Hello again groovers, Please excuse the delay in getting the pictures up. This is no longer a "feeler" post but a definite "for sale" now but I'm changing the price to £1500. I know this looks like bad form but I feel the initial £1350 was very hasty on my part, considering what an animal of a bass it is, it's lovely condition and the trends in USA prices these days. On top of this, I've had so many offers above the "feeler" price that I'd be a numpty to honour my initial "feeler" price. I hope you all understand. Anyway, here they are. Gorgeous Stingray. Makes my hairs stand up every time I play it but I'm playing less and less bass these days and am hooked on electric and acoustic six string. I'm thinking about busking in my 60's. The only marks on it are so hard to photograph. There's a tiny dent below the g string mute, and an even tinier one on the headstock but I can't find it now. The pickguard has some wear from me but there's hardly any swirling ty[ical on a black poly body. Birdseye maple neck which glows. Serial number on the bridge. Mutes. 4.36kg which equates to 9.6 lbs. Truss rod works perfectly. These basses need no introduction. Absolute animal tone. Needs to be gigged and NEVER has been. Absolutely welcome over at the Chewie residence but I've got a little Roland CUBE here so bring a worthy amp if you're coming. I've got a Gert big garage. Kind regards to you all.

Beautiful Strat for sale. All original. 3 way selector. Cloth wires. Beautiful nitro finish. Loads of character and checking. Nice dark fretboard. Beautiful, clean neck. I changed the pickguard for a "Charles Guitars" mint green one. Original one included obviously. There is the customary guitar stand reaction on the back. Even this just adds to its mojo and originality IMO. This is a gorgeous looking and sounding guitar. Way nicer than a custom shop in my opinion. Much cheaper too. More collectible too, for that matter. Original case with most of the candy. I also have the original bridge cover and tremolo arm. Case is good. Everything works. More than welcome to come and play it. I have a Roland here or bring your own amp. Price £1,750 I would also consider a gold top Les Paul in trade. Humbuckers not P90s. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire. Thank you for looking.

It's great to hear everybody's take on it. For me, if that didn't have his initials scratched into it, I would've been thinking about going to view it. If it had been on the back, it wouldn't've bothered me half as much. How shallow is that? Deep enough to know I'm shallow. Nowt queerer than folk, as my dad would say. Merry Xmas everyone. -

Back after a "misunderstanding" with a fellow bass chatter. Really nice condition. Can barely find a mark on it. A couple of really tiny dents and some tarnishing of the hardware and that is it. Weighs 4.36 kgs...... which is 9.6 pounds.... on the digital kitchen scales. This bass needs no introduction. It's a beast. The only bass you might need, they say. Made in July 2018; according to the serial number. It's got a lovely dark neck. The pre amp is an animal. Trouser flapping stuff......... Brand new D'Addario 130 - 45's on it. Comes with it's very plush Yamaha Gig Bag. Balances beautifully. From 45 degrees to 90 degrees, no problem. This was the previous owners backup bass. I don't think it's hardly been used. Price is £495. I'd consider a trade with an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Thanks for looking. Collection preferred but could also post within the UK.

Thanks T-Bay, Yeah, my quote was for £75 fully insured for a £500 bass. Matey thinks it should be half that. -

I changed the pickguard for a "Charles Guitars" mint green one. Original one included obviously. There is the customary guitar stand reaction on the back. Even this just adds to its mojo and originality IMO. This is a gorgeous looking and sounding guitar. Apart from the early Fullerton reissues, this is the closest you can get to an original pre-CBS Stratocaster, IMO. Way nicer than a custom shop in my opinion. Much cheaper too. More collectible too, for that matter. Original case with most of the candy. I also have the original bridge cover and tremolo arm. Case is good. Everything works. More than welcome to come and play it. I have a Blues Junior here (unless that sells too) or bring your own amp. Reason for sale is I just don't play electric much. I have a dusty old Squier under the bed if I get the urge. Any more pics or info. required, please just ask. I will add more pics of the pots et cetera at a later date. Price £1750 Thanks for looking. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire. Thank you for looking.
