Here is my CV 51 reissue P Bass. I've owned it for about 3 months and realised that it isn't ever going to get played. I must keep out of music shops, I was SO taken with how well and loud this is. It's just a stunning bass and you could gig anywhere with it. Here's the spec: Squier’s Classic Vibe Precision Bass ’50s delivers an authentic ’50s-era bass experience in sound, look and feel. The basswood body has a eye-catching Lake Placid Blue finish, and its custom “original” single-coil pickup delivers warm, earthy old-school Precision Bass tone. The gloss-maple neck has wider (1.65”) string spacing, a 20-fret fingerboard with a modern 9.5” radius and open-gear tuning machines. The four-saddle “HiMass” bridge makes the instrument easily user-friendly for setup and playability. Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precision Bass Features: Body : Basswood Neck : 1-Piece Maple, Modern “C” Shape, Fingerboard : Maple, 9.5” Radius (241 mm) No. of Frets : 20 Vintage Style Frets Pickups : Custom Original Single-Coil Precision Bass Pickup with AlNiCo 5 Magnets Controls : Volume, Tone Pickup Switching : None Bridge : 4-Saddle HiMass Bridge Machine Heads : Open Gear Tuning Machines Hardware : Chrome Pickguard : 1-Ply White Scale Length : 34” (864 mm) Width at Nut : 1.65” (42 mm) Gak have them for £319, they may be cheaper elsewhere but can I ask that you don't litter this thread up with discussions on prices please. If you have anything to say please PM me or whoever. Thanks. Check my feedback, I am safe to deal with and my gear is always as described. Looking for £235 delivered, it really is brand new and it's had a setup by a legend I don't have a gigbag, it didn't come with one, sorry. No trades thanks. Thanks for looking.

Then to see it here the next day for £750, he thinks he's been mugged off. Thats business, but I'd like to think it's not the way business is done round here. I've spoken to Dave privately and he did not intend to cause offence or upset, especially to Slaptone and he was under the impression that people regularly sold basses to make profit here. He asked me to make sure this matter is smoothed over, and having spoken with Dave in the past about other basses I do believe he is a genuine bloke who simply made an error of etiquette. Like I've said before, we all use this forum so we might as well do our best to ensure we give good deals to each other as it's ultimately to our benefit when we grab bargains here.[/quote] and there it should rest

There is no law to prevent the seller from divulging his sale price. It's a free country oh hang on, it USED to be a free country

I'm looking for one quite seriously but I wouldn't buy this on principle, and I suspect not many others would. Good luck with the sale.

Final price drop to £600 delivered. I won't go any lower.

pic de pic?? I won't buy anything unless I see good pictures of the real thing

And the price is?

how much did you sell it for in the end?

Ok cheers.

Part ex with a MIM Jazz +cash? Must have a maple board though....

Are the pots etc' by CTS? is it a fender body? Will it take a standard jazz neck? thanks.

Pleased, thank you Fran

pm'd I'll have it sir.

You must buy it, you must buy it

Missed it Come on someone give this gorgeous bass a good home

Steven! how are you? hope you had a nice christmas mate. I used to think 2 tone sunburst was dull but as I matured into a man I realised that it's really a very cultured combination for those in the know I'm trying to buy a bongo that's on here.
