Having contours put in crossed my mind a few times… was never brave enough to do it in the end. Cheers 👍

Sept update: Due to a pending house move the bass is now in storage in Berkshire, so it will be a while until it is bumped again, I may bump it now and again though. But please direct message me if you find this advert and you’re interested. £2750 ono- The price on the listing was for when this was a trade only advert. It’s a 1964 Relic, 1 of 30 made for 2009 release, this one was made in 2008. I have the spec sheet if you need it. Weighs 8.98lbs / 4.08kg, great balance, very comfortable C shape neck and of course a killer tone. It’s not one of the thicker C shapes that some of the later ones have - this bass uncannily feels just like my old original 64. All original aside from the tone pot, which is now a series/parallel push/pull switch, gives you an extra fat tone option and loses nothing from the original. Original case and covers too. No trades please - cash needed for the new home! Unfortunately collection only at this moment. Cheers

Cheers guys, I think I’ll put the price back up as this seems more a reflection on the market than the bass, and I’m not selling for cash flow reasons. Maybe time to withdraw and relist later in the year?

Those were the days eh? The one in my avatar cost me £550 used in 1996…. The weight is 9.42lbs / 4.27kg Cheers

Sounds great thanks, if only… 😊 I might be able to ship the bass, please PM if if you want to explore that option.

In relation to the post above. I’d take £1800 to ‘rip off the band aid quickly’ 😖 These are very unique and special basses so I feel that’s a fair price this year.

Cheers Bruce, I was always hoping never to sell, but just too damn painful to play a slab body these days, gutted.

No longer on hold

You might just be right

Yeah, the butterscotch and mint ones don’t have the 40th logo on the headstock rear… although the old page on the MM website always showed them with the 40th logo.

On hold for a BC’er

Can’t argue with that 😊✌️

Think I’ll be saying just that pal. Oh btw, may also trade for something purple… 😂

****Relisted 16th June due to a payment issue from an overseas buyer. £1750 - no trades please. Gutted to sell this, but the slab body exacerbates nerve issues I have. I’ve been holding onto it for ages regardless as the tone is stunning, but it now feels like the right time to look into selling. Unique StingRay, 10 pole pickup (not usual 8) and special Old Smoothie epoxy coated preamp work so well with the alder body, literally a smoother Ray tone yet still punchy. The video below tells the story of this 1976 prototype made for Sterling Ball and named by Leo Fender. It’s a 40th Anniversary Ltd Ed. I’ve always had flats on it, but it will be sold with rounds on. The back of the neck was glossy, I’ve rubbed off the top gloss which in my opinion now makes it much smoother and comfier to play. The case has some marks and a small crack, all pictured for full disclosure
