    A beautiful bass and the sound of the Stone Roses but who would dare take one of them to a gig down the 'local'?  What is the point of buying it unless you're a collector.

    I have a luthier built 4005 (in my avatar) which is identical to a genuine one, even genuine RIC parts, so to the local scrote is the real thing. It's my regular gig bass at upmarket and rough as rats venues. 

    Why wouldn't you take a decent bass to a gig? Just look after it. 

    Well it blew me away. Lynyrd Skynyrd.

    My sister sent me this... I didnt realise what I was about to hear. Its a wonderful record but good lord that groove at 4,40 mins... that is one of the most satisfying guitar solos (2 part) and groove sections ive ever heard that seems to go on and on, the galloping/ 16th note bass playing, the drumming is just amazing also..... just wow. 

     

    And that's just the short version 😉

    Quite possibly the worst looking finish any manufacturer has ever come up with. Absolutely the most hideous colour combo burst, and then replicating it on the pickguard is another level of foul. Like watching someone be sick, and then eat it again. 

     

    It's not for me, if you were wondering. 😁

    Buying online from a private buyer

    There's issues both ways with PayPal. As a buyer you only want to use payment for goods (or whatever they call it) to be covered, friends and family payment is like a bank transfer, no getting it back if anything goes wrong. 

    As a seller, they often don't want to accept PayPal 'payment for goods' as if the buyer is unscrupulous then they can dubiously claim for things like 'not as described' or damage. 

    Trust, or lack of, works both ways. 

     

    Where is the bass? Is there a BCer local who could collect it for you, give it the once over and stay with the seller while you bank transfer the money? Then you can arrange a courier to collect it from them. 

    I've been lucky enough that folks on here have done that a couple of times for me.
