Nickytwister Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Back for sale, last price - £1395, no offers or trades thanks. Nov '79 body, Jan '80 neck, tobacco sunburst with a rare rosewood board. It's all Chic on the back pick-up, kinda Gibson EB2ish on the front. The two combined give a slightly sweeter version of a Stingray's tone. Control knobs are (front to back) Volume, Treble, Bass. Mini switches are (front to back) 3-way pick-up selector, phase switch and treble boost. It's got a few knocks and dinks as you'd expect, a new set of bridge mutes (I've still got the original melted ones!) and Schaller strap studs. Collection only, sorry - it's got no case. I'm based in London, SE9 Any questions please get in touch. Cheers for looking! Nick Edited July 6, 2011 by Nickytwister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have a case; I don't want to send it but I'm prepared to meet up/deliver depending on area. I'm based in London, SE9. I'm looking for around £1495, no trades please but I might well haggle! Any questions please get in touch. Cheers for looking! Nick[/quote] Bad timing, otherwise I would be on my way east right now. Best of luck with the sale mate. Hope all is well. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to sell but I don't have much choice. I've got two lovely 70s Fenders at The Gallery too, and the Fretless 5 on this same forum. Still buying Lottery tickets though!

However if it were a firm sale I would organise a courier and send it to you for £15; I'd have it really well packed and insured. I wouldn't sent it to be viewed though, sorry - it'd have to be sold in advance. I hope this helps. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanEzz Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 That's a wondrously filthy thing you have there sir, If only someone would buy my TRB (shameless plug) i'd be all over it. Saw Mark 'seagull' Harrison at the weekend, he told me Lovetrain 5 a side would have Carwash 5 a side for breakfast...challenge?

Nickytwister Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Those dates are really nice; that's about the time Bernard & Nile were recording Diana Ross' 'Diana' album; Upside Down, I'm Coming Out, My Old Piano etc. A great time period for funky bass! Things are starting to ease up a little; I've sold a Stingray5 fretless and a '78 Jazz; when the '78 P goes I might well hang onto this. I'm keeping my '69 & '75 Jazzes, my '73 P and my Stingray5. Still a pile of basses but I do use all of those for specific things! N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
