I'm surprised this is still here, even if it did just go up last night. Probably the most stunning bass I've seen, IMO. If I thought it would be around long enough I would be after this. Just beautiful.

He hasn't been on the site since June 26th so it's probably gone. Might be best to pm him.

A "you owe me a beer dude" kinda bump

My old girl. Fabulous LOUD amp, Italian made, with a mute. Daisy chain two cabs and hire out for illegal fracking. Bargainus!

Absolute bloody steal at that price. Top cabs!

Erm, yup, I have no doubt of that! Although I'm not a fan of rosewood, I know how good a bass this is and I am desperately tempted. I'm guessing from a thread on a "social media site" a certain maple boarded, green burst multi knobbed (oooh err missus) bit of splendidness is heading your way

Well done that man! Means I can put the one I have up next week, with a bit less competition

Please take this as constructive advice. It's now a bit of a jumbled, slightly confusing thread. Certainly to an old git like me. Might be an idea to let this thread die, get it locked and start a new one, with pictures actually in the thread, rather than links. Lovely looking bass, great price, less common maple board with MOP style inlays, splendid. The only reason I'm not in is that it is typical Fender Japan weighty Ash pushing 11 lbs. Fabulous for tone, but not old shoulders. Good luck, lovely looking bass.

Paul, you MIGHT get a mail from a guy called Nicholas from FB. He is a genuine guy that MAY be interested.

Lovely bass and I'm tempted, probably like a good few others. Might be an idea to inform folk if it comes with hard case or gig bag as was asked a little earlier. And total cost for bass/case/shipping to mainland UK. GLWTS

Thought they were still making these, but had switched from Japan to Mexico back end of 2012? Anyway, regardless, if you are heading back north to family at anytime, might be an idea to bump the ad a few days before, you might be able to meet a buyer on route, or have one come to Birknhare

Serves me right Congrats on the sale Colin, cheers, Karl.

Do you still have this Colin?

It is indeed a bargain, but there may be a couple of reasons it is still here. Sherwood Green is not everybodies colour. I love it, but I don't like sunburst. Think the main thing, with the greatest respect, is no courier. Whilst I am very tempted by it, I'm not going to do a 400 mile round trip I'm afraid. I'm possibly not the only one. Good luck, it is lovely.

Sold and thanks for all the interest folks, cheers, Karl.

Erm ,hate to be the bearer of bad news Mark, but today (even in Wigan) is Monday. Have a confused bump

Seen this. It's gorgeous. Ash, sod off tempting me, I'm getting sick of the bloody roadworks near your gaff

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1441016062' post='2855272'] Very nice - I do like a red bass. Nice to see another Rickresourcer on here as well, LOL! [/quote] Ssssshhhh [quote name='Tonci' timestamp='1441038003' post='2855551'] Neck is clean? (no dings&dongs?)... [/quote] It's a very nice clear satin neck with a good rosewood board. The neck does have a few brown patches like you can see behind the second fret. They are part of the wood grain, under the satin and with it being 15 years old, would guess they are unlikely to be a problem, just a natural part of the timber this was cut from. My feedback is linked at the bottom of all my posts. Cheers, Karl.

This is the bass Ash had up last week, I took it in part ex against one of mine. Not desperate to sell, but I'm not a fan of Red (except Fiesta) or rosewood boards (except on Road Worn Jazz ). So, it's year 2000, very good condition, couple of little bits on the back, I've shown the worst in the photos. These 1996-2001 series do have decent write ups and quite a few fans. Weight just on 8lb 14oz. Hot Rod Red is not a colour you see every day. Corona made, through body stringing available, graphite strengthening rods in neck. Good low action, plays very well, slightly scruffy but fully useable Stagg hard case included. Will talk trades but please have a look what others of your type of bass have sold for £650 collected from Wigan. Extra £30 insured courier mainland UK. Sorry, no PAINPal due to being robbed 5 years ago. Any questions or non obligatory trial in Wigan. Appalling photos alert. Cheers, Karl.

Off topic, Powerbas, might be an idea to put your Thunderbird up for sale here. OZZY138, that is a most excellent classic looking P with great mods and Mark's attention to detail. Sorely tempted, bet it's great to play. Good luck and bump.
