gjones Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I saw this and wondered why he left the stickers on. If you decide to buy it, make sure they're removable and aren't covered with varnish, or something stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_nash Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Part of me just thinks that if you were to deal in this stuff all the time, you'd know to remove the stickers and be honest about the condition. You'd also make mention to the fact that it is basswood. The lazy voice in my head is saying buy it, basswood isnt bad, the stickers will come off and all the holes are predrilled for the bridge and the routing for the pickups is finished. Just pop the bits on and play. the relicing is fine as its for a "gigging" bass. Already used up my offers on this guy. Cheeky enough, his final offer to me was for £95.00 - and now hes selling it for less. Everything says no and yet - i might still do it.

phil_nash Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Is it just a bad idea. Should I just get a £160 alder polyurethane body from northwest guitars and leave this one be? I like a bargain but the seller doesn't strike me with confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Here's a pic. This is how it was (oops!); I've been looking for a neck to put on it, but the other option is to let the body go. The back has some dings. Edited August 19, 2017 by prowla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
