This Seiwa looks nice, headstock/decal resembles an Ibanez, it's only £90, Chepstow's a bit too far for me unfortunately

[i]Trying to work out who the seller is: I used to live in Baildon and he played with Ian Brown[/i]

Schecter custom stiletto 5 for £150 + £10 delivery. Looks like a lot of bass for little money, they seem to get good reviews, if it was 4 string i'd be all over it.

It does say he'll supply the original pup. I'd want the heart shaped tuners though, and one that hadn't been fiddled about with
There's another '81 Blazer for sale that could possibly be a bargain for someone who knows how to repair bass guitars, bids currently at £104:00:
