Clarky Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Specific trade alternative: I had a deal to buy a fretless Precision but this has fallen through overnight. Hence I would trade this bass for a fretless MIA Precision (eg Tony Franklin) in sunburst or oly white (not maple neck) if anyone is interested Edited January 25, 2011 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Actually, its a bit painful trying to sell a nice bass in this market and - given the lack of interest - I am withdrawing for now. I will try re-selling at some point in future on BassChat or eBay Edit: so much for my 'creative' payment plan idea!!!!!

Clarky Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 FYI, this now on eBay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130480030819&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url] Should any BC'er want to buy this (at the £750 price discussed in this thread) I will of course remove the eBay listing (assuming no bids have been received) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Two days to go on eBay, 15 watchers, no bids ... the usual Special deal for BC'ers (also recognising that to get ultra-low action this needs a pro setup, which might cost £20-40) how about this for £700 cash?

Clarky Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) ... or £350 now and payment plan as above for balance of £350? Will also post in lots of bubble wrap and a cardboard guitar box (sorry, no case) to non-South East BC'ers (17 watchers now and no bids ...)

Ou7shined Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Stick a Sue Ryder neck on it (preferably maple). It will inevitably sell in minutes, then sell the buyer the original neck to fix the problems of the Ryder neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 £700 for something that beautifully versatile is a steal and at that price definately a gig-able bass too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Played the bass again this morning. Actually there's nowt wrong with the action, its just that it has a big 'ol neck so that by the time you are in the stratospheric heights (!) of the 12th fret its really quite a handful (much beefier say than the Pino feels). For those who like a big 'ol neck this really is something of a steal at £700. So here's a fat neck bump Edited February 4, 2011 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 £700 gets you a lot of bass guitar for your money ...

Clarky Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Sunday morning bump. Lovely bass but neck is too chunky for me (despite OP, I now have a P/J incoming but this has a slimmer neck profile).

I live down in the depths of Kent (Dover) I could be interested in the Fender, but would need to try before I buy. Thats if the 57 reissue that I am looking at on Ebay doesn't come my way.

Couple of weeks before you could do so I'm afraid So sounds like its best to see if you snaffle that 57 on eBay first! Cheers Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
