I was missing my 12 string and since I thought it would be a bit overkill for the wedding band I decided to get an 8 string but I can't get it to fit in anywhere so its now up for sale.
Its a shame cos after posting in the repairs and technical issues section saying that i couldn't get it set up to my liking, I managed to get it set up to my liking and have been practicing all week to make sure I could pull it off.
I'm literally just back from tonight's gig with it so haven't had the chance to take any pictures of it on its own but here are some pictures I recently put in the gear porn forum:
The truss rod cover is missing from the pictures as I had just adjusted the truss rod but it will be fitted prior to delivery/meet up or whatever.
The bass is a maple through neck with walnut strips and a rosewood fretboard with 24 frets. Considering its maple, its not that heavy and it balances very well on a decent strap. It has satin nickel hardware and a 2 band EQ. I changed the battery when I bought it to a decent Duracell one as it had one of those cheap and nasty ones fitted. The bass was made in Shine's Korea factory as its one of their top of the range models and everyone knows Korea is the new Japan innit
Its in minty condition and so it should be cos its new. I can't find any marks on it anywhere. It will come with a gig bag and I have a set of Rickenbacker strings I can include for an additional £35 (they're [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/1088-rickenbacker_8_string_bass_"]£49 from Strings Direct[/url]) otherwise I'll sell them separately.
As far as price goes, they're currently £385 delivered not including gig bag so I'd be looking for something of equal value new when considering trades.
I haven't a clue what I'd be looking for in a trade so try me and you might have what I didn't know I wanted
For a straight sale I'd be looking for around the £[s]300[/s] 275 mark ONO including postage to mainland UK
