OutToPlayJazz Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Sorry you didn't find a place in your heart for this one, Owen. Someone's going to get a bargain here. These are really special basses with a truly massive sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanted to try one and desperately wanted to like it, but we were not destined to be together. I keep going back to my £180 MTD Kingston. It fits for now, so I figured "why fight it?"

Owen Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 To be fair to everyone, there are quite a few people sniffing around this. It will go the the first one to stump up the cash. I am not trying to put on a hard sell (hopefully my feedback will testify to this) but in this climate a sale is a sale. I hope everyone is cool with this.

OutToPlayJazz Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Congrats, Owen! I didn't even need to put Davide's pics on, either! In answer to the query, all the 5's are the mk II angular model with the extra controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
