Again in response to questions, recently had a full professional set up by Ritchie Thompson, Thompson Guitars, Wigan. Ritchie is a wizzard. This included new 45-105 Status Premium strings, new Switchcraft jack socket, action/intonation/pick up set up. Cheers, Karl.

In response to questions, these were all Alder bodies. According to Fender forum most of Duck's legendary work was done on two 1958 Precisions, a maple board and a rosewood board. This is obviously based on the maple boarded one. One of these Japanese signature basses (presumably serial number 1 or 2 ) is glimpsed fleetingly in the hands of the Duck in The Blues Brothers film. Finally, yes, £550 in my eyes it's worth at least as much as a Geddy, or a Mexican 50's P bass. Cheers, Karl.

[quote name='andy67' timestamp='1337000777' post='1653733'] Did you swap through the Yamaha Attitude Facebook page? andy [/quote] Yup, with me Andy. He got that Blue Mark 1, I got Col's Purple X Anniversary. He's a top player and singist as well .

The three who wanted to but this on Saturday appear to have lost interest . The great man himself apparently had Serial numbers 1 and 2 of this bass, (Fender forum) this is number 231 of 1000. All made in 1998. No gospel, but I did read somewhere that three special runs were made out of the same factory in 1998, the first Geddies, first Marcuses and the only run of these. Obviously the Lee and Millers are still produced to this day, the Duck's aren't! Hopefully a real Fender expert may be able to confirm what I think I read (or deny it, in which case I will remove this gut feeling). Cheers, Karl.

Fantastic and gorgeous

Know what you mean, one of the guys I work with lives in Inverness itself and it is always more expensive to send stuff to him by Paisley Freight, the only area they let me down in. Possibly they think a new time zone starts at Perth . I will certainly get quotes from Parcel Force if it does end up going there, (mind, I'm in Dunfermline on Tuesday ). Cheers, Karl.

Thanks Hutton, wasn't aware of that. I will get quotes if needed, but I've always found Parcel Force to be more expensive and less reliable than Paisley Freight. Cheers, Karl.

An empathetic bump .

Sorry for delay, gigging last night. Thanks for the kind comments guys, and PM's replied in chronological order "(ooo er, get me with the big words ). Joe, you are in pole position, will let you other guys know, sorry. Cheers, Karl. Edit. Hells Bells, just seen the news about Duck

I withdrew this a couple of weeks ago due to my feedback taking a hit. Things happen and I find myself in a position where I need to fund a Lakland Bob Glaub or Duck Dunn. As a result this is back up. 1998 FENDER Donald Duck Dunn Precision Bass, Candy Apple Red, maple neck, board, anodised gold coloured scratchplate. Only 1000 ever made,Crafted In Japan. 150 made it to the states, the rest, who knows? I have not seen one on here in three years, nor have I seen one on FEEBay. Based on one of his 58's. Generally very good condition but the only previous owner (bought new from Oasis in Jan 1999) gigged it heavily and it does show a little. Issues. Some marking on neck between 4/7th fret, G string side. Gold colouring on scratchplate a little faded in parts. Bridge screws have some rust on them. Nasty little dink and a couple of scratches on top horn, front. Pick up is not original, as aren't pots. Its a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder SP3, The original pick up/pots are included in the sale price. Tuners are replaced with current Kluson reverse which are period correct. Again I have the originals and they are included in the sale price. 42 mm nut 7.5 inch radius, about 8lb 2oz. £550 collected from Wigan, £570 couriered after funds clear. This will include a tatty but perfectly functional Thomann hard case. Sorry, no PAINPal and definitely UK/Eire only (sorry guys but Scottish Highlands and Eire/NI will be more than £20 to deliver.) Please, any questions just ask, I need to get my feedback back on line.

The best P's ever made imho.

Excellent bass. Good luck, Karl.

Lloyd's and absolute top bloke and bassist and looks after his gear with slightly obsessive tendencies. Buy or trade, you will be happy. Good luck mate. Karl.

Buy it Muzz, so that you need some money coming in Bugger, just remembered you've just sold the Lakkie

I am on Sabbatical from commenting on here, however I'd Walk the Earth for this one. Pun intended. BIG fan! Off to find something to flog.
