The history of this bass as far back as I know it is:

Andy Baxter http://andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=715 sold the bass to psychoandy in the summer of 2014 with "one careful owner".  

I bought the bass from psychoandy in November of the same year. 

So it's had three very careful owners. It's no longer quite as pristine as when it arrived to me: there is some buckle rash, a shallow 1" scratch in the lacquer on the player side lower horn (I can't get a decent photo but if it's a deal breaker I can post what I have) - and the output jack has a tendency to work loose.

I am selling because I need to liberate some cash for a project (non-bass) I'm working on, and whilst this was once my 'go-to' bass for all occasions, it has fallen out of favour. I have a 5-string Metro that ticks many of the boxes this does, and my four string of favour is currently a yamaha BB2024.

It comes in the hard case it came to me in (as pictured on the baxter web link) and I am prepared to ship at the buyers expense and risk.  Local pick-up from Chertsey, Woking or central London is preferred. I am also willing to drive to meet if it's a reasonable distance (for some petrol money).

Please feel free to ask questions. The only trade option is a beaten up old Fender USA precision valued at less than £650 + remainder of cash my way. That may be a pipe dream, let's see. Sensible offers considered.
