holy hell that's sweet!

Gotta say...I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing selling this.

GE, probably no trades. An American L-2500 with the right top might interest me.

Scrunks, the price is at the bottom of the post.

I would also consider a Deluxe P V trade.

Are those pole pieces adjustable in terms of height?

Hey baba - that's cool if you don't want to ship international, but I always scratch my head at this and was wondering if you could explain the problem if the buyer is cool with paying for the shipping? I'm going to put some stuff up for sale and was wondering if I need to limit it to CONUS. Isn't international shipping just a question of filling out the label and a higher cost, or is there some further hassle?

Thanks.

It's a hassle I don't need often involving customs, removing the neck to reduce size, extra cost, unknown processes, etc. I also like knowing I can drive to someone's house with a bat if needed. (just kidding

I believe so as you'll notice the TV Jones Thundertron pickups have flat head screw slots on the top of the pole pieces. I can physically check when I get home.

...this is an awesome bass in every respect...seriously versatile too!...love it...

Talking as someone in the UK who has bought stuff on here, international shipping is the same as normal shipping (perhaps with the exception of neck removal due to some carriers not carrying complete bass sized packages). You get your parcel to the couriers and then you spend the money on new kit. There are no unknown processes. The buyer pays import tax at their end. That is not your problem.
