jonsebass Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Guy Pratt Betsy Bass for reluctant sale. Owned from new for about 18 months, but played probably less than 20 times so it is in as new condition. I only took the plastic off the pickguard a couple of weeks ago. EDIT- there is a tiny c shaped mark on the back that I've tried to picture. Other than that, it's immaculate. It's a jazz bass, active EMG pickups, and well.... It's burgundy mist (not pink!) which looks amazing! It was setup by the London Bass Centre prior to shipping, and it's currently strung with Stadium Elites medium gauge strings. If you're looking at this ad, you know exactly what it is that it does, and boy does it do it well. If you ask me, it's missing a £1 off the front of the retail price, so £475 is a complete bargain. Selling to fund my daughter's private education (don't ask!) Video of me doing my thing with it here... https://fb.watch/jKSfqeToqz/ From a smoke free, pet-free home, always stored in the LBC gig bag (supplied) and well looked after generally. Can supply an Antony Scott leather strap too if that's your thing. Collection preferred from South Derbyshire (home) or Leicester (work) or happy to meet within a reasonable distance. I can post and have an internal and external guitar box, but postage to be discussed separately. Any collector is welcome to try before they buy, with no obligation. Here are the specs from the LBC website...
