marauder Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Looking for £700 for this. I would prefer personal collection on this. I'm in West Yorkshire. It's in near mint condition, just a couple of tiny dings to the top surface of the body, and a mark on the back which is under the finish, so a factory flaw. Finish is Shoreline Gold, but its very light, and not very gold at all. Comes with Fender hard case, in very good condition, just a few nicks. Possibly the most versatile Jazz bass Fender ever made. Let me know if you want more pics. Here's the factory spec. Roscoe Beck V (5-String) BODY: Special Design "Modern-Vintage" Select Alder Body COLOURS: 3-Color Sunburst, Candy Apple Red, Shoreline Gold, Teal Green Metallic (Polyurethane Finish) NECK: Maple, Asymmetrical Oval Shape (Gloss Polyurethane Finish) MACHINE HEADS: Hipshot Ultralite Tuning Machines FINGERBOARD: Pao Ferro or Maple (9.5" Radius) NO.

risingson Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oh my god, why couldn't this have come up in a month's time when I had the cash, this is EXACTLY what I'm looking for! Best of luck with the sale, that's an incredible bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Very nice! I have two of these basses and they are just fantastic! Got to say that this is a great looking example of an RBV at a very good price too, so I'll be surprised if it hangs around long. Good luck with the sale..

marauder Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Bass has been provisionally sold. I'll inform interested parties if the deal doesn't go through. I don't want to start a bidding war, so the first person who contacted me gets first refusal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Cor that didn't hang around long, although at that very reasonable price I'm not surprised. I didn't even have time to get the Mrs on board so I could enter the fray There was also one that went on Ebay yesterday in sunburst. Typical nothing for sale for ages and then 2 come along together.
