Bump

Thanks Thunderbird - you're quite right. The luthier I used was unhappy with the screw terminal on the bridge earth so decided to solder it unfortunately. Even if I were to remove it myself, I still wouldn't have the first idea how to refit the original panel. I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable selling a bass that I had done the soldering on! I don't even have a soldering iron. Time to get one and learn perhaps.

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1488876725' post='3252487'] Agreed, although seller might help help the situation if he replied to to PMs regarding sales as well as reading them [/quote] My apologies, Beedster. Have you ever received an email/ message on the go and had a quick look at it but not had time to reply properly? Sorry I didn't get back to you. Glad you managed to find yourself one. Thanks everyone for all your advice. I might hang on to this after all. My lack of soldering skills forbid me from removing the pre and refitting the original panel myself. I just thought this might be worth the money to the right person as it is. It was to me.

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1488717965' post='3251218'] sadly this appears to be following the rule that what you do to upgrade your bass will not be reflected in the asking price.. I'd be tempted to pull the john east preamp out and sell it separately.. [/quote] Good point, well made. However, the bass and it's upgrades are around £600 worth (conservatively). I didn't source and fit the pickups, wiring, control panel and tuners so I can only approximate their value.[list] [*]Price for bass new - £320ish [*]Pre amp - £149 [*]Hipshot tuners set - £50-100? [*]Fender pickups, wiring and control panel - £50-100? [*]Pick guard - £10-15? [*]Hardcase - £25-50? [/list] I'm asking considerably less than the sum of it's parts and I'm sure I'd accept a sensible offer :-) I appreciate your input and opinion though. Your statement is true of many things I guess. Modified cars for example. People can spend tens of thousands of pounds on modifications which can ultimately de-value a car.

Bump - 500W beast of a rig for not much cash. Come on people!

[quote name='Biglump' timestamp='1484654436' post='3217168'] Whereabouts are you? [/quote]Based in between Gloucester and Cheltenham.

[quote name='Bassdude BE' timestamp='1484601554' post='3216779'] Is it possible the combo used to be mine a couple of years ago? i sold one on here with an identical small crack in exactly the same spot at the foot of the combo, that's why I ask.. Tempted to buy it back tho,as I have no gigging amp atm.. Do you have a price in mind for just the combo without the cab? [/quote]It might be. I bought it from a chap who lives in Cornwall. We met at his other house in Bristol to do the deal. Was that you? Anyhow, feel free to PM me an offer :-)

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1484596675' post='3216714'] That is, quite frankly, a mad price. Whoever buys this should pick the rig up looking like this ;-) [url="http://s1000.photobucket.com/user/basscoach/media/stuffs/1f64b9cd8e77770da8ba484c2de03c90.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote]Ha!!! Thanks mate

Bump - £300 anyone?

[quote name='shadowalka' timestamp='1484411281' post='3215320'] How much does the bass weight? [/quote] Not sure I'm afraid. I don't even have any bathroom scales at the moment. It's lighter than my Jazz 5 (which isn't a very heavy bass). I'd say it's light for a Precision 5. It's light for a bass full stop :-)

Bump for a price drop - now £850 ono

Still available! Make me an offer

Bump - Open to offers on the selling price obviously. Just a ballpark.

Hi all. I Bought this used from the Gallery. it's in great condition and beautifully set up as you'd imagine. A few odd marks here and there but still looks very fresh. Functionally it's spot on. No issues. I believe it's a pre-2008 model so doesn't have the hi-mass bridge, custom shop pickup or lightweight tuners. However, the hardware and pickups are great, the bass balances very well and is super comfortable to play. Sounds just as you would expect - Fat as F**K!! If you're looking at this then you know what's on offer. Beautiful simplicity! Will include the same basic gig bag that the gallery sold it with. Sale Price now £800 Thanks [attachment=235271:IMG_2246.JPG][attachment=235272:IMG_2247.JPG][attachment=235273:IMG_2248.JPG][attachment=235274:IMG_2250.JPG][attachment=235275:IMG_2252.JPG][attachment=235276:IMG_2253.JPG]

Bump - Price drop £350! Serious rig for not much cash.
