SirCanealot Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Tried listening this on a few places. Really want to get rid of it at the moment due to below reasons, so thought I'd try on here Selling my Musicman Bongo with Peizo Bridge. Also comes with original Musicman Hardcase! Two reasons I’m selling this baby: A: Not really feeling it any more. Want to try out something new! (have a nice PJ right now, so I'm thinking of looking for a nice Jazz ) B: Long term unemployed due to bad health, so the sale funds are going towards getting a decent replacement, and paying off some bills! I’m not the original owner, and unfortunately I’ve managed to add a few dents and marks to the body and the neck over my 2 years of ownership, which I’ve tried to take good pictures of. I also managed to bend the tuner for the G string somehow, which I’ve also included a picture of. Playing wise, this bass is in good condition with no problems. Frets are fine, and pre-amp and pickups work perfectly. This is a FANTASTIC bass, and if I didn’t need the money right now, I’d put it somewhere and keep it until I fancied playing it again. But I don’t have the money right now, so I’m hoping to find a good home for it! I don’t think I need to talk much about the Bongo’s sound as it is well documented here, but look up reviews if you need to. But here's a recording of my old band, which I mostly used my Bongo with: (just a mono recording into my mp3, but it’s not too bad) [url="http://www.4shared.com/dir/20493023/ed58ab5d/PS_17-10-09.html"]http://www.4shared.com/dir/20493023/ed58ab...S_17-10-09.html[/url] I live in North-West London, and I’m more than happy to meet you anywhere around London. Obviously, if you’re from Europe or elsewhere, ask me, and I can calculate shipping for you! It will probably be around £25-40 to ship to England or Europe though. Looking to open up offers at £900 (around 1080 EUR) (retails for around £1400-1500!). However, want to sell this thing, so serious offers WILL be considered!

warwickhunt Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 How'd you manage to bend a tuner... without doing other neck/headstock damage!

[/quote] I seriously have no idea!!! I made about a million 0_o faces when I noticed and looked at bending it back, realised this was unlikely without cause further damage, and then left it as it was. As I said, the tuner seems fine, just it's slightly bent. I mean, the tuners are CHUNKY too. The only way I could do this on purpose would be to grip it in some sort of clamp and bend it (the metal isn't that thick, it could be done if I really wanted to enough) Then again, I have no idea how I've done any of the damage to this bass. I'm a bit of a clutter monster, so I suppose it just takes bashes here and then. And I didn't gig with the bass once (which was a real shame), but it was taken to rehearsal 1-2 times a week for over a year... If anyone wants more pictures of the headstock, however, let me know. It really is fine apart from the tuner!
SirCanealot Posted August 11, 2010 Author Posted August 11, 2010 Bump! Will anyone bite for around £825?
SirCanealot Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Bump! Seriously telling me nobody wants to even make an offer on this?!
