[UrbanKarma]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Just professionally set-up, and electrics tested but the string were not replaced as these one sound great on it.[/font][/color]
Reasonable condition, a few front dings and the headstock has had a repair at some point but this must have been very well done as it doesn't affect the tuning stability at all. I've tried to capture this in one of the pictures.


[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm selling this on behalf of a friend who a session player who[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"has too many basses and guitars" needs some room and is having a clear out.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass is therefore for sale only, no trades.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Please don't email asking who's it is or post guessing, he want's to stay anonymous hence asking me to do it for him so please respect his wishes.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I will however inform the purchaser and a letter of provenance can be provided.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Other than that please ask any questions and I'll endeavour to get them answered for you.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]If you want to come and try before buying I'm based in South London.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I will ship internationally insured on receipt of cleared confirmed Paypal or bank transfer.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The asking price is £1675 but if you can collect and pay in cash there may be some room for negotiation.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm also soon be listing the following on his behalf:[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]2 x Sandberg 5 String Basses[/font][/color]
