Quatschmacher Posted November 14, 2021 Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Only had this a few weeks. I’d picked it up partly to see if I had changed my opinion on maple boards. I haven’t; they sound great when others play them but I prefer rosewood. I have one of these in Olympic White with a rosewood board and I simply prefer the sound of that, so no need to have two of these basses. It’s in exactly the condition I received it in, which is absolutely outstanding. It was only ever played at home apparently. It was bought new from Guitar Guitar in July. Had a luthier setup and is strung with a new set of Rotosound flats that are just starting to break in nicely. It’s a difficult colour to capture on camera. These pictures are reasonably close but it looks a fair bit greener in the flesh. Weight is 4.29kg. Collection from Sheffield preferred but could drop off around Yorkshire or somewhere along the motorway route between Sheffield and Bath (on the M42, M5, M4 corridor). Postage is also an option as I have the original box, but being around for a courier to collect is more problematic, but not impossible. Price is firm and is as cheap as I’ve ever seen these come up for. No trades - need money for other stuff. Any questions, please drop me a line. Edited January 6, 2022 by Quatschmacher 13

spongebob Posted November 14, 2021 Posted November 14, 2021 No problems at all, Peter! Fab bass that I'm sure another BC''er will cherish. Although I take zero responsibility for the carpet in my pics. That was here when we moved in, LOL! 😁 1 1
Quatschmacher Posted November 15, 2021 Author Posted November 15, 2021 Forgot to add, this will also come with the original mint pickguard.

bigthumb Posted November 28, 2021 Posted November 28, 2021 IMO It looks stunning with that white scratchplate.

It’s actually mint green, but yes, I love that look. I just don’t want to be cack-handed in trying to swap it myself as I’ve not opened up a P bass myself yet.

Quatschmacher Posted December 6, 2021 Author Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) For a more accurate colour representation I used a Pantone colour match card with their app. They give this: It does vary a fair bit depending on the ambient lighting conditions. Edited December 6, 2021 by Quatschmacher
