I recently picked this up as part-ex for a bass I was selling. The previous owner had it imported from Japan and during transit it received an unfortunate knock to the lower edge of the body causing some of the finish to chip off. The binding has been professionally repaired by String King at Greenwich, although the previous owner decided against having the area repainted.
Apart from this the bass is in very good condition, with a couple of light dings to the front of the body.
Hardcase included (not Fender).
Collection from Dartford preferred but happy to meet up. Alternatively I can pack it up for shipping if you want to arrange a courier.
John, I'm Only Dancing. Not because I was a Bowie fan at the time, but because it just happened to be transcribed in Bassist magazine.
Thinking back, I learnt to play it before I actually heard the song!
Bassbros is the only place that have offered me decent prices, when buying my basses and taking them as trades. I learnt a long time ago that the "big" shops are never going to offer what you hope for. That's not a rip-off and honestly the idea if leaving a Trustpilot review because you took umbrage at a low trade offer is a massive overreaction.
I can only assume all other instruments drifted out of tune to exactly the same degree. Mine goes out of tune if you look at it funny.
Actually, mine's a Longhorn (!) so not quite the same bass 😁
