lowregisterhead Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) For sale is a beautiful bass that I imported new from the States myself 3 weeks ago, and despite it being a truly glorious instrument, it's not for me... sadly I think I may have spent too many years playing snarling 5-string graphite things with preamps... Custom Shop 1960 (stack pot) light relic Jazz in Olympic white, matching headstock, gold hardware, mint green pickguard, rosewood board, the most beautiful birdseye/flame maple neck, brown tolex case and all the case candy - strap, lead, manual, certificate etc., as brand spanking new as a relic'ed bass can be! Light, at only a little over 9 lbs. Never gigged, been out of the house once to a rehearsal, fear took hold and I put it back in the case. £1800 (was £1995) (was £2250) SOLD SOLD SOLD....

All good stuff, but this one is undoubtedly a little extra special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Trades would be considered, not just basses, but any powerful high end amplification (would be good if it can cope with a 2 ohm load...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
