Here is some additional info. The bass weighs 11Ibs. The controls bare vol, passive tone.( large knobs). The 3 smaller knobs are the 3 band preamp.. treble,mid,bass. The 2 micro switches are active on/off and series/parallel for back pick up. I don't have any sound samples but here is a link to the lesser version...it has the same pickups.. the difference us that the GOB 900 is passive, and the micro switches are series/parallel for both pick ups...but gives a good indication of sound. Hope that helps. If you need any further info/pics just ask and I'll do my best. Warm Regards Raj Quote

Good point. I'll update with some more info tomorrow. Thanks.

Lovely little bass.

I like that.

What a killing looking bass.. Do love the warrior body shape too. They remind me of Aries basses.

Yes you're right. I've never seen one for sale here. The ones on ebay are quite tatty, cost more... then add shipping.. and customs. Really well made basses.

Additional pics of complete bass added..

Really Russell? We've done a couple of sweet deals in the past.. ...

Ok. I'll sort one out.

Wow. I'm really surprised that such a rare and desirable bass didn't even get a single comment. I doubt that there are even 4-5 in the entire country. Strange times.

You a Who fan then?

That's a beauty.

Fo sale is an extremely rare Greco GOB 1200 bass. It has undergone a very extensive sympathetic restoration. It came to me with all brassware extremely corroded and pitted, masses of buckle rash, lots of crater like dings to the lacquer, broken control knobs, terrible corrosion, shot bridge posts, poor frets, poor control cavity, and gummed up / corroded tuners. The tuners were stripped, cleaned up and lubricated,complete refret, new brass nut, the body has had most of the dings filled, and most of the buckle rash, control cavity has been relined with copper, new knobs, new brass bridge posts, all bridge assembly/ ferrules cleaned and coated and lacquered and coated in tough brass paint. I thought that the hardware was solid brass..but it isn't.. its brass plate..thus hardware cannot be sourced so it was painted and lacqured..it looks really nice now. All pots are original.. one if them is still crackly..and the passive tone doesn't work...a minor job. The bass looks really nice but used...NOT PRISTINE. A rare opportunity to buy this wonderful bass. https://photos.app.goo.gl/L8XidwW6TePqZPQo9 Pics of whole bass https://photos.app.goo.gl/oxmjGYmXoSaHuvqY6 looking for sale to fund a new motorbike.
