kwmlondon Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Bit more info... It's not mine (I'm VERY sorry to say) Belongs to my dad's mate and he bought it new. He's retired from playing now and is moving his bass on. It'll be heading to The Bass Gallery shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be going to The Bass Gallery. They'll have to take the neck off and get the scratchplate and pickups out to take photos and stuff. I just thought I'd share some pics before it went off to some collector somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guessed that but that doesn't mean you can join the pub quiz team! Unless you know a lot about sport - I'm rubbish at sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwmlondon Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 3 minutes ago, Reggaebass said: Aren’t you tempted to get it yourself , at a family discount of course 😁 Ah, well, I really REALLY want Arthur to get as much as he possibly can for the bass - he nees the money and I trust The Bass Gallery to do him right. But, I will admit part of me is thinking "why not offer him 15% less than the Bass Gallery would put it on for - he gets the same amount and I'd get a vintage bass for less than the going rate" but honestly. No. It's lovely, it really is, but I'm just not a collector and I'd never use it. I own three basses and that's too many for me - I'm actually getting rid of one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
