The type I am looking for but not at European prices. It should be able to be rewired for batteries however being an older model I would not be surprised to see them die a lot faster than a newer series.

Additional cost of moving the selector switch an getting the battery power capability restored is a factor too. Sure is a sweet bass though. I hope you find the right buyer. wibbersengland Junior Username: wibbersengland Post Number: 29 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Wednesday, July 09, 2014 - 5:13 pm:    I only use by '81 s1 with external power. It sounds awesome and is way better than my '97 modern standard small body. Don't let the age put you off. My '81 is almost identical to this one. It's very special. teo Junior Username: teo Post Number: 34 Registered: 3-2010 Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2014 - 4:38 am:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6VqHxsrVr8 jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 4139 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2014 - 7:48 am:    Nice sounding bass.... :-) teo Junior Username: teo Post Number: 35 Registered: 3-2010 Posted on Monday, July 14, 2014 - 4:47 pm:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVPxpfa6k3g teo Junior Username: teo Post Number: 36 Registered: 3-2010 Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - 7:13 am:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVPxpfa6k3g new price 4500€ (Message edited by teo on July 23, 2014)
