It's a nice bass, I would show some photos of the board also, specifically showing that the gloss finish is intact. Most people looking to buy a maple board fretless (which includes me at present), would need to see that the board is perfect or close to perfect before even setting out to try it. I've owned several and love them, but I've also seen - and in one case bought - some necks that looked perfect in photos only to find them close to unplayable as the result of the finish having worn in some places and not others, which is very common with these. All that aside, lovely bass at a lovely price, good luck 👍

Mmm, never seen a P-neck like that, except on your Hondo P-Bass 😆 Looks a bloody decent bass for the price, there is something so iconic about the cream/black combination on a ‘Ray 👍

Could use this gone, so £150 gets you a lot of creamy bassiness for not a lot of cash 👍

Played this through my (previously for sale) Mesa M6 his evening. F**k me, on the basis of which the M6 is now staying and if I didn't have far too many basses, this would be also 🤔

If anyone want to take this off my hands for £150 on the understanding that at the very least it needs a new preamp tube but could be more, feel free to get in touch 👍

There's a rather elegant lifecycle to things on BC; how many of us have bought something, then sold it as the result of GAS, only to find ourselves realising the error of our ways and buying the same model - sometimes even the same item - again? This has sat unplayed for almost 6-months. I sat down and played it this evening and realised that, if I didn't own a Mesa Carbine M6 Combo, I'd be posting for one in Items Wanted. So I guess i've saved myself the bother of selling it only to find I need to buy it again! I'd like to say 'So with apologies, I'm withdrawing it", but given it's sat here for 6-months, I don't feel all that guilty

I'll gig it out and post some pics at the weekend, looked iconic 👍

Here's a pic for you @Cosmo Valdemar Still a big part of me wants to strip this bass, despite the very high quality of the current finish and relic work - and blondify it al la Tumahai/BBD, that bass was an iconic part of my youth! Problem is, I'd do all that work and probably still sell it 🤔

It is. If I were going to keep it I would probably switch out the current circuit to a stacked VT/VT control set, to maintain the vintage vibe but make it easier to find the sweet spot between the two PUPs. Having said that, having what amounts to three presets is pretty handy also 👍

Hey mate, there's nine pics in total, I can see them all, I've no idea what this stuff (below) at the foot of the first post is, but i don't appear to be able to remove it. Either way, I can post more pics?

She is, and I just made THAT mistake as well.......... Had to take it into the house to weigh it, so before taking it back out to the studio thought I'd have a quick play...... 🤔

Stunning 👍
