I used to have a retail store, but don't anymore. I got a deal on these because they can't sell them much anymore because they got a little too close to the original design.

Not much to say about this that you probably don't already know. This is a P - Style bass made by Copley. These look really close to the basses they are "based" off of. I'm not going to pull your leg and tell you they are as good as the real thing, but, they are good, solid basses. Like I say, I'm always a bit too honest, especially to folks I know, so, I want to tell you what the weak points are on these basses.

The electronics are run of the mill Chinese quality along with the tuners. I've played these and haven't had problems gigging them as they are. The tuners do what they are supposed to do and so do the electronics, but, you might want to upgrade. See, I told you I'm a bit too honest - maybe that's why I don't have my retail store anymore! The rosewood also felt a little "dry" to me but I lem-oiled them well and they seem fine. Just a tiny bit of fret-sprout but not bad. Have any questions, shoot me a PM, or e-mail me at monteanderson@live.com

$150 + actual shipping. No gig bag included, but I can sell you one for $20. I really like the gig bags. They have about 6mm of padding. Here's pics of the bass. Let me know if you want pictures of the gig-bag.

By the way, the color is closest to what the first picture shows.

Take Care,

Monte

Anyone want to make an offer and help me get rid of this older inventory? if not, I might have to do the un-thinkable and turn it into a project mystery relic bass that will only convince people who don't know much about older instruments. I promise I won't sell it as something it isn't if I do decide to relic it!
