Hi - looking to move my Epiphone on. Not sure how exclusive the Custom Shop is, but from what I've found online is that this was a limited edition short scale version of the Gibson EB3 which is a lot more faithful to the original than the current long scale model. Love the white finish, which again doesn't seem to have been produced in large numbers.

Plays really well with a set of La Bella flats & sounds pretty authentic. Comes with a gig bag, but won't be able to post so looking for a cash/collection deal in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Would possibly consider trades for another short scale bass with cash either way - give me a shout if you're interested... 😉👍

Ok thanks, good fit and finish ?

Yes - my last one from him was for a PJ Mustang & it fitted perfectly. Better than the original one in terms of finish too! 👍

Hi - I contacted an eBay seller called earlpilanz who said he could clone a plate if I sent the original one to them. Never pushed the button at the time, but had a couple of plates off him before & they were great.

Hi - bit of a longshot, but I have a black Rascal & wondered if there are any owners of a pink one out there who fancy swapping their tort scratchplate for my white pearl one? Found a mock-up on Talkbass & it looks pretty good!

If you fancy a swap give me a shout... 🤞

😉👍

Is this a model with the push/pull coil taps? 

Not this one - regular Vol / Vol / Tone like a Jazz Bass here

Thanks both! I was lucky to pick this up locally for a decent price, so thought I'd pass it on for what I paid... 😁👍

Looks great! Do you know the weight please?

Lovely reissue of a '60s classic short scale semi-acoustic that I picked up a while back. Great condition, really light, plays well & has the incredible Bi-Sonic pickup that sounds huge! Since I've had it I've strung it with a new set of La Bella Low Tension flats, but I'll throw in the set of nearly new Pyramid flats that it came with & some Pyramid tapes. Comes with a hard case that's seen a bit of outer wear, but fine inside. Ideally looking for collection from Newcastle, but postage in the UK is now an option at cost & could be interested in trades for another short scale with cash either way...

The full spec is at https://guildguitars.com/g/m-85-bass

Giving this a bump for a price drop - open to sensible offers, but will have to be collection only just now...

Hi @JohnDaBass - love what you've done there. Bet it sounds massive now! 😁👍

Sold elsewhere - thanks all! 😉👍

Just sold John a bass via a postal deal & he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Enjoy! Cheers - B. 😁👍

Giving this a bump - would do it for £300 cash / collected in Newcastle

Are you willing to ship?

Hi @tayste_2000 - I don't have any packing materials to hand that I'd trust just now, so was looking for a cash/collection deal on this one
