Yet another UK 4005

Post by bob_atherton »

I think this is a great bass. I don't like the F hole as much as the slash though.

Only a very few of these export models (3261) with the F hole and I personally prefer it over the slash models. There was one of these in Italy too at some time and the J/G that was featured here at the forum a long time ago.

Someone here should grab it...

Chris, I'm happy to be a go-between if you want to have a stab at it.

Chirs, another thing you might do is what I do. Just have Fedex pick it up for you. Hard for the seller to object to that.

Now you see it, now you don't??? What's up with this listing? Usually if the item has sold before the auction ends the listing shows that the seller ended the auction early because the item is no longer for sale, or it has been sold to the current high bidder. This one's now showing as an "invalid item", which usually happens once the eBay Police get involved. Something smells fishy!
