Smash Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Right then, I never wanted to sell this brilliant Bass but as I haven't used it live it has to go. I believe keeping it in the case is pretty pointless so I am now putting it up for trade. This Groove bass was one of the last 2 ever to leave the factory, comes as active passive / switchable and runs from a single 9v battery. It has one tiny little graze on the top horn but that's about it, very good condition. Picture has been borrowed from previous basschatter, hope that's ok. Lookig at £425 plus postage no offers below this will be accepted. Edited April 3, 2009 by Smash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathewsanchez Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Where abouts are you? I might be interested in swapping [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30739&hl=status"]this[/url]. That's if fretless is your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a bargain comes up I will probably keep hold of it until one does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
