    Further PM's replied. Despite it being up for a month, it will not be getting reduced. £700 is a VERY fair price in my opinion, for a bass as good as this. Or you can get a new one for £1150 . The scratchplate would help you spot the difference Cheers, Karl. Bass in use last Saturday night at The Griffin, Earlstown (fat ugly git alert) [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/1526289_10152133118283739_599193755_n_zps459ba547.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/1526289_10152133118283739_599193755_n_zps459ba547.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    OK the chap coming round tomorrow night can't make it so a bumpo. A bass of this quality for 2nd hand Mex price . Rude not to

    Fabulous Andy, if my Yam Att Spec goes and this is still up I'll happily have a jaunt over Snake or Woodhead

    Frankly he needs shagging with a ragman's trumpet!

    Copy of mail I sent yesterday, with no reply. Shame really as he set up a few months ago under two different names and has had some nice gear in. Most of it reasonably priced. Smeg, and now with link [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181293611403?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649"]Fender Precision Custom Bass - Japan Mid 80's - Reliced![/url] [color=#000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=2][b]Dear cotswoldbassguitars,[/b] Hi there. If you take the neck off, the body will have a stamp, for example PB57-OWUS, which would be Precision Bass, 57 re-issue, Olympic White, US pick ups. It is possible to trace the kind of wood from that code.The heel of the neck would also have some info, although it is most likely only to be a production date. A photo of the neck pocket would be great.[/size][/font][/color]

    Particularly Jason who is selling this, and is a member here.

    Stunning bass . Couple of questions. 1. What is the weight please, it is important to some of us. 2. No doubt it is just light reflection but it looks like the hole for the micro tilt is painted over. It also looks like there is some white paint on the rear of the body where it meets the neck? Cheers, Karl.

    Guess it's the "friend" she's selling it for, that took the neck off I just don't get it TBH . A couple of years back, yes, these did seem to be an investment but not now. Even at £400 it's going to cost a good bit more, even if only time, to sort. Each to there own.

    [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1389039389' post='2329221'] OMG that bass must weigh about 5 stone with all that paint on it lol but on a serious note it is a lovely looking bass and the black scratch plate looks awesome it is another one of those basses that should not still be here and it is very fairly priced GLWTS karl [/quote] Still the lightest of my 4 basses despite it carrying a new 4.7 grams of cosmetic surgery

    [quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1389026993' post='2328991'] Damn this is tempting, is that the original woofer? If any of my currently for sale basses go I may not be able to resist... [/quote] Yup, original Yamaha woofer. The woofer cover has three layers of black Humbrol paint and two layers of Hard As Nails nail varnish on it, to match it to the black scratchplate

    Bloody hell Chris, that vid brings back some memories. Used to cover the city from a little warehouse in Dalmarnock. Great song, nice bass. I've gone all nostalgic teary
  13. karlfer
    All a matter of want. JV, £700 US, 2011, £700. No competition for me, US every time. But, that's just a personal opinion as unlike some I haven't tried every bass produced

    £700 for this? Ask what you like but jeez, some folk do insult.

    I mailed him, he said he's turned down an offer of £850. Which is fabrication or muppetry.

    It was classed as Sky Blue on this series, but mine looks little different to Sonic Blue. As usual for these kind of blues, they look a bit green in some lighting. Looks amazing with brown tortie
  18. karlfer
    Patina? Beautiful plumage. Wonder why he's had to put it up again If he did his research he would see they generally go for £400/£500. Still, re-advertising it every couple of weeks for the next decade will give him something to do.
  19. karlfer
    Jeez, that's a steal. I wouldn't let my 9 month old Super 12 V go for less than £700. And even then only if as a last resort to raise urgent cash. Somebody get in quick!

    Tell ya what, if my Precision goes and this is still up, I may be in trouble again . Fab bass, good luck.

    [quote name='Talbo' timestamp='1388531828' post='2323225'] Thats a bit aggro, have you been drinking!?? Pics tomorrow. Not sure what the deal is with needing an exact weight!?! The official weight is 4.10 kg - I dont have a set of scales in my house AT ALL, so I cant weight the bass to the nearest gram Sorry! [/quote] Neither aggro or drinking, find both comments rather offensive to be honest, but hey, I haven't got a £2200 bass to move. Happy new year to you.
  23. karlfer
    To be honest Talbo, if you want somebody to spend £2200 you are going to have to make a bit more effort. I say the following to help you. Photos. I certainly wouldn't spend that amount without decent photos. Weight, ask girlfriend, wife, her mates, see if they have luggage scales. Ask a fisherman you know if they have any scales. Piece of ribbon/cotton tround the nut, gently hang off scales. Good luck with your sale, I would say it's a great bass but I've not actually seen it.

    Thanks fellas. When the retail price of these was £600 in 1995, the USA Fender Precision was selling for about £650 new! So whilst they were a more affordable version of the Attitude LTD, they weren't exactly cheap. Have a great Hogmanay folks. Cheers, Karl.
  25. karlfer
    Final bump of the year. Funny thing basses. An admittedly rarer, but Japanese made Harris Precision sold for more than I am asking for this , Have a great Hogmanay folks. May your liver's survive.
