** THIS BASS NOW UNDER PROVISIONAL OFFER - ENQUIRIES STILL WELCOME**

I can't keep all my basses. I'm never selling my B+H, and now I've fallen in love with a '38 M-2 ... and so, one of the most spectacular examples of vintage American plywood in Europe (the world..?), is on the market. It's just too nice not to play...

Clean, pure, controlled, powerful sound, no buzzes ... ah, it's impossible to describe sound I know ... listen for yourself here (http://www.myspace.com/bigalandthefireflys) (acoustic, into cheap vocal mic .. probably a bit close, sorry).
