Madness

[quote name='birdy' post='537359' date='Jul 10 2009, 05:37 PM']Depends how keen you are to sell in my opinion. I have one the same but 3 band eq and we valued it at £700 as part of a trade. £600 could be reasonable if you want to get rid. Steve[/quote] Sorry maybe I did'nt make it clear - I am the potential buyer

I've been offerred one of these with a case. It has a few dings, maple neck and the transition style bridge, 2 way pre-amp. I've been offerred it for £600.

+ 66 = 1809

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='509374' date='Jun 9 2009, 06:41 PM']Nice one - I think you got a great deal on it at the price it went for. If I'd had any money and a forgiving missus I'd have been bidding against you.[/quote] PM me when you're ready and I might be ready to sell

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='508655' date='Jun 8 2009, 10:33 PM']Is that the one that was on ebay last week? If so - good to see you got that stones sticker off it.[/quote] Thats the one

[quote name='beerdragon' post='508417' date='Jun 8 2009, 06:29 PM']That looks nice,not sure about the headstock though. how does it sound?[/quote] Sounds very nice - woody edge to it - although the piezo is un-bufferred so its not very useable, but there is a modification that can be done to improve things. Yeah, the headstock is a bit thrash metal, but i kinda like it

No PMT here, just a lovely Fender HMT in black. Lace Sensor magnetic pup and piezo in the bridge.

Don't want to be a party-pooper BUT I understood that the world wide recession/depression that has hit the UK and USA is now, after a lag period, hitting other countries such as Australia, NZ and South Africa. Only last week I was told the story of a heavily qualified master carpenter who 6 months ago had his arm bitten-off by the Australian's to go out and work there, but having put all the forms in some 6 weeks ago, they are now not interested. Hope it works out for you.
