This is a Burns "limited edition" John Rostill Shadows Bass, 1964 reissue from the late 2000's. It has a white polyester finish, alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. Full 33.5 inch scale. It plays well and sounds great and gets good positive comments when used.
A Fantastic instrument for a retro or modern band. It is currently strung with rounds but a set of flats will go with it. It is a very usable instrument with plenty of tonal options
The Shadows bass (and Burns guitars) are collectable and are not currently being made so this is a rare chance to get one of these at this price.
Condition report: This bass is well used and has numerous small marks from normal use and a lacquer crack near the neck joint (pictured) although well used the condition is still very good. There is one tuner key missing. The mechanism can still be tuned by using one of the other "push on" tuning keys Note: As Burns are not trading at the moment I have been unable to get a replacement key but I see that they plan to begin trading again soon..
It comes with original Burns imitation alligator/wooden construction hard shell case, which is a bit tatty, but still in one piece.
No trades sorry
Pics to follow tomorrow when I have proper daylight
