I've changed my mind about selling this bass more times than a 78 year old might about setting up some trade tariffs, but its time to make some space.

Per £ this is probably the best bass you can buy.

I modified the headstock to get a more Tele-bass-esque appearance so the HB logo has gone (sorry Thomann!). Its not quite Tele shaped but it is very close to the tempate I downloaded. The headstock is finished in a satin varnish and I added a fictitious maker's logo (I think Seido means Precision in Japanese).

Apart from the headstock mod this one is like new except for a couple of tiny thumb nail sized indentations on the neck that are barely visible and certainly can't be felt whilst playing (see pic with the pick).

How about £90 posted, £75 if we meet up at say any London mainline station.

Cheers, Mick

If I was in the UK, I'd have your hand off. It's exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm in Germany and with all the customs duty etc....

 

Bummer!

This is definitely worth the asking 👍

 

I did a similar headstock reshaping to mine, which suits it perfectly. I also changed the scratchplate to clear and tinted the neck to a more amber shade, and it really looks the part to me. GLWTS!
