GROVE GUITARS CUSTOM '51 P BASS "THE STAIRWAY"

[MOONDOGGY]

I bought this and the other Grove bass I have listed because they are just amazing unique instruments made with top notch components. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have these. But I now have other expenses that take priority. This bass was purchased NEW and I have played it very little. It still has the plastic bags over the tuners.

Here's the maker's website. Scroll about half way down on the Bass page to find this bass:

Any of you bassists thinking of this even slightly?!?

You always have strangest basses. I never would have thought You'd go for a bass in the 51 style.

I surprised myself in wanting these! I never thought I'd spring for a vintage style passive 4 string Fender-ish bass. I just fell in love with the looks and uniqueness of both of them.
