Yes, still available Gasman. Cheers Graham

I see that chip pic didn't make the gig!

PS, the two spare scratch plates shown are to fit the original pickups - if you are able to source one.

Hi Jimi, Only the bridge cover is available, as shown in one of the pics.

Purchased by me in 1972 from Sound City, Shaftesbury Avenue and extensively used throughout the 70's and 80's until GAS took hold! It has been refinished many times since the blue sparkle finish seen in the Fender catalogue. The current finish looks OK but isn't great, with a few marks and a chip near the jack insert. The original pick up was soon added to with a John Birch steel guitar near the bridge, which sounded great. The feint outline of this pickup is still visible. This was replaced by the Bartolini MM pickup at the bridge by Mansons of Exeter. The original Fender pickup was then outed in favour of the Bartolini PB pickup installed by The Bass Gallery - the battery is for this pickup. Currently the bass sounds better than it ever has. Original reverse thread tuners. 34" scale. Truss rod works. Hardly any fret wear. Around 4.3 kilos. Bit of neck dive. Strung BEADG instead of EADGC. Original bridge. 15 frets only. I've loads of photos which I may have to post separately. The case is a fairly cheap TGI one in good condition. A bit difficult (for me anyway) to access the higher frets due to a rather bulky neck pocket and the left over damage from a broken wrist. The buyer may like to restore this to its original specs, but I assure you the pickups now fitted sound infinitely better than the original one. Any questions please ask. The price is firm, and no exchanges thanks. I'm now 80 and certainly don't need any more basses! Meet up somewhere in the south is the preferred course of action

No, not yet sold.

Bump for the Sunday scrollers!

PS. Also comes with original toilet seat pick guard.

This is surely a bargain?

Hi Itu, Thanks for the comment, hope you're keeping well. It seems that the phantom paint chipper strikes again!!!

Final sale of my five stringers. Super bass, comfy to play and looks a stunner. 35" scale approx 4kilos 17.5mm spacing at bridge Fitted with straplocks Comes with Modulus case as shown Fingerboard fairly flat. Built in 1995 Notes:- Retro fitted with Bartolini passive soap bar pickup by Guitar Mania of Poole. The original EMG pickup and complete pre amp and wiring loom are also supplied to return the bass to factory specs. There is a 1mm deep chip in the outer neck finishing layer (which I didn't notice until after two years of ownership). See photos, it's at the first fret and is not felt whilst playing. I've had this bass for twelve years and the neck is as stable as you would expect it to be. Collection from Bournemouth or meet up within reasonable distance is preferable. No sound clips, sorry. Let me know if you need any further info. Cheers, Graham

Nice try! 😁😁

Just for info, this is a Bernie Goodfellow (GB Basses) case most likely. I have a GB Spitfire which came in one identical. Good cases.

Wonderful basses indeed. I think I sold you my one a few years back! Always regret selling it. GLWTS. Graham

Looking at the post dates, is this still available?
