For more pics PM me I will try to get some better pics in Daylight? You can pick the Bass up from Ellesmere Port / Wrexham or Chester Services on M56.

Prosebass Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) Have a bump on me.... Would love to buy as it looks better than the one I foolishly sold earlier this year, plus the original case is pretty rare, and all for £20.00 more than a S****R Bargain.......probably one of the most underrated basses ever made, better than some Fender offerings with the same pup layout dare I say Its an 83 model if that helps.....25 years young Edited October 27, 2008 by Prosebass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
