[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1345320268' post='1776333'] I am a gimp at packing... i'd rather pay more to have it done properly lol... but at least never any worry [/quote]

[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1345319734' post='1776326'] sadly, I think only major companies should be used when shipping : DHL / UPS / FEDEX ... with those 3 you are sorted for I am gonna guess about 99,99% of hearth! so [/quote] Agreed - I've also used Parcelforce 24/worldwide and have had no problems provided you use a case and pack very well. They are more expensive but what price peace of mind?

I had a turntable delivered yesterday by Yodel - its a write off and it had been packed really well! They must have been playing football with it in the warehouse. I'd personally never use them but people do try to cut corners by using these amateurish companies. Avoid!

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1345236354' post='1775511'] just sell all that other junk in your sig to get it! [/quote] Ha! Ha! Yes that's right although you have to keep your JV Jazz unless you want to swap for this .

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1345112145' post='1773591'] If I was in Lancaster it would be buy first, ask if I can afford it later! As it is, geography has saved me. [/quote] Shame on geography!

Ah Burnley my old stomping ground - shame they closed down the Carlton I saw this on eBay, is that where you got it from? I remember it as the 'Nigel' name amused me! Is it playable, neck OK, etc. the bridge is certainly not placed correctly. What's the tone/volume like? Never used a full sized bass so curious as to how it would project compared to a 3/4 but I guess you wouldn't know if you've never played on.

Bump

Where are you based?

Please tell me it's not the solid state version?

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1345058678' post='1773057'] Struggling to find 400quid myself and I'm In lancaster on Saturday. Doh!!@ [/quote] The trouble is if you come and try it you'll certainly want to take it away with you! PM me if you do fancy popping round to try it out

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1345054170' post='1772987'] currently in a dilema over this [/quote] Likewise when I decided to sell it!

Yep sorry

It's gone mate sorry too late!

In answer to a few questions I would consider posting overseas however I'd prefer the courier to be organised by the buyer in this case.

[quote name='kurcatovium' timestamp='1344974975' post='1771975'] Any trades or sale only? [/quote] Only looking for sales at the moment I'm afraid.

I bought this from EBay as an experiment to see if I could get on with a 6 string bass - I can't so its up for sale! Well despite it being a lovely bass and very easy to play I've decided it's not for me. The bass has a string spacing of just over 16mm at the bridge, 34" scale with a superb flat profiled Status graphite reinforced neck. The action is very low and the bass plays nice and easy up and down the scale. Pickups are Status soap bars and it's an active bass with a wide range of tones and great punch and clarity. The bass comes with a spare set of brand new Rotosounds and an old case. The bass has some cosmetic issues - it has been resprayed in black 'textured' paint a bit like Hammerite. It's not horrible and has been done reasonably well, but it's not perfect either. Secondly the soap bar covers have some surface wear and cracks which have been repaired; again only a cosmetic issue. There is a ding on the very top of the headstock, no other issues everything works properly, very little fret wear, truss rod turns, etc. The cosmetic issues are reflected in the price. £360 posted UK £345 picked up in person. Thanks.
