Personally I'd try to put a significant deposit down if I really really wanted it, and have it put aside for me. And collecting the last 100 meanwhile. Shouldn't be much of a problem I think.

1962 Fender Precision basket case?
SurroundedByManatees replied to danbanbass's topic in Bass Guitars
When listed on here it was initially £6.995.... with the body being listed as altered but original. Before it got listed for sale at bass direct, someone determined that the body is not original (I assume they made sure the typical markings aren't present under the refin). -
1962 Fender Precision basket case?
SurroundedByManatees replied to danbanbass's topic in Bass Guitars
You can't list this titled as a '62 and take yourself seriously at the same time imo. We are talking about a half original neck, a pickup and a bit of hardware that is (when giving the benefit of the doubt) probably original. Just my opinion of course. -
NBD! Spector Euro CST Japan only custom
SurroundedByManatees replied to cetera's topic in Bass Guitars
What a fantastic finish, I love the depth. Great stuff to look at for a long time after a cheeky smoke. -
What are you listening to right now?

The Bicycle Thief (Bob Forrest, Josh Klinghoffer) - You come and go like a pop song. One of my favorite albums. I finally managed to get this album on vinyl. These are pretty scarce as only 500 are made. When offered for sale, the additional 7" bonus is often missing. -
Correct, could be up to 1982

There are fake L series plates available on "every corner". Though I couldn't tell if this one is authentic or not. There could be some variation of course. Decal is definitely not original, not even partly, because spaghetti type logo. Othwerwise I'm tempted to say the neck is original based on the shine of a well used brazilian rosewood fretboard. I agree it looks light in colour though, and the grain pores seem less typical at first sight. 🤷

These listings of premium priced basses are totally made up by some clever bass players, to show their wives/husbands that their 6k basses are quite cheap actually.

Feeling fancy with this one:

NBD: 1998 G&L L-2000 - the one from the catalogue...
SurroundedByManatees replied to wateroftyne's topic in Bass Guitars
O boy, what a beauty. Enjoy! -
For sale is this Gretsch Broadkaster bass. It’s a Japanese instrument, not a cheaper one from the Electromatic range. Technically the bass is in very good condition. All hardware and electronics work like they should. The neck is straight with frets with little wear. Playability is great with a low action. The finish has developed a cloudy blush, possibly because the bass had been in the case for a long time. There are specialized blush erasers available for this kind of lacquer issues. Otherwise the bass has few usermarks, and I haven’t seen any damages. The bass is strung with flats and sounds great. The original case, certificate and other paperwork are included. €1.350 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk.

I'm pretty sure I've seen one in a green(burst) finish a few months ago on reverb. IIRC it was listed as something Korean.

Relisted with pricedrop!! For sale is this ’89 Music Man Stingray. It’s a rare light one, weighing in at a bit less than 3,9kg. The body is finished in the classic honeyburst, and the lacquered neck has some nice birdseye figuring. As you can see, the bass has a lot of usermarks/damages (especially on the back), but technically all is good. The neck is straight and the truss rod works well. The frets show some wear, but it doesn’t affect playability. All hardware and electronics function like they should, the pots could be a bit scratchy though. Fixed price: €1975 I am based in the Netherlands, but happy to ship. I don’t have a case, but will use a gigbag for shipping. I can also take the neck of to reduce costs if wished so. No trades.

That truss rod nut hasn't got in very deep. It wouldn't be a flag for me, it will probably work just fine without any problems.

Fender Mustang Bass 1970 For sale is my great vintage ’70 Mustang Bass in a sought after competition red finish with matching headstock. The bass is all original as far as I can tell, and is fitted with an uncommon pinkish pearl pickguard (as sometimes found on instruments from this era). The serial number says it’s from 1970, which is consistent with the matching headstock. The pots date back to week 51 of 1970. I don’t have a picture of the pickup bottoms; the pickguard is partly stuck to the body due to some chemichal reaction with the pickguard material (common issue with CAR finish), and I don’t want to force things when taking it off. The solder joints are untouched. The fretboard has some nice figuring on and appears to be brazilian rosewood. This bass has been used, and it has small damages and usermarks all around. Nothing serious though, it’s in a very good vintage condition considering the age. All hardware and electronics are functional. Two of the tuners are a bit stiff and might want some lubrication. The neck is straight, adjustable, and the frets are in good condition. I’ve added an angled shim to get the action lower while retaining a good breaking angle. It’s a very comfortable playing bass with a good action. Weight is 3,6kg on my kitchen scales. The bass is fitted with LaBella flats. The best choice for these basses imo, they bring a lot of character. Included is the original "salt ’n pepper" Victoria hardcase. Without any doubt this is the best Mustang Bass I've ever played. Though as I don't play this beauty as my first choice, it feels like a better decision to sell instead of keeping it (I've listed it before and withdrawn)... Asking €4.500 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk. Partial trades (bass/guitar) are possibly negotiable, but straight sale is preferred. Upfront payment methods are the only ones accepted; cash on collection, banktransfer or PayPal as a gift.

Sounds like me. Had quite a few, sold quite a few. Everything I think I need a stingray, I end up missing some warmth. They can do a great job in a band context though.
