Where are you based? This seems like a really nice looking bass and I've always liked them.

The fantastic 'Concepts for Bass Soloing' book in great condition with both CDs. Price includes delivery.

PM sent, looks like a DB Christmas could be mine.

Be careful when buying a TVR - there can be some big problems under the fibreglass! Guitars are much simpler to assess :-)

Do you have screwdrivers and a digital camera over there?

Where are you based? I'd be interested in coming around...

How much?

Is a ticket for Rush really £86? Man alive. I'm sure they will be AMAZING live, but that's a whopping price tag.

It's a V5 Golf. Not great with the leather seats and stuff! I'm trying to figure something out...

I'm still trying to figure out whether this would fit into my small hatchback. Am assuming not :-(

It's on eBay, so checking is only an option if you're in London, and in the right part of London too. Big place, London.

He has feedback of just 30; I haven't bothered to check what for.

If it's buzzing when played at the 7th fret, despite having a high action already, IME it will either have a neck like a banana or a heel like a Harrier take-off ramp.

Either of those (if true, of course) would imply an expensive mistake waiting to be made.

Just my tupp'orth, mind.

It's a strange business the world at the moment. With something like a vintage guitar I'd be loathe to part with almost £2,000 of my money without seeing a guitar. Indeed, London is a big place but there's buses, trains, the tube and much more to help you get there (all funded by the Great British tax-payer).

When I used to trade in vintage basses (I've had a large number of these) I'd always make the effort to get to meet the seller somehow. Often, if only for some history on the guitar...

As for the buzzing, again it's something you just need to see for yourself - there could be a number of reasons - it's pretty obvious the guy didn't know much about guitars really.

I hope whoever paid £1850 for it is happy with the guitar.

It's likely to need a refret, but a buzzing string on the 7th fret isn't a deal breaker. As with anything like this, it's always much better to go out and see the instrument rather than relying upon someone's judgement that, from what he says, illustrate a fairly small knowledge of vintage Fenders. Check the movement of the truss rod, check the fret condition, check for obvious bowing and/or warping and walk away if you're not confident in it.

Having looked at his feedback he's had some nice instruments in the past too...

Nice bass, if I was in London I'd go and check it out and try to wrestle it from his grasp with cash!

Probably go to a dealer who will have it for sale at about £2,300.

Beautiful guitar. I was trying to value my own 66 Candy Apple Red Jazz - and this helps...

It looks like a good investment for someone.

Bump for price drop - will listen to offers as my living room resembles a guitar shop when my girlfriend would want it to look like a wedding planning office.

Cheers buddy, thanks very much...!

Bump for price drop! Need the money as job going soon... *sobs*

We're all going the same way. My dream of a practice room has a wedding dress, sewing machine and 'shabby chic' dresser in it.

Good luck with the sale!

Hi, yes it is a Squier. I used to have an original 70s one in the distant past and this is a very good copy I have to say (aside from the damage at the back!).

You da man!
