If you've had it from new can you not take it back under the 14 days 'i changed my mind' rules?

[s]This is just a feeler at the mo as I need to raise some cash to pay a bill (same old story all over at the mo innit!)...I'm hoping my Geddy fretless will sell instead so I can keep this but... My sunburst 2008 Fender Highway One P-bass, the one with the Badass II bridge, and greasebucket circuitry (when you roll the tone back it just takes the treble out and doesn't wool everything up - very consistent sounding!) I got this very recently on a trade and it's really nice to play, the neck has played in perfectly and feels just right under the hand now! [media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157632567031551/[/media] Since it's arrival I've given it a damn good clean, lemon-oiled the fingerboard and removed loads of old finger scuzz from it...I've also added a tort scratchplate (the original off-white one is also included) and a set of Lakland Joe Osborn flats...it now plays and feels lovely! condition is really good, there are a couple of very minor dings just above the bridge (see photos) and a small area where the finish has simply eroded on the bottom edge (see photos), there's no bash here it's smooth so I can only presume it's worn away...that's the beauty of the thin skin nitro finish, this bass will relic itself as you play it! It comes in the gig-bag that it was delivered in, a suitable weather cover but not massively protective. I can ship if needed and do have sufficient cardboard and bubble wrap to see it safely to somewhere in the UK. numbers time...£400 collected or I'll ship (uk only) at buyers cost.[/s]

Niiiiiice!!!

Nice!!!

In the original threads about these (back end of 2011) the following was said by the chappie from Bassgear: This is a luthier-made bass for the street price of a US Fender!!! Spacing is 100mm between the centre of each pup to the next. Colour, Amber Tiger (2011) I understand they were about £900 new so this is a superb price!

I can't believe the MIM ones are £900 new! That's ridiculous!! That said, this is a great price compared to the new price!! Not sure how these MIM ones compare with the MIJ but the MIJ are stunning so I reckon these must be pretty special too!

[/quote] Having been in trade discussions with Liam, yes he was going to courier it to me, I've had to back out due to a car insurance bill arriving, I can confirm he's a total gent and really speedy on replying to pm's! Whoever gets this will be getting a piece of Shuker history and a truly gorgeous bass!

very lovely indeed! The angle of the a string as it passes over the nut looks quite extreme, I'm sure it's fine but it 'looks' harsh in the pic

[quote name='StuartB' timestamp='1358867718' post='1946280'] That's one... [/quote] tru-dat! very nice though! I wonder if he'll mention how much they might be when they both appear on here?

Hiya, would you consider a trade with cash adjustment for a fender highway one p?

[quote name='Johngh' timestamp='1358537520' post='1941198'] Chardbass got it. He'll be very pleased with it methinks [/quote] Lucky man! I know this is a good one cos it was I who first opened the box when it arrived from lakland usa! It's a joy to play and sounds superb! I only sold it to make way for my acg 6 string arriving or I'd have kept it!

Glad it sold for ya matey, who got it?

I'd say it's defo a series 1, price looks spot on to me for one of them, some folks prefer the series 1 to series 2 as well. Good luck matey!

a beautiful piece of work! wish I had £1k...
