Hi Phil,

Thanks very much for your detailed reply.

Yes, I would like to come over to check the bass out myself, but unfortunat=
ely I live quite far away, so my only option on this one would be to take a=
 chance on having it delivered.

I'll have a think about it and get back to you.

Thanks again for your help.

Dan

Hi Dan,

Good to hear from you.

I've just given it another good look over and other than a handful of
tiny surface marks I can't spot anything else. Because of the nature of
the pickguard there are some light marks but this is me being really
picky. We would still expect this on a new model from Fender as they
don't ever come through absolutely flawless.

The frets are finished nicely on this on this one. Balance wise, it
feels good to me but personal preference. Sorry that might not help too
much. You are welcome to come and give it a try out. We have a showroom
is Leamington, Warwickshire. Open Tuesday to Saturday 11am-5pm.

Kind Regards,
Phil
