Sagawa Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) [size=3][b]For sale here is a Bass I bought years ago with the intention of upgrading pickups/electrics etc, but never got round to. Wish I had, cos it would be a BEAST. Born in 82ish in the Matsumoku factory. P&J pickup config, thru-body stringing, Thru-neck construction, Solid bridge, Brass nut, 24 fret neck ... Not sure what wood is used but it feel solid etc. Always intended whapping some EMGs in there but I guess I took on too many projects which swallowed up funds ... booohooo, poor me. Anyhoo, for sale here is the whole shi-bang minus the pickups n pots (which were in a pretty poor state. In fact, you can have them too if you insist.) Dunno how much these go for cos I've never seen another for sale. Howzabout £350 ONO?.[/b][/size] Edited August 24, 2011 by Sagawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen another Custom for sale tho. Wish I knew how much it was worth ... Mind if I ask how much you bought your Standard for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) I have a battered but functional Vox Standard which I like a lot. I saw a Standard in good nick go on Gumtree recently (February) for £150, I think. Edited August 15, 2011 by alyctes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monckyman Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Mine was £199. But it was 30 years ago. Here is the Standard on ebay, not doing too well. Perhaps the subtle string guides aren`t to everyones taste. A bargain though, as they sound and play great,especially for rock with the P pickup at the bridge position, but are bloody heavy being all Maple.
