tubbybloke68 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 hi folks,since getting my stanley clarke deluxe i've found im not using this bass much these days.its a lovely guitar but i find the 34" neck just too much of a reach for me and after a 2 hour gig it just kills my neck and shoulders.ive had this bass for about 6 years now.it is a quilted maple front wood but not back wood.there is a small hair line crack on the topside of the neck between the nut and the first fret.the previous owner told me he had had it checked out and that his luither had confirmed that a proffessional repair had been done at some stage.i have no reason to disbelieve him as in 6 years of owning this bass the intonation/playabillity of the neck is in my veiw fine.just wanted to be up front and honest about things from the start.other than that the condition is very very good.one small ding to the front ,one to the back and thats about it really.obviously the hair line crack is gonna affect the asking price so im putting this up for £1750 quid .you wont find one of these cheaper than that.i havent posted any pictures of it because i strongly reccomend coming to veiw and play it if you are interested.i havent put this bass on ebay yet,but may do soon.im based in horsham ,west sussex.i do mostly night work so daytime viewing would be easier for me.regards jeff.07747690241 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbybloke68 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 hi there,yeah i will try to get some pics up soon if i can.its a year 2000 model so it has the slightly longer top horn(hence the serial no starting 00.i forgot to say that the crack is in my opinion is only a surface blemish.i certainly dont think it goes deep into the wood so to speak.best regards,jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've vaguely had my eyes open for one of the much longer top horn ones, I think Alembic call them 'balanced'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
