Stunning! This bass makes me want to take up playing 5 strings! Best of luck with the sale.

That's correct. My own bass is early to mid 1974, and it has a 4 bolt neck, and they bought out the 3 bolt neck, bullet truss rod jobbie from mid to late 1974. It's also very common for Fender to use old parts off the shelf. This particular bass for sale has a 1973 neck plate, long G screw (like mine has). So assuming the parts are original I would say this bass was put together in late 1974 IMO. GLWTS

Yes I know! This bass used to have chrome hardware on it. I wouldn't at all be surprised if this wasn't the same bass.

I was considering one of these some time ago. It was the exact same colour as this one and belonged to Mervyn "Spam" Spence who used to play in Trapeze/Wishbone Ash for a time. He bought it off a fella desperate for the cash and sold it back to him later for way more. He had already sold it by the time I messaged him so i missed out. It's the only one i've seen until now in this colour. His was original, the same colour as this one but it had chrome tuners and chrome bridge.

This bass is now SOLD. Thank you Basschat and many thanks to Phil for buying it. I hope you enjoy the bass as much as I have. Tony.

And I probably wouldn't have bought it.....

See, I told you it might still be here! It seems a lot of folk are skint, broke after Xmas, wanna trade or P/X, or worried about Brexit or something. I'm really surprised it is still here though TBH.

Different sound though, horses for courses.

It's still here at the moment and you are welcome to come and try it if you like.

I could do with shifting this bass on now so here's £100 off from £1500 to £1400 plus i'll throw in free UK delivery (elsewhere at cost). I've also added a video of me playing this bass to the listing. It's not perfect but it gives you some idea (excuse the shorts ha ha).

Bump

Weekend bump

All PM's replied to, and still up for sale at the moment.

I'm shocked that this bass has not yet been sold kinda bump! Actually i've had a couple of P/X offers (not on Basschat) but I don't really need another bass.

Still for sale at the moment bump.

Awesome vintage Gibson bass bumperooony

Yes indeed they did long scale. EB3L shipping figures peaked in 1973. Thank you, it really is a lovely bass, someone is going to be delighted with it. It's a pity i'm not using it more.

A still for sale kinda 1st bump on this awesome vintage beauty.

Thank you. Lot's of interest but still for sale.

Well you never know, it could still be here by then. 🙄

You need this bass!
