Right bit more info..... I bought it from the bass centre in california, about 2 years ago. It came as a 'B'grade bass but when it arrived i couldnt see anytyhing wrong with it at all. After a little research i found that the reason it was 'B' grade was because it didnt have the push/pull volume pot which means it is hard wired as active rather than the active/passive it should be! dont know if this affects the value at all??? Ive never minded as i only play active basses anyway so its never been an issue to me.
Its immaculate, no major knocks scrapes etc just the very odd minor surface scratch yo'd expect from playing but to be honest ive seen brand new bassess in shops looking identical!! its the tobacco finish one which looks great and much nicer than the cherry burst version IMHO.
If i'm gonna let her go i'd say £450 plus a hard case (nice brown snake skin jobbie sahped so a perfect fit!!!)
if anyone is interested get back to me??
