Kolstein Busetto travel bass SOLD


Recommended Posts

I got this a year or so ago from Mr_Bassman (Keith). Its aesthetically wonderful, absolutely fantastic to play in the house (superb, rich acoustic sound) and very transportable compared with a full-sized DB. Selling (see post below, dated 2 September) as I want to buy the removable necked version of this lovely instrument for added flexibility on travelling. This bass was previously owned by Dave Swift, Jool's bass player. It has been played by other BC'ers if you want an unbiased third party opinion (eg, Greg, aka gcordez)

Comes with padded gigbag and also a hard glass-fibre (I think) hard case. Fitted with Kolstein Heritage steel strings and a choice of Planet Wing or Bassmax pickup.

I traded it for an Eminence with Mr_Bassman as part of a complex deal at an assumed value of £3,000 and I am after the same value given the rarity of this bass this side of the pond.

Here is my bass being played by Dave Swift, who owned it before Mr_Bassman [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2jCG3ZR3wg[/media]

Many thanks for the links Keith. I can't believe how lucid my OP appears given I had been out for a heavy (birthday) evening :)

I did wonder if you'd even remember posting at 1.40 am :lol:

And another clip, this time of Miroslav Vitous (Jaco's predecessor for those that don't know him in the earliest version of Weather Report). Its arco for three minutes (pretty unlistenable if you ask me), with pizz from that point on. But it does give a representation of the sound:

Moving this beautiful instrument back up for sale again as Mr_Bassman (aka Keith) is selling his removable neck version of the same bass and I would like to replace mine with his, for added flexibility with travelling. Keith's is newer (was originally bought in NYC by BC'er Greg Cordez) and worth a bit more than mine, so I have to sell first in order to buy
