Hi guys! Squier P-Bass Special for sale. Price = £120 The case in the pictures is [u]not for sale[/u] at this price as I would probably prefer to keep it for my next purchase. I have tried my best to find another purple one online but I can't. As far as I can tell it is the original colour but I am willing to bow to an expert! I am tempted to mention imagine playing live with a big purple beast in your hands but that would be juvenile. Bought off a careful lady owner. She gigged a lot but luckily that was just on the fiddle (as in violin, not 'cash in hand' type of fiddle) and she never learned the bass. This means it has sat in a hardcase for about 6 years. Looks like a 1999 version made in Indonesia (SNIC99....). I have gigged it twice and it has a good P-bass growl, J-bass meow and appropriate blend when required. I am trying to trade up but would also be happy to keep it to have it as a starter or second bass. [u]Are There Any Issues?[/u] Buying 2nd hand I always like a truthful description, so here goes... I have looked very carefully at the bass from every angle and there are no major dings or scratches. There is the tiniest fleck of purple paint missing (about 2mm) at where the neck meets the lower body. I have never noticed it before I gave it the old once over today. There a few - almost imperceptible - marks/non-penetrating scratches on but nothing deep or obvious on the back of the body. I could not describe the marks as being buckle rash unless whoever owned it first wore a rubber snake belt. When the tone pot is rolled right back near where 'zero' would be, there was a small crackle that disappeared when WD40 was sprayed on. If I was keeping it long term, I'd open her up and give it a better clean. In summary, on ebay, this would be described as a 10 year old bass in very good condition. Location, location, location - Paisley Not sure if I have the expertise to post unless someone fills me in on the tricks of the trade so I would prefer a pick up or meet.

Free of charge: I'll give you £50 the lot! Joke - best of luck selling.

Ahem... [quote]Guidelines for SELLERS 1. Please use the forums correctly – listings must be put in the correct sections not least because people will not be able to find your item. The ‘Other musically related stuff’ forum should be treated as such – no selling furniture or exhaust systems please! Items related to bass playing and music in general are fine. 2. Please provide pictures with your listing, or show your intent to do so. It will help people judge the accuracy of the advert and help you sell the item. If pictures are impossible, if you can’t get someone to lend you their camera, you should allow viewing of the item. 3. These forums are for selling USED items only. If you are a trader then get in touch with a moderator who will be able to help you. 4. Moderators will step in and remove fraudulent or otherwise dodgy items. If there are any concerns or questions please PM a moderator. [b]5. You must state a price for your item. Anything without a price clearly stated will be subject to removal.[/b][/quote]
