For Sale. [b]***PRICE DROP £420***[/b]
For as long as I can remember I always wanted one of these beauties and when the opportunity to own one came up about 6 months ago I jumped at the chance. Sadly however, it just is not getting the use that is clearly deserves so I thought I would pass it on to another appreciator of fine vintage British instruments.
This is a very early Mk.1 1976 example as demonstrated by the 'big plate' scratchplate and the use of the surplus Hayman stock neck. Serial number 6022.
The bass itself sounds awesome giving a really throaty punchy growly tone (not a million miles away from a Ric neck pickup) with loads or presence and sustain. All original. Stereo output option (splits the E A strings to one amp, and D G to another). Nice and light, and well balanced. Holds its tuning really well. Beautiful vintage sunburst complemented with a lovely maple neck. Looks terrific in the mirror!
Obviously, given its age, there are a few knocks and bumps on this particular example but I imagine that most people considering one of these items would be aware of that fact.
I can throw in a gig bag, stereo lead and brand new strap that I bought specifically for this. Just looking for what I paid for it. Happy to post as buyers expense but might need a few days to get the box/materials together.
Any questions, fire away. Thanks.
