adledman Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) as above in metallic white. a few dings and dongs but not much considering its age. one chip on the rear near the pre amp pocket thats the worst. a top of the line slim super fast neck pointy head stock rock bass from late 80`s early 90`s. active pre amp with a jazz bridge and precision neck pick up. a bit of fret wear on the first five or six frets but still plays well and does not need replacement frets yet but would appreciate a fret stoning perhaps. i am waiting for a new nut which i will install as the current one is not right and the string spacing is awful. i got this on ebay recently and it was in a poor state but now is working perfect and with the new nut will be a bloody good bass. i was going to defret it but a twin for my ibanez came along so just going to knock this out now. i will start the ball rolling at £220 which is very low for a bass of this calibre and there is a very tidy one for sale at £510 here.
