Julian Cope's NR Bird for sale.

Julian Cope's NR Bird for sale. It looks great but it has had a headstock repair and it is expensive. It does look the repairs have done been pretty well though.

I thought this would be his doubleneck. I'm not a huge fan but my ex was/is. I wish I could get this. One because it's a nice bass, and two because it would piss her off!  ;D

Easy George  ;)      Sad to say it looks like I'm about to go through similar to what you've just been through  :sad: 

Nice thing about good Basses is that if you love them they will give it back to you unconditionally.

I'm sorry to hear that. I truly wouldn't wish it on anybody. You're right about a good bass though!

That is a drag sorry Bret. Considering not to long ago a couple of nice unbroken NR IIs went for around 2k I think the opening bid is a bit optimistic.
