Hey @Kevdbass – yes, if you cover the expenses.

3500 for this beauty. Trades will be considered at a different price.

Hey @AndyTheBassBison – it weighs 4kg on my bathroom scale.

Added some more pictures to hopefully make justice to the bass at this incredibly low price

1600 until next weekend.

4K now.

Butterscotch Blonde Fender Modern Player Telecaster Bass in very very good condition. Underpriced to sell fast!

SADOWSKY METROLINE RV4 BASS - MADE IN JAPAN (2008) - WITH ORIGINAL CASE IN LAKE PLACID BLUE.

Great condition with original case. Zero fretwear. Got it in a trade, but more into vintage basses.

Not to be confused with the more recent (and inferior) Chinese built MetroExpress basses, this is a fantastic Tokyo built MetroLine RV4.

Open to offers and partial trades with cash my way.

Now £4500 cash. Open to trades at adjusted price.

Incredibly this is still around. Dropped to £5000

Dropping to £5K - open to full trades.

Drop to £5250 cash, partial trades welcome. 

Price drop to £5500. Trades considered.

@dutchwife I wish the pictures/video captured the fingerboard a bit better. It’s hard to explain how unique and beautiful it is!

Open to offers and partial trades, let me know if you’d like to try and make something work.

Open to partial trades and cash offers. This Instrument is an exclusively hand-crafted unique product. Low action and minimal relief. This guitar plays evenly up and down the board with no buzz. The frets and board have almost no wear at all. Electronics are stock and function as intended. There was a small finish chip that was repaired at one point or another between the neck pickup and fretboard extension, which is barely noticeable.

Up for sale and trade is a bass which was allegedly owned by legendary bass player Arvell Shaw, long-time bassist of Louis Armstrong.

I got this bass from a private collector in the UK with very good reputation who purchased the bass back in 2008. The reason why I mention "allegedly" is because I was not able to find any evidence (e.g. pictures or references online of Arvell playing the bass). I guess if I managed to, this bass would be worth 3-5x its listing price, but I honestly have no interest in investing the money and effort at this time on trying to authenticate it.

Either way – this bass is justly priced as an all original 74 Ripper bass, in good condition with the added bonus of having an interesting story. Comes with the original hardshell case and some Arvell Shaw memorabilia.

Total bargain, now for £900

Now £950. Trades also welcome.

Now £2000. Also open to trades.
