howdenspur Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) This is a thing of beauty, but alas it’s not getting the play it deserves so I need to move it on... This is a Gretsch G5440LSB (ie long scale bass) in orange which I bought new in early 2014. It is in very good condition and comes with a soft ROKSAK bag. At the moment, I would prefer pick up from DN14 – just off J37 M62 – due to lack of a hard case, but could consider delivery/meet up. Would also consider trades with cash adjustment for Fender Road Worn or Limelight Precision or Jazz. But WHY?
