Having been told at the start of last month that I had a buyer for the cosmo black set he's now backed out, so they are back on the market.

Good golly miss molly, that is lovely.

I love this bass, I really do, but I must thin the herd so like the 66 Jazz this one must go. This is a beautiful Martin bass from the early 1990s, most likely 1992 with: [list] [*]solid spruce top and truly stunning solid Indian rosewood back and sides [*]cutaway on the lower horn [*]unusual oval soundhole [*]Fishman pickup under the bridge (no volume or tone controls) with output jack in chrome tailpiece [*]white and black binding [/list] Really nice and unusual example of an early Martin acoustic bass. Fantastic condition apart from a small crack in the lacquer by the cutaway (you can see this in the picture). Comes with original hard shell case, plus a Martin leather strap, Martin polish and polishing cloths, original hang tag and spare set of bridge pins. Currently strung with Elixir strings. Lovely tone to this bass both acoustically and plugged in. It's quite loud as well. Aiming for [b]£800[/b] plus whatever shipping is needed. No low ball offers and no trades thanks. Gareth

That's not to say that nobody would be, but for something like this, people are often very picky. A refinned pre CBS jazz is going to set you back (if you can find one) about £2300 - £2800 so you're in that ballpark. It looks like a great bass, and even if it's just a visual first impression, i tlooks like it would knock spots off a custom shop reissue. The neck itself looks beautiful, 66' is one of the best years for Fenders as collectible legend goes... If I win Lotto Euromillions I will buy this bass off you and love it. I will also then amass the worlds greatest collection of vintage Fender Jazz Basses, but that's another story! This is a promise and I will swear by it![/quote] I agree with pretty much all of this. Bravewood, while they are great basses, are not that well known in the UK let alone overseas, so I can understand buyer apprehension. It really is a great bass, as you say the neck is to die for, and I'm aware that 66 is considered a great year. Thanks for your comments. Helpful and constructive. Cheers Gareth

I'm just putting it out there... Cheers, L[/quote] I know, but it's such a great playing bass that seems a real shame...

Sensible offers considered, but the way it's going I'll be holding onto both these beauties!
