karlbbb Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi all, It is with great regret that I have to 'hang up' my bass playing for good. Working with computers, being an avid gamer and playing guitar/bass heavily for years has led to numerous problems, and a combination of carpal tunnel and RSIs has forced me to tone back this type of activity as much as possible. So I have for sale my trust Vintage V950B five string. It's a really nice finish for a budget bass, with a bubinga body. Active electronics with a P+J config (Controls are: Volume/Pickup/Bass cut&boost/Treble cut&boost). View some additional specs [url=http://www.stagebeat.com/Vintage-5-String-Active-Bass-Guitar-Bubinga-V950B-2658]here[/url]. The bass itself is in very good condition, with no obvious dents or marks. The current setup isn't too bad, but I think the bass would benefit from a setup (action is a touch high on the B string for example). The strap and gig bag shown in the pictures will be included. Shipping: I will not ship this bass. Local pickup is available in the St. Helens area, and I will of course be willing to deliver in the North-West area/meet half-way for no extra charge. Any further questions, ask in here or PM. Regards, Karl [attachment=143704:IMG_2716.jpg][attachment=143705:IMG_2717.jpg][attachment=143706:IMG_2718.jpg][attachment=143707:IMG_2719.JPG][attachment=143708:IMG_2720.JPG][attachment=143709:IMG_2721.JPG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkin Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Dammit - I'm the best part of 200 miles away If you'd post it, I'd have it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 hey barkin, if you like, i could pick it up and post it to you. You'd cover shipping though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkin Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sorry for the tardy reply - don't know how I missed this Thanks for the offer Tommorichards...very kind of you, but no longer required. I was looking for a cheap 5-er just to see how I got on, but following a chat with the bass player in a band I saw last night (who I kinda know to speak to but not somebody I'd have called a mate) I've got a Yammy on the way on 'borrow it for as long as you like' terms I guess this is a bump...

JamesXP Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 might be interested in this if its still here in a few weeks! doubt it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) just out of interest why won't you ship? get a box from a bike or guitar shop, take a couple of turns off the string tension, pack box well and robert's your senior male relative. i've shipped or had shipped to me over a dozen basses and none have taken any harm. i imagine this would have gone by now - to me if no one else - if geography wasn't a barrier.

karlbbb Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sorry for the late responses all. A mixture of hectic work and broken internet left me unable to respond. The bass is still here for anyone interested. I won't ship because I do not trust a single company to deliver it in one piece. In fact, if you check back through the basschat history, I once drove a bass from Wigan to Cheltenham as a personal delivery to avoid shipping it - this was in a period where time and petrol money was in abundance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
