It is indeed. I bought it from a forum member in 2005 so it would be good to be able to pass it on to another member.

A bass player on Facebook living in Vietnam wants to buy my bass and has given me the address if his friend's music shop in California that I can send the bass to. Anyone know of it in Westminster California?

Westminster is an area in Orange County just south of LA.  In fact, you'll be about 10 miles from there when you play Anaheim on August 26th...  This neighborhood is referred to as "Little Saigon" (even by Google maps) because of its large Vietnamese population.  So although I don't know how shipping a bass from the UK to the US gets it any closer to Viet Nam ... I would say that contact info is most likely legit.

Thanks Jimmy, i guess the shop will forward it on to Vietnam via their preferred shipping company, but then that's two lots of shipping and insurance costs for the buyer.  But I will try to find out how much it would cost for both places and let the buyer choose, if they are serious. Interesting that since I posted my message about an interested buyer, a member of is forum from the USA has also expressed interest. So we shall see what transpires.

New year, and reposted up for sale on Reverb.
Any interest from members here, drop me a PM especially if there is an opportunity for a trade based around a series II  short scale in dark wood, a 3 or more pickup Spectrum or Orion guitar.
