Just had a quick look and the 10 sticker would concern me that it didn’t leave a mark when removed , depending on how long it’s been there, not the original case either , but it does look nice
Cools sound too

Coincidentally, a cool looking AV 63 P has come on Reverb just a few hours ago. £2k.
The seller is the current bass player in Ocean Colour Scene - Ray Meade.
Man, I would love to buy it, but don't have 2k 😞

That pink one is lovely. I'd love a 4 with non-X JJ pickups. You know, just to have something different 😉
Agree. The back of the headstock looks very different too. Never seen something like that. Check it out:

Everyone likes some feline finish on their bass, no?

Congratulations @cetera it is a stunner!
Myself is a bit relieved that it's not a 5 string and even if it was it's not available (Ishibashi site doesn't show new items, only used)50 minutes ago, cetera said:Oh, I wanted to say that it looks like Danny will ship to Hungary soon 😁
However, I then got the website translated and "こちらの商品は[在庫切れ]のため購入できません" means "This item is out of stock and cannot be purchased." 😞

Just in case anyone wants a similarly stunning looking bass. Ishibashi have a used CST from the same limited run. Check it out!
The Euro CST models are inspired by the Woodstock, NY-based Spector Custom Shop and feature a new combination of tonewoods, electronics, and finishes never before seen on the Euro series.
The Euro CST series is made of premium woods and features an impressive poplar burl top, a resonant European ash body, a three-piece North American maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard with laminated Avalon crown inlays.
The bridge is made of a lightweight zinc-brass alloy for accurate and reliable intonation.
Premium active EMG X-Series pickups provide the superior clarity, attack, and quiet operation that characterize the Spector sound.The condition shows that it has been used carefully with little signs of use.
No problems with playing performance. There are no noticeable dents, and this is one that we can recommend to those who are considering a new one.
Item Rank: B+: Some scratches, but no problems in normal use.
Serial number: NB22317
Country of manufacture: Czech Republic
Case: Gig Case
Accessories: wrenches
Weight: 3.53kg
Truss Rod: No problem, rod is at 60 degrees to the left and right.
Fretboard Height: No problem, fretboard height is sufficient.
Scale: 864mm (34")-

It's a quirky geometry, for sure. Wearing it much lower on the strap helps some.
I struggle with how people manage the Euro X shape or Explorer/Flying-vee shapes.
Just hang it really loooow

Wow, that looks absolutely stunning 😍 That's how the CST is supposed to look like!
I think I had the same bass on my watchlist but our never-ending house renovation project kept me from going for it.
Enjoy 👍

I did buy it. I paid several hundred less than the one on Andy Baxter's site after our haggling. Think Tony I is just a bit rubbish at updating Gumtree advert (it said "weeks old" when he first listed it last year, when he had not long bought it from BassDirect ... given how many adverts he has, I think he just hits refresh when an ad expires!) I had a good experience
Cool stuff. Enjoy and let us know how you like it!

Well, after a couple of recent buys that didn't work out (for weight reasons), I messaged Tony about the Spector Ian Hill. He sent videos of its condition and him playing it and we agreed a price that both felt was fair (which took into account my comments on the post I have quoted above). Totally legit guy, very friendly and clearly his prices are flexible. Hope this is helpful
So, did you buy it? It is still listed on Gumtree as "weeks old" even though it has been online for months.
Andy Baxter also recently listed an IH Ltd (different serial number) for a similar price (£96 more). Mint condition and only 3.67kg! (not my bass).

From the ebay listing:
"The Richwood Bass Guitar is a high-quality, right-handed electric bass with a solid body and maple top,maple cap headstock with MOP binding. It features a classic 4-string configuration, a rosewood fretboard,with a wonderful mop inlay,and a maple neck. Perfect for bass players looking for a reliable and tonally rich instrument, this guitar is ideal for both practice and performance. The included hard case provides protection for the instrument during transport, ensuring its longevity and value."

The new Peavey Cirrus will be made by NBE in the Czech Republic. NBE also makes the Spector Euro basses. So, the quality of the Cirrus basses will probably be really good and justify the price. However, I genuinely doubt that the Peavey brand is strong enough to convince many buyers to pay more than £3k for a new Cirrus that was not made in the US. We may like it or not, but brands do matter a lot. Sad but true (and that's my musical reference for the day. Mission accomplished ; -).

Roger Walters? I think he's Julie's estranged brother. Used to be a good brickie back in the day, eventually got sacked for tearing down the wall.
Could well be. Julie's father, Thomas Walters, was an English builder and decorator 🙂

Thanks. Good to know. I checked the photos and the one on ebay was a 34'' (bridge pickup not aligned with balance and treble pots).

Are there 34 and 35 versions of it? It only said 2016 Ian Hill signature bass, so I assume it is the 34 one.

@Eldon Tyrell I think you are lucky to have a "not-for-sale" bass, meaning you've found something that fits you so well and also lucky for the Starr bass- haven't seen many out in the wild. It is fun to try new things even with the caveat of them most probably not becoming a not for sale bass....
Well, I tried securing another potential "not for sale" bass, the Ian Hill signature model, today. Unfortunately, I was outbid on ebay 😞

I spot an opportunity for cunning guitar companies to sell "signature" models without having to pay the artists. Look out for the new Steve Via model from Ibanez any day now.
Good idea. However, it is probably only creating a business opportunity for the artists' lawyers.

Google is your friend.
Maybe read it again carefully. Hint, it is not the "Roger" bit 😉
