One Drop Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) This is one of the fairly rare early PRS basses, only made for a few years late '80's early '90s. Famously used by Robbie Shakespeare on all his modern recordings, and often live. They sound huge and clear, and feel great to play with the fairly flat radius fretboard and nice comfortable body shape. They balance very well sitting and on a strap, too. For more information about these basses, scroll to the bottom of this page: [url="http://www.prsguitars.com/csc/models.html"]http://www.prsguitar...csc/models.html[/url] This one has the Metallic Blue finish, in great shape with only a few tiny dings, I would call the condition overall Very Good +, and I'm quite cautious describing condition. Brazilian rosewood fretboard, moon inlays, solid mahogany body, rock maple neck, and a nice weight at well under 9lbs (4kg). All original except for one pot that I had a tech replace a few years ago, it's a no issues bass set up to play currently wearing Labella flatwound strings. Comes with original hard shell case. For more pictures, see here (some of the photos were taken in bright sunlight and show dust and weird reflections- the darker ones show the real condition much better): [url="http://s19.beta.photobucket.com/user/adamr63/library/PRSBASS4_MetallicBlue"]http://s19.beta.photobucket.com/user...4_MetallicBlue[/url] [b]Yours for £800 plus shipping [/b](€1000 or 1200 Swiss Francs). I take Paypal or bank transfer, and anyone near to French speaking Switzerland is welcome to try her out through my SVT/Bergantino rig. Thanks for looking!

One Drop Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 [quote name='funkle' timestamp='1355664472' post='1901049'] 32" or 34" scale? I can't tell from the PRS website. [/quote] You know, I never thought about this, always assumed it was 34" length. I will measure it when I get back to the house, in a few hours, and get back to you. Thanks for your patience.

One Drop Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Sorry for the delay, things got a bit hectic here. Scale length is 34", and the bass balances very well on a strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Yeah cool beauty. Wish I had spare cash. Good luck with the sale Edited January 6, 2013 by Rasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Drop Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Watcha know, Rasta! Thanks for the good wishes, and to you, Stance. It is a killer bass for reggae. I like the way it gets a quite modern huge sound with zero mud, kind of in the Steinberger camp tonewise, but still has a lot of J bass type wood and growl in the there.

One Drop Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks juice! They were heading for collector's status and going up in price, but the current market put a brake on that, thankfully for anyone looking for one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
