karlfer Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) [size=5]£550 collected from Wigan (or meet with 30 miles, or sort/pay for your own INSURED courier), [size=5] [/size][/size] My last Road Worn, link to specs here [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-road-worn-50s-precision-bass-fiesta-red-maple/19353"]http://www.gak.co.uk...red-maple/19353[/url] There is currently a used Fiesta Red RW P on Facebook at £750, and a used Sunburst RW P on Feebay at a mind boggling £850. So I think my price is pretty good. £550 collected from Wigan or sort your own courier. You are looking, you know these things have a great reputation. This is from the 1st year of production, 2009, and it's light at 8lb 7oz. Obviously road worn, but great condition. It's the last of the three I had, which must say something Fender Deluxe gigbag included. My embarrassingly long feedback linked at bottom of all posts Thanks for looking. Cheers, Karl.

Roger2611 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Fantastic bass, I have the sunburst version, it is every bit as good as their reputation says they are GLWTS
sblueplanet Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 If you take some wet + dry sandpaper to the right places onthe black AV57 RI body it could look as tasty as this one?

Marc S Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Wow. I just keep coming back to look at this beauty I've not played a RW P before - I have a RW Jazz, and it's my fave bass ever This would look so good alongside my Jazz Wish I were a bit closer to you, so I could at least try this bass out .... then again, it's Christmas & I've already spent loads - so maybe it's a good thing you're a long way away? lol GLWTS for an amazing looking bass, at a good price

karlfer Posted December 18, 2015 Author Posted December 18, 2015 All further PM'S replied thanks folks. Offers of two different US G&L's in one day Both rosewood boards , but both GREAT looking, quality basses. And a happy Christmas to you to Phil
Highfox Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 They are very special basses, mine usually gets the nod ahead of my 69 and 74 P. glwts.

cameltoe Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Could spec a Musikraft neck for this at 1.625", for around £250. Hmmm..... Edited December 22, 2015 by cameltoe
karlfer Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 I'm in touch with a couple of guys on here who are interested. There's 2 guys on FB who say they will get back to me on 31st (pay day). Must admit cameltoe, your comments have got me thinking about a Mighty Mite jazz neck, and some lollipops

Mine is an early one as well, and the thing just seems 'alive'. Very light too.
LewisK1975 Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Yep love my sunburst roadworn P - here's a link to it being used in anger in an old band. Sound is pants, but you'll get the jist if you listen with headphones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb9NMRana34
itsmedunc Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 This has got to sell soon or I'm going to have some explaining to do!
karlfer Posted December 25, 2015 Author Posted December 25, 2015 Lot of interest Dunc, but it's the usual, folk needing to sell to fund. I am fairly optimistic it will be gone by 31st Dec. My other two road worns went in roughly 24 and 48 hours respectively. Sale only now I'm afraid
karlfer Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 All further PM's replied, thank you. Between here and other avenues I've had 17 offers of trades and 32 questions. Almost tempted to run a book on the 1st one to come up with the cash on 31st Anyway, decision made, if it's not gone by around the 2nd, well, that will be 3.5 weeks advertised, which to me is a sign to retire it under the bed for a few months. Many thanks to all that have expressed an interest so far, cheers, Karl.
itsmedunc Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I very nearly had a bitter fuelled moment with this last night!

[/quote] That refers to Saturday then. I had some bitter moments on Saturday as well. Namely the 3 hours it took to do J22 to J20 westbound on the M62 . Hence the delay in replying to PM's on Saturday. Anyway, all Sat/Sun/Mon PM's now replied to, ta very muchly
MB1 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 MB1. Seasons Greetings! ....Post Edited Please Note All Trades and offers NEED to be PMD to the seller Not posted on the ad.
