Sorry for the late responses all. A mixture of hectic work and broken internet left me unable to respond. The bass is still here for anyone interested. I won't ship because I do not trust a single company to deliver it in one piece. In fact, if you check back through the basschat history, I once drove a bass from Wigan to Cheltenham as a personal delivery to avoid shipping it - this was in a period where time and petrol money was in abundance

Hi all, It is with great regret that I have to 'hang up' my bass playing for good. Working with computers, being an avid gamer and playing guitar/bass heavily for years has led to numerous problems, and a combination of carpal tunnel and RSIs has forced me to tone back this type of activity as much as possible. So I have for sale my trust Vintage V950B five string. It's a really nice finish for a budget bass, with a bubinga body. Active electronics with a P+J config (Controls are: Volume/Pickup/Bass cut&boost/Treble cut&boost). View some additional specs [url=http://www.stagebeat.com/Vintage-5-String-Active-Bass-Guitar-Bubinga-V950B-2658]here[/url]. The bass itself is in very good condition, with no obvious dents or marks. The current setup isn't too bad, but I think the bass would benefit from a setup (action is a touch high on the B string for example). The strap and gig bag shown in the pictures will be included. Shipping: I will not ship this bass. Local pickup is available in the St. Helens area, and I will of course be willing to deliver in the North-West area/meet half-way for no extra charge. Any further questions, ask in here or PM. Regards, Karl [attachment=143704:IMG_2716.jpg][attachment=143705:IMG_2717.jpg][attachment=143706:IMG_2718.jpg][attachment=143707:IMG_2719.JPG][attachment=143708:IMG_2720.JPG][attachment=143709:IMG_2721.JPG]

How much?

Ah, the Peavey Dynabass, my first bass, holds a place in my heart

Cheers for the replies Very interested in the bass, however I'm slightly bothered that I'll miss the active "sound", as my last 6 basses have all been active!

Hi mate, how's the low B on this?

Sold, and now bass-less Cheers

[quote name='treguard' post='941990' date='Sep 1 2010, 01:08 PM']Hi. I'm definitely interested, but do you mind if I ask a couple of cheeky questions? Are you selling to upgrade? Don't want to leave you without a bass! Are you still able to travel in the North West? The problem is that I don't drive and live in Manchester. I don't know if it's easy for you to go to? Will it be sold stringed up or will I need to buy some? £140 is a bargain though admittedly [/quote] I'm selling as, at the moment in time, I'm no longer in a band, I'm having some troubles with an RSI in my left wrist and as mentioned earlier the money will go towards some tyres I've just bought for my car Manchester is fine, I'm of course still able to deliver. There are strings on it, they're in relatively good nick, but they are indeed used, so depending on how new you like your strings you may wish to whack some new ones on there. If you're still interested, may be worth taking this to PM if you want to take it further Cheers, Karl

Very thin neck, it's really quite a comfortable bass
