shop out in Brum soon.

I'd phone them up first to see if they carry stock.

Check out the Reviews and Bass Guitars forums (fora?) as I am pretty certain there have been positive comments about these basses by BC'ers; just to be clear, I've never played one!

I played one of these just before Christmas and loved it. I'd shop around though as there's a few places online selling them for £499-519

Ok cheers guys, £500 with a case would be a good deal.

If it's any help at all I have played a couple of these and they are really good basses, a real step up from the normal Mexican made stuff. The ones I played were very well built and had a real nice feel and were really not far of a Geddy Lee the shop had in which was a couple of hundred pound more new.

Like any Fender (well any bass for that matter) pick carefully, Fender particulalrly can sometimes be inconsistant, I have played some stunners and some real dogs in the past, so try find somehwere with a few in stock and pick the best.

I dont think you will go wrong with on though and good for modding

Price includes shipping, that's a bargain
