    Moving this on as it was a back up bass that never got used. In overall good condition with the usual scuffs(the worst pictured near the controls) One of the controls is slightly different in appearance as it was missing one when I bought it. Sounds great with Wilko pick up, really beefy bass sound. Gumph below:

    [*]Fingerboard: Maple
    [*]Scale: 34"/864mm
    [*]Frets: 21
    [*]Neck Inlays: Black Dot
    [*]Tuners: Wilkinson® WJBL175
    [*]Bridge: Adjustable
    [*]Pickups: Wilkinson® Double Coil x 1 WSM4

    [/list]
    [b]EST96 Pick Up[/b]
    The substantial-looking Wilkinson® WSM4 bass guitar pickup offers equally substantial bass sounds. Large diameter polepieces arranged in humcancelling double coil format offer the bassist a meaty range of solid bass tones.

    I'm based in Leicester for anyone wishing to try before they buy or for collection, cheers

    Similar-ish story here - I was looking at things at that sort of price point a while back, and after trying several MIM Fenders in a couple of different shops I just couldn't convince myself that I'd be spending my money wisely.

    Ended up taking a punt on a used Tanglewater Classic J from here (at half the price) which I'm very very pleased with.

    That's what I swapped it for! Lovely sounding bass.

    I bought a white P bass from a shop that I shall not name! and it was THE worst bass I've owned. It felt very cheap, factory set up was awful, frets were poor and rough at the ends and overall for £493 it was a bad investment. It didn't come with a fender bag, the shop gave me a cheap shoddy bag when I asked where the Fender bag was that was supposed to come with it. I had it overnight and took it back the next day and exchanged it for a different bass altogether.

    Just bought a squier vm precision tb off Tom. Absolutely gorgeous bass, superb comms, lightning fast courier delivery, well packaged. All transactions should be like this ;) top chap, deal with absolute confidence.

    Cheers Tom

    I had a black Epiphone bass version back around 2004. Looked the part but really weak sounding pickups. If I owned it now I'd definitely be looking to beef up the sound

    I'd read that about the Epiphone, that's the bass that I was tempted to buy.

    Have been toying with getting a Flying V bass for a bit o' fun for a rock covers band and wondered if anyone on here has one or has had one and what their opinions were. There's not many about second hand so that either means that a) they're very good and no one wants to part with them OR B) they're terrible and that's why there's none about!! Cheers.
