Hi,
finally getting around to selling this beautiful bass - i'll put it up on ebay on Thursday 18th, but thought i'll let you guys know first. I'm looking for around $2500.

Adam, you seem to be located in the UK.  Is your bass one of the quilted maple versions, or a walnut?  How would you describe the condition?  Also, if you were to ship to the US, how much do you think that would cost?
 
Thanks-
Bob

I saw some pictures and this is a walnut model.  Any of you EU players looking should take a look.  Beautiful top on this instrument!

How do the anniversary electronics differ from series 1 ? OR maybe the better question is are they similar to any one electronics package ?

It's more like signature electronics with a pickup selector and two volumes rather than a volume/pan.  Plus, there's the option of running the pickups in stereo so that they can be processed and powered separately.

It really sucks that this is in Europe....
 
As much as I don't want to deal with the worry of an omega cut, I'd make an exception for this bass.

Omegas are pretty strong.  If you drop a point it dents the point.  If you drop a flat bottomed one, it drives the strap lock into the body.  Just don't drop the bass and it all equals out.

Pretty nice bass, really.  Even has the paperwork and strap locks here.  A little metal polish and lemon oil and it would look just spiffy!

Any interest in taking a nearly new Status Kingbass standard as a partial trade?

Hi,
thanks to poor_nigel for doing that for me. It looks like the exchange rate has got me a little confused. In sterling i'd be looking for towards ?2000 ideally. If not, then its gotta go anyway, the highest bid will win. I know i'll miss it when its gone - its the finest instrument i've ever possessed.  
 
cheers,
Adam

More than a little confused, I think...
 
?2000 is a bit over $3700 US, and that translates to $4000 or so including shipping to the US.  I think one or more of us would have been really unhappy if we concluded a deal at $2500 US plus shipping.

I would have been unhappy - the buyer would have been jumping for joy ;-)The same bass went for ?1950 on ebay recently - again sorry about the confusion, i'll stick to ??'s in future.
 
cheers,
Adam
