[quote name='bigthumb' post='616670' date='Oct 4 2009, 05:48 PM']This is such a great opportunity to own a true vintage refinished or not. £1500 is a steal! Do you take credit card or in need of any vital organs? :brow:[/quote] Credit card can be arranged sir

[quote name='silddx' post='616629' date='Oct 4 2009, 05:16 PM']Oh dear, me too. I would love this I think. So tempting, I can't afford it, I would need a loan and probably a new wife [/quote] You know you want to

[quote name='Wimpy' post='616627' date='Oct 4 2009, 05:15 PM']thanks for your offer but I'm not Precision guy :-)[/quote] Always worth a try sir

[quote name='Wimpy' post='616609' date='Oct 4 2009, 04:57 PM']Thank You Matt![/quote] You are welcome and if you would consider a swap for a refinished 1964 P-Bass, you would make me very happy Take care my friend.

[quote name='silddx' post='616615' date='Oct 4 2009, 05:01 PM']A wonderful sentiment, not that I needed any faith restoring though.[/quote] Thank you

Good luck with the sale my friend. If only.......

[quote name='Jase' post='616582' date='Oct 4 2009, 04:26 PM']Goregeous bass Matt, brilliant condition too! Good luck with the sale.[/quote] Thanks Jase and hope you are well sir. Catch you soon.

Anyone? It really is a beauty and it does have to go. Let me know guys and gals. Take care. Cheers, Matt

Hi everyone, After much deliberation I have decided that this bass does have to find a new home. The initial experience of finding it was a refinished, obviously, disappointed me but that still doesn't change the fact that the money is needed now and this beautiful bass that has been with me for 22 years will have to help fund the things I need. I am still prepared to let it go for £1500.00 which will include a full flight case in that price. I am also prepared to deliver within a 75 mile range of Cardiff or if someone wants to collect, then that is great with me. I hope someone will want a piece of history for their collection and give it the home it deserves. Thanks for listening and any questions, you know where I am. Take care. Cheers, Matt P.S. Would possibly look at a trade for a series 1 Yamaha TRB6 plus cash or a series 1 Yamaha TRB6 JP plus cash. I wouldn't be looking at any other basses I'm afraid. P.P.S. If you are an overseas buyer, then I am only looking for a direct sale - no trades plus cash, plus the shipping is to be paid for by you and added to the final cost of the bass. Thank you.

Hi, I was wondering if this bass still for sale? Thanks.

[quote name='Monz' post='600205' date='Sep 16 2009, 01:50 PM']OK last bump before it loses its frets Price can't go any lower so now is the time if you are thinking about it... Would make a great starter bass or back up 5er at this money[/quote] PM Sent.

A beauty of a bass, have a BUMP!!

How about swapping this beauty for a re-finished 1964 Fender P-Bass?

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='593508' date='Sep 9 2009, 01:10 AM']Fully agree with what has been said - Matt, if it were me, I too would hang onto it. My father has a Strat from the same year and he has had people make numerous offers on it (it too has a refinished body in fiesta red!) and he is going to hang onto it as you say, its got history etc being a 45 year old instrument. However, if you want me to take it off your hands for an indefinite period (re: valuation!) then you know what to do!!! Takes about ten to twelve months....! Cheers! Nick[/quote] Thanks again guys. I am definitely going to hang on to it and see what happens from there. Catch you here again, very soon and take care. Cheers, Matt

Hi Molan, Luke, Pete and Bigwan, Really appreciate your comments. I think it is best to see what it is actually worth and not just let it go for the sake of it. As I said, 45 years, man that has to worth something I will keep you posted when I know more but in the mean time, I have found a great place here and will definitely be partaking more and more and maybe get involved in gear I know a lot more about i.e. modern 6 string basses Thanks again to you and everyone who has posted, you all ROCK!! Good night and catch you soon. Cheers, A more informed and slightly drained Matt

Hi everyone, After the mad day today, which I sincerely thank you for, I have decided, after some long, hard thinking that I am now not going to sell this bass. It is 45 years old and worth much more than £1500.00 in my mind. You can buy a top end USA Fender Precision Deluxe for £1400.00 and that has no where near the history of the bass I own, so I think it is worth far more than £1500.00 even it has been refinished. I'm sure you all understand my thinking? I'm going to get it valued by a couple of dealers and see what they think. If they say it is worth only £1500.00, I still won't sell and will sit on it for a bit, if they say on the other hand that they reckon they can get closer to £2000.00 then, I will definitely change my mind. Sorry about this, but it has been a mad day for me Take care and thanks again, you have all been brilliant. Cheers, Matthew

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='593120' date='Sep 8 2009, 06:00 PM'] This one and hardcase is for sale for 120 quid but open to offers[/quote] Thank you for that, I will pass it on to my mate. This is the one with the patch bay in, yes? Sorry to ask again. Take care. Cheers, Matt

[quote name='RhysP' post='593121' date='Sep 8 2009, 06:02 PM']I've met Matt a couple of times through a mutual friend (though he won't have a clue who I am) & he's a really nice bloke. He's also a bloody good player & his band The Reasoning are excellent.[/quote] Hi Rhys, Thank you very much my friend, really appreciated Just jog my memory sir, when and how have we met and the next pint is on me Take care and hopefully catch you again soon. Take care bud. Cheers, Matt

Hi, how much is this board going for, I have a mate who is after one. Thanks and take care. Cheers, Matt

[quote name='Kev' post='593021' date='Sep 8 2009, 04:34 PM']Your a good man Best of luck with the sale, i think that is a very reasonable price and, cliche i know, if i had the money i really would go for it, gorgeous [/quote] Thank you Kev and totally understand mate

OMG, I would love to have this bass. What a beauty Good luck, I wish I had the money so much!!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the very kind words from you all. It is appreciated and means a lot. I would hate for anyone to think that I was ever trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes, that is just not me and I really posted everything about this bass in good faith. Thank you for understanding all. I will keep you posted. Take care. Cheers, Matthew

Hello everyone, here I am again. Right then, I have been reliably informed that though the body and neck are an original, they have been refinished. I want to take this opportunity to apologise to you all, I REALLY thought what I had bought was the actual finish and I promise you I posted everything in good faith. With this is mind, I obviously have to lower the price but the bass has to go. If anyone is interested, then I will knock £1000.00 off the original asking price and take £1500.00 for it. It is still a 1964 pre-CBS bass after all and it does sound amazing. Thanks to everyone for all your help and advice, it is appreciated greatly. Take care. Regards, Matthew
