LZD56 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Stunning black Retro-J bass in immaculate condition. Rob Green told me (have the email) that this bass was built in October 2001 - you'd never know to look at it! Bills to pay so selling. Pics below. Asking price £850. Let me know if you have any questions. Also listed on statii site. First post here after lengthy absence. Bass was bought from a member here - forget his user name; think it was before site moved to new server. I was the original owner of the Kingbass no. 5 prototype, which I sold to Morgan! Thx.

OutToPlayJazz Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Very nice bass & similar to Merton's The graphite scratch guard is a nice touch as well. Best of luck with the sale! Edited November 13, 2009 by OutToPlayJazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Argh, I emailed Rob about a Retro a few weeks ago! Looks a beauty, but if I went with one from Status, it would be passive Good luck with the sale! Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Walk away from the bass Rich, I repeat, walk away from the bass. Seriuosly, this is very nice, I'm so pleased it's a cash sale only because I have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZD56 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Thanks guys! She is a real beauty and the graphite p/guard is a nice touch. It's 18v with an active/passive switch - jazz on steroids (where have I heard that before?!!) cliche but true!. Just not playing bass much these days, so pointless locking her away from someone who'd appreciate her more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Cracking bass. I have an identical one without front dots and without the scratchplate. I remember this one being for sale coz it was up around the time I had mine built. Someone will get a stonker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
