Guild B301-F fretless bass from the late 70's for sale. I've owned this bass for the last ten years or so and have used it on many occasions for recording and live performance. This has a great, warm, woody tone. At higher volumes, the pickup does tend to become slightly microphonic.

As far as I can tell (not a whole lot of info about these basses out there...) the bass is as stock, bar a couple of items. At some point in the past, a previous owner has changed the control knobs to, I guess, Gibson-style knobs, and also added a thumb-rest close to the neck. The only change that has been made under my ownership is the change of the strap buttons to Schaller Strap-locks after those that came with the bass fell out of the wood.

The bass is in very good condition, but has been used and not hidden away in a collection. As such, is has a few dents in the back, and a little cracking in the lacquer near the headstock (no damage to the wood that I can see). I've always used flatwounds on the bass, but it did come fitted with roundwounds when I bought it. This does not seem to have done anything adverse to the fretboard though.

Bass comes with a hardcase and the fitted schaller straplocks.

Collection only from Portsmouth: £480.

Hi.

These basses punch way above their weight.

Not many players have had the chance of having a go on one but when they do. . . . . :gas:

May I suggest some better shots, show that the cracking in the neck is superficial
and not structural - you might find some takers.

These things go for £500.00 - £700.00 ish, so the price is about right.

These really are cracking basses.

That's my 2p's worth. :D

Cheers. :)
