Or very near offer

Bit more info from googling: "In 2006 a limited number of custom finish instruments were produced, intended for the Japanese market: Coral Pink, Canary Yellow, and Coral Blue (though often referred to as Caribbean blue). These were not widely distributed to US dealers, though odd examples did appear online"

I think Gibson always use nitro. It is (remarkably, given its 14 years old) free of dings. The paint is quite thick which may explain, together with it looking as if the bass had rarely if ever left its case, why its in such great condition Edit: I just found another for sale thread from the US a few years back that describes it as a "faded nitrocellulose finish".

Well, I looked for one of these for years and one popped up in February in France (I have only ever seen one other in the UK) so I snaffled it. Its a fabulous bass in near-mint condition but I have to recoup the cost of a custom shop bass that just arrived and - in truth - I don't need a short scale back-up to my fabulous '71 Mustang (nothing touches it, in my opinion). So I would like to recoup my outlay of £1100 . Bear in mind, these are super-rare and its in amazing, next-to-unplayed-looking condition bar the typical swirls on the black pickguard (a new SG bass in standard cherry is £1,199). Delivery only in these strange times. PS, comes with fitted Gibson hard case which has a few scratches and dents. * Fundraiser so no trades, thanks * Background and pics here:

About time I added up to date pics (taken today) including the GruvGear bag

Price cut to £95 posted, basically half new price

OK, back up FS as the courier system still seems to be functioning effectively and peeps still seem to be happy distance buying/selling. I will drop price by £30 if I get to keep the black nylon flats and spare tort scratchplate, which would make prices: Bass + never-left-house Gruvgear Edge semi-rigid case + two sets of strings (fitted La Bella light flatwound, Ernie Ball [?] nickel rounds) = £845 delivered to UK, £870 delivered to mainland Europe OVNO

Despite my preference for short scale, this is catching my eye 🤔

Phwoarrr. P bass equivalent of Betsey

Withdrawing this as of today. PS. If you have found this in a search of the forum at a future date, send me a PM and I will see if meet-up or delivery is possible based on where we are at with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last call or the bass goes into hibernation until this storm has passed with effect from Monday.

Final cut. If no takers, bass is going back in its case for happier days. New low prices as follows: Bass + never-left-house Gruvgear Edge semi-rigid case + three sets of strings (D'Addario black nylon tapewound, La Bella light flatwound, Ernie Ball [?] nickel rounds) + unfitted Rebelrelic tort guard = £850 collected (while observing social distancing) £875 delivered to UK, £900 delivered to mainland Europe

This week, as UPS are still running for now, an extra £25 discount on the prices mentioned above ... plus I will throw in the spare unfitted Rebelrelic tort guard (cost >£60) for nowt PS, given the strange times in which we currently live, its sale only (ie, no trades). Cheers Clarky
