Hi everybody Up for sale my beloved BB3000 A. Made in Japan 1983 , she have seen a lot and played more. As you can see in the pictures there are a lot of marks and a big one on the bottom that was hard. Some superficial cracking but it does not affect the integrity or the sound of the instrument. Electronics has been replaced with a set of Flametone P/J ( 400€ installed by Alessandro himself in Milan ) controls are Vol/Vol/Tone/Tone and a miniswitch put you in P territory ( probably one of the best P sound I've ever heard IMO ). Tuners were replaced with brand new BB30000 original tuner which I've found by a collector in Italie. The original pups, controls and preamp are also included. Cleaned and tested by Mr. Flametone. Ebony fretboard , frets are fine , trussrod working like a swiss watch and a very straight neck. One of the best neck I've ever put my hands on , fast and sleek a slapper paradise. The girl was played a lot and she hass seen tons of stages , the marks are there , in the pictures . Need a detail just let me know ! Shipped with an ordinary gigbag in a tank proof box. I will accept a trade with a very light Mensinger Joker B 32" 5 Strings or a NOBLE PREAMP DI Partial trade possible with : FAIRFIELD THE ACCOUNTANT CIOKS DC7 Becos Stella Comp Empress Bass Comp 3leaf Audio PWNZOR Darkglass Luminal Source audio C4 Source Audio Hub

Time to shift another bass that’s not getting enough use. The build quality of this is phenomenal. Great neck with Ebony fingerboard that is soooo dark! It’s in superb condition, a small paint chip (circled) is the worst of it. A thumb rest has been added which can be removed but will leave two screw holes. It’s been modded with a John East preamp that contains vol, pickup pan, bass, treble, mid, mid freq and separate piezo blend, piezo tone, Active / passive switch. 33.75” scale 19mm string spacing EDIT - Now includes Hiscox Liteflite hard case (not the one pictured). £975 > Now £950 delivered in the UK.

Due to the Covid-19 situation and severe back problems (66% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 3 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. GROSMANN 5 FF Custom Order, top of the range model with a 2 pieces body in wenge and alder, 2019, 34 to 36 inches fanned frets. NO TRADES !

Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has been fitted with a brand new set of specially designed for fanned frets basses Dingwall Nickel Plated Steel round wound strings (45 - 55 - 80 - 100 - 130). I wanted to try a fanned frets bass, but as a fretless player, I'm bit "lost", so my loss is your gain. The bass is very powerful with roaring low mids (thanks to the wenge) and the combination of the full Delano design (dead silent), with the lutherie and the Dingwall strings gives a really punchy, clear and full sound whatever way you turn the EQ knobs.

Look at the photos taken under different angles to see the very good lightly used condition (almost new) of this bass, except for 3 points at the back, some surface scratches on the front and back (hard to capture) and other very small blemishes around the output jack. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

I love this bass but I'm mainly playing 6 strings now so don't really have much use for it. It's a fantastic short scale bass, capable of some real growly tones I've never been able to get out of my fenders. Stock you get a single humbucker with volume and tone. The volume controls a coil tap/split (I forget which one) that effectively scoops the midrange giving a more modern tone. I did a few things to the bass myself to make it play and sound even better: 1. Upgraded the bridge to a Babicz 2. Added an arm rest as I found that the lack of forearm contouring was pretty uncomfortable without it. Really comfortable now. 3. Added a Push-push tone bypass to the tone knob. By bypassing the tone control, you get a touch more top end. 4. Thumbrest added. It will be well packaged and sent with a decent courier, not Hermes. Price includes UK mainland postage excluding highlands and islands. Payment via paypal friends and family/Gift preferred.

If that tiny Warwick was a 5-string I'd be all over it
