harryseven is consintently a gem for unearthing these shabby treasures.

Why, thank you, sir...

Like this, you mean?

It's not Brit, but hey...

Actually, drop me a pm...I may be able to locate something suitable, project-wise.

Goodness me, 27 bids !!! For that? I'm obviously in the wrong room. For a moment I thought it said the winning bid was £124.

@vale - this one needs a bit of fettling, but nothing too serious. Might be worth asking how straight the neck is, but it mostly seems like a duff neck pickup - which might be an easy fix, or you could just rip it out and put something cool in...! £74.99 and no bids.

That's not far from me…

It's in very nice condition too. But it has 6 days to go and it will sell for a lot more than that, I think. Even if the neck pickup needs rewinding it's still well underpriced as yet. The machineheads usually work fine with a little care in being strung and tuned correctly too.

@vale, if you're seriously interested in one of these, the shop has an abused Rapier 33 that will be up for sale once we've got it sorted - badly partially-stripped finish, and some hardware problems. If you want it as-is, I'll find out how much...

Now I can't believe all you fine Fretboarders have missed this beauty.  A project for the ages.  One to bring back to it's former glory.

Why mate? You bidding on it and can't wait for the week to end so you can win it?

Rox

No bids, so biding his time to swoop in at the last second with a lowball bid, I'll bet.

I saw a bullet bass at the weekend - it looked tasty and there was a twitch.. 

But, "my gas is over now"

Don't worry mate I'm just pulling your leg.

I have developed some rather irrational gas for one of these:

mikeyrob73

there are some strings missing on that one @Bridgehouse ;

i have to admit to having some irrational GAS for one of these at the moment as well
