Paddy515 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Is £650 not a bit of a bargain for this 20 year old with origonal case? (Ignore the £899) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) If it's original and technically OK, I'd say it's a very good deal. And it's a 2eq, so that's a plus (imo).

Chiliwailer Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Great price. Check the back of the headstock for the made in San Luis Obispo decal, if it’s not there then it’s a Jap Export model, which I think is still US parts. Pickguard looks changed, might be worth a peek at the preamp too, and check from soldering etc, to ascertain the pickup. Probably not an issue, but never know...

pineweasel Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 A decent buy at the original price, but at £650 that's a steal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ignore the £899) A 1998 honeyburst 2 band with original matt black pg, and very probably a figured maple neck (birds eye?), AND OHSC? For £650 that's a steal if all original. If my place wasn't already full of MM basses I would have bought that!! Btw, those who prefer the 2 band pre amp, try a Stingray Special - I prefer them to my 2 bands - same sort of tonal area but more versatility - they done a great job on them 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The RBV has gone but there is a German Warwick double $$ 5 string for £499 there. It could do with respray but if you are not bothered then it is an awful lot of bass for the money. Some nice guitars there as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the originals being white on this colour - could be wrong though. Edited December 1, 2018 by Chiliwailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen honeyburst (colour name from late 90s onwards) with black or white pg but as you say, not single ply so that may not be the original. Easy to replace with a matt original spec one from Chandlers though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
