Offers around £3000



My 'best' bass, reluctant sale, but I play it so rarely, and I'm increasingly veering towards vintage ply basses.
Bought this from Peter Tyler in Maidenhead 4 years ago.
Punchy, articulate airy sound, light weight and beautiful body.
It had a big accident in the past, but all fixed up properly: 1997 restoration in Cape Town SA - details pencilled on the inside by luthier include major damage to lower bout, new f-board, bridge, end-pin and soundpost.

Pictured strung with Innovation Honeys, but supplied with Spiro meds.
Bass location: West London, UK.
