At the end of the day, Mr King is a f@#ing maniac.

I love him and his music. 

😬

My very first bass.

What a beautiful set-up.

Oh I know, but if the wood isn’t stable, the truss rod won’t fix it. The story goes, so far as I remember, that John bought a dodgy batch of wood sometime in the ‘80s, hence the issues some experienced. Others may be able to expand on this. 

That rings a bell, I since learnt that John replaced the truss rods and did the remedial work.

Will trade for a second hand combo of similar value, ie, £880 new or £350 as I rate it in used condition.

I’d rate it at 7 out of 10.

Get in touch if you think you may want this.

The problem with mine - and I understood all the dodgy ones - wasn’t the truss rod but a rogue batch of wood. 

Hiya, I can get with that but the necks were 5 or 7 piece, with a lovely ebony board,

I ordered a white pearl Mk II, with neck and headstock binding, funk groove.

It came with a pink Jaydee t shirt in the case.

It was one of John’s notorious basses that had crap truss-rods. I was never able to set it up with a low action, banana neck.

This was 1988 and John charged me £795, binding and case.

I would buy it back in a heartbeat and get John to replace the truss rod and whatever else to get it up to spek. 

It did however record beautifully and  many engineers loved its tone.

I miss it so bad.

 Best post.

The Guvoner.

Just seen this. You snooze you loose.

Steve. 🤗

Will you mail this?

Yes please.

£30 inc postage.

To clarify, this is the Double, 2x12” @4 ohms, non neon speakers.

£888 at Thoman.

For sale or part ex is my Glock 2x12”. Great condition, collection only, or if PXed, looking for a nice 500 watt+ head.

Let me know what you propose.

Steve.

£350, collected, or a nice Mexican Left Handed Jazz Bass as a swap.

Steve.

Will swap or px for an amp of same value.

Fingers crossed.

Back up for sale.

Steve.

Used to be mine I believe.    I'm surprised it is as heavy as 66lb!

This is now withdrawn.

Steve.

Cheers Woody.

Its a beast.

£350, would prefer collection.

Steve.

Up for grabs is my Aguilar DB680 preamp, including Aguilar footswitch.

9/10 condition.

Collection, because of the valves.

Cheers
