karlfer Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Just taken this as a trade, most folk know what these are. Specs (there is a "features" tab) [url="https://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-road-worn-50s-precision-bass-fiesta-red-maple/19353"]https://www.gak.co.u...red-maple/19353[/url] Light weight at 8lb 8oz.. Bad bits; strings are awful there is no case or gig bag HOWEVER, I will provide the crappest Fender hardcase (no handle, beat to Hell, bust plastic, more road kill than road worn) to courier the bass in . £600 collected from Wigan, will meet up within 50 miles of Wigan at no extra charge, extra £30 UK insured courier. Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine. Feedback at bottom of thread. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

Marc S Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I've got one of these, in sunburst and it's amazing! I dithered about buying one for ages, and now I have mine, it's my go-to bass I never met Karlfer personally, but from what I know of him, the people who have dealt with him, and the messages we've exchanged and the help he's given me - I'd say he was a top bloke and good guy to deal with Good luck Karl - I'm sure it'll sell quickly .... Now if I wanted one of these in Fiesta red too....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1465572549' post='3069389'] Whenever somebody asks from Europe, my answer is always the same. I need payment making first, in Great British Pounds. This usually takes around 3 days to clear in the bank. I need the buyer to arrange and pay for their own INSURED courier AFTER I have informed the buyer of payment clearing. The buyer just informs me what day the courier will collect. It's usually around £60 I take no responsibilty after the bass has been collected by the courier. If I courier in the UK and something goes wrong, I can get in the car and go raise Hell at the courier's Head Office. I can not do that on the continent. I ask for these conditions to protect myself, as I was ripped off a few years back by an Italian. I was left with no money and no bass. I have feedback at the bottom of this thread. Members Aero71 and electriccheese have both bought by following the above conditions. It might be an idea to ask them what they thought of buying from me. [/quote] Very wise.

tom1946 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 You can use a computer?? I'm impressed I thought the wife did all that fer yer... just joshin' hey nice bass, what's the neck width on these Karl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks for the bump Tom it's 44.5mm or 1.75 inch, but they are quite a shallow C profile. For the terminally Guisborough-ish amongst us; go to post #1 open link on line 4 scroll down a touch to the box entitled features open that box On a more serious note, if this doesn't go in the next day or so, I will need to put up my 89 Fender Jazz Special. When one of those sells, I will be done. I've just been scammed for £280 plus a phone call to the States, that will probably cost about that as well. Absolutely nothing to do with Basschat, but my confidence is just so hit that I'm going back to phone/branch visit for financial stuff and just avoiding the internet. Second time I've been conned/robbed, reckon if I'm not on it will make it harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
