howdenspur Posted October 15, 2016 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?

Thor Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Wow that's an absolute steal at that price! If I didn't already have one ..., GLWTS😎
howdenspur Posted October 20, 2016 Author Posted October 20, 2016 Some interest, but this beauty is still here
howdenspur Posted October 23, 2016 Author Posted October 23, 2016 Bump it up! I'm travelling from Yorkshire to Devon next weekend (28/29th) and back the following weekend (5th) if that helps with any delivery quandaries
