hi folks

I picked this up on here recently and whilst its a very nice bass it just reinforced that I wanted a "proper" Fender P-bass, and I can't justify both so I'm moving it on again. Kim Deal played the same model in the Pixies (see video below), it really is a nice sounding thing. 

This is a bass from the "legendary" Matsumoku factory, with some specs here: http://www.matsumoku.org/models/ariaproii/bass/csb/csb.html 

I've been led to believe this one is a 1981 model, maybe one of the Matsumoku geeks could confirm. 

The neck on this is in fantastic condition given the age. Its 32", and remarkably comfortable. On the downside, the body is dinged. A lot. Its not a case queen, please check out the photos---has been used and abused by some barbarian at some point! But honestly, the neck doesn't seem to have suffered! (see pics). 

It comes with the original case. Its not in the best nick, but I think its pretty rare to find a forty year old Matsumoku bass with the original case! Also, remarkably for an old case it doesn't smell like someone died in it. (:D)

I still have the box etc that this was shipped in so whilst I'd prefer collection from Burntisland, Fife I can ship it if required. looking for £300
