A really fantastic looking bass - I'm not in a position to buy right now, but surely someone will snap this up soon??? Can't believe it's still here...

Many thanks Westie9... unfortunately it's still here! Nearly the weekend bump...

Trade options added...

The first two stacked controls are individual volumes for the two pickups, so they can be run individually or blended. The second two stacked controls are treble and bass cut/boost. The switch is preamp in/out. There's no passive tone control, but with the eq set flat, switching in the preamp makes no discernible difference to level or tone - it's really transparent. The more I describe this bass, the more I think I must be mad selling it! And yes Graham, the mods weren't cheap. I'm actually losing a bit overall selling at this price. I'll try and put up something on YouTube so you can hear what it sounds like. Dave

[quote name='danweb22' timestamp='1347278023' post='1798674'] Think I am going to keep this now and sell my Fender Precision instead!

I acquired one of these very basses in Tobacco Sunburst a few months ago from another BC'er, and it's a fabulous instrument. My first 'decent' bass which I bought second hand in 1981 was a pre-Ernie Ball Stingray, which I foolishly sold some years later when in dire financial straits. The Classic is so reminiscent of it - the lacquered neck, through stringing, slab body, string dampers are all great, but more importantly, for me it has that elusive juiciness that most SR5's seem to lack, and I've owned a few. Playing my Classic is like snogging an old girlfriend... I can't recommend it highly enough - if it appeals to you on any level, BUY IT. You will not be disappointed!

Thanks for your kind words, gents! It makes me wonder if I'm being too hasty putting it up for sale...

For sale is a bass I've hardly used in the last 10 years, but I've been unwilling to part with. The sad fact is I don't play it, and to be honest I wasn't much good on fretless when I did! I bought it from Paul Turner (Jamiroquai etc) with a lined neck, which I changed for a plain fingerboard, I used it on a couple of tours, and it's been in its case pretty much ever since. Not sure how to date it precisely, but it's likely mid-90's, and the serial number is 538xx. It's in excellent condition, with only two tiny marks - one surface mark on the underside, and a dink on the back of the lower horn, shown in the photos. There's also very slight marking on the fingerboard, again show in the pics. Paul told me he had used it on a Take That album, but hopefully that won't lower the price any! It comes with a Musicman fitted case in good condition, just a little dusty on the outside from storage in the spare room, but I'll give it a clean... Trade options are fairly limited - fretted Stingray 5's or Lakland 5's, basically! I'll also consider 35" scale 5's as a straight swap or with cash my way. What have you got? The sale price is [s]£950[/s] £900 plus shipping, or can be collected from near junction 10 of the M25. Dave NOW TRADED FOR AN ALMOST IDENTICAL FRETTED ONE - THANKS !

Definitely for sale bump....
