chardbass Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I bought this bass on here as a back up to my main bass (also irrational GAS) but it just isn't getting the use I thought it might so it's time to free up some funds. I subsequently ordered a black pick guard from Jeannies as needed it to feel the same as my 'A' bass if ever I needed to slap- the bass was set up at The Gallery and has been played twice since. (The guard is held on with double sided tape so is easily removed) A Lakland case is included which has had a fair bit of wear externally but will offer protection in the case of a couriered delivery. The bass is virtually as new- I would describe it as in A- condition . Made in Indonesia with the newer LH-3 system and Lakland pick-ups. Price is [size=5][u][b]£690[/b][/u][/size] collected (unable to edit price or trade value) [attachment=145524:IMG_1881.jpg][attachment=145523:IMG_1882.jpg][attachment=145525:IMG_1883.jpg][attachment=145526:IMG_1884.jpg] Edited December 13, 2013 by chardbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chardbass Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks for the offer. I'm more interested in a cash sale tbh. Great bass u have there- I have an 80s Squire Black RW Jazz myself. Without wanting to sound like an old f*rt, they don't make em like they used to :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chardbass Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Just to point out, the Basschatter above didn't get to try the bass as we were too far apart to hook up. (And a bump) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Why is this still here?? A great bass at a fantastic price - the Jeannie's plate must have cost £50 on its own. I already have two 55-02's (sorry, showing off now) and I'd have this one as well if there wasn't a fair likelihood of a black eye from the missus if I did... Have a bump. Someone needs to buy this quick and save me from an ass whooping courtesy of 'er indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oskar Alex Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi! I'm curious about this bass, and since you own a 55-94 I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts on how these two basses stack up against each other. Was your 55-94 worth the extra money I'm assuming you spent on it, and if so, is it in terms of feel, sound, or a combination of the two?

chardbass Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm beginning to realise that no 2 basses feel and sound the same. I have owned a few 55-02s hoping to find a suitable back up and all 3 basses were different. I bought my 55-94 about 12yrs ago and it was a bargain back then but the price is subjective. In my opinion there is quite a big difference between the 02 and 94 basses contrary to what I've seen written- maybe if I tried another 55-94 I might think it was different to mine.

chardbass Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) To answer your question, it's a combination of the two but one is only a few years old and the other is much older and has been well played. I have no idea if that helps! This 55-02 is a bargain for under £700- a s/h 55-94 is at least £1k more I suppose.
