Wilcock 4P-51 (2020) for sale £1550 Birmingham/Smethwick

[samuelcroberts]

For sale is my Wilcock 4P-51. I picked this up second hand a little while ago, but this is a 2020 model from Viv Wilcock. I've recently received a Mullarkey, which I ordered ages ago, which has kind of superseded this bass for me so I'm moving this on. It's a wonderfully simple and fantastically made bass that deserves to be played. I've made a couple of modifications (see specs below) and there are a few marks on the front and back of the body, which I've tried to show in the photos - these were already on the bass when I bought it and do not affect the playability in any way. Just a great quality, simple, working bass. Comes with a Status branded Hiscox hard case (no idea why it's Status branded - just what came with it when I bought it!) and is currently strung with TI flats. These start at £2500 new and I'm looking for £1550 for this. I'm in Smethwick/Birmingham for collection etc.. Also welcome to come and try the bass out if you wish! Could probably ship in the UK, but I would ask that any potential buyer would arrange this themselves fully insured. I would prefer collection or meet up within a reasonable distance. Potentially in for trades for the right 4-string fretless, but would prefer the sale. Any questions, just ask. Thanks for looking!
