alanbass1 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]Up for trade is my Fender Custom Shop '58 re-issue relic telecaster. This is a 2008 limited edition in white see thru blonde. Equipped with a Nocaster bridge pick up and twisted tele neck pick up, a soft V neck and heavy relic finish. Comes complete with case, COA and ashtray bridge cover and strap. [/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]This is a great playing and sounding guitar but as I also have an original '56 tele and a DeTemple tele I thought I'd see if there is any interest in trading for a bass.

mike257 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Stunning one, this - I bet she sounds amazing. I don't think I could part with one like this, looks like a lifer to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbass1 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks, she does sound and play great, but I have an original '56 and a DeTemple so this doesn't get played - which is a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Chunky V necks have to be my fave, I don't mind U necks either - really beautiful guitar (especially the bodygrain!!) looks comfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbiffa Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Now what is obviously missing from your collection is an exceptional Gibson EB3 lovingly refinished and set up by the one and only Bass Doc of this parish ! Could that be of interest? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanbass1 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Reckon that no-one will pay cash on what I think she is worth which is why I'm looking at trading - this cost me £2,400 in 2009 and I wouldn't sell for less than £1800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Out of interest, what is the fretwire and radius on this model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbass1 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Features include a heavy relic'd lightweight 2-piece lightweight ash body, thin skin nitro Nocaster blonde finish, '57 style soft "V" shape maple neck, 9.50" radius, Dunlop 6105 jumbo frets, '51 Nocaster bridge pickup, Twisted Tele® neck pickup, 3-way switch, 1-ply white pickguard and aged chrome hardware Edited August 23, 2012 by alanbass1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Not that the 7.5" radius is a problem on a Tele (frets seem higher than on a strat) it's far better having the flatter 9.5" radius for playability. I have a G&L where the V neck profile is the same all along whereas the Fender American Vintage '57 Stratocaster Reissue went from a V to a C profile behind the higher frets (both very nice indeed) but which is your tele like?

alanbass1 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) It's a soft V that morphs into a C shape as you get further up the neck. Feels great and sounds even better, man I love tele's Edited August 24, 2012 by alanbass1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbass1 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) I also have a Marshall Class 5 amp in very nice condition (home use only) that I could throw in with the Tele for the right bass Looking for a real nice fretless or possibly a Pino P Bass. If you have a vintage bass I have other real nice gear and some cash to make a deal Edited August 26, 2012 by alanbass1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
