& SOLD .....

ON HOLD

Another last bump/try @[b] £249 incl.[/b] Just had another check on ebay: this one's there @ £499 (BIN + £20 p&p) ... but only in black or blue; to me, the red is by far the nicest finish. If it's not attracting any serious interest, I may as well try it on ebay. If preferred, I can change back the Flats to roundwounds. [b]£249 incl.[/b]

[quote name='sshorepunk' post='684661' date='Dec 14 2009, 11:12 PM']Yeah, there is a lot of variation in the finishes of these basses, this is one of the lighter cherries! Tony[/quote] re. the 'Colour Issue(s)' and the 2 basses (s_s_p / S'wave) ... I think it's complicated by Pedulla in that they offer (I think) both Cherry and Vintage Cherry (which is darker) + Cherry (and Vintage Cherry) - Burst. Here's my Vintage Cherry (Burst?) P-Buzz which has the optional black hardware and the epoxy coated fretboard. it is - I agree - the best FL available (.. except for my Kinal MK5 FL, which also has the epoxied 'board, so it's like a bolt-on P'Buzz with the added EQ/triple-Bartolini ... I'll add a photo!):-

Interesting update from the buyer:... ".... I met Carmine Rojas (who currently play with J.Bonammassa) last year and he played with one XB-2 ..... otherwise I could never know the quality of this bass because this brand is unknown in France...." I don't know Carmine Rojas (although I have found a couple of references here on BC) but guess he might be a bit of a player .. with a good taste in basses (!!).

SOLD !! .. to the man in France.....

Final 24h. - there's currently bid(s) on ebay and a large number of Watchers, so it is likely to be gone tomorrow.

Thanks G' - good advice, on both counts! Once I've completed tidying this - removing simple BUMP's etc. - (I hadn't even noticed the delete X before!) I'll pop-out and buy a ticket: if I win I'll remove this and start compiling a to-buy list of instruments !

Hi Golchen .. and thanks (again) for another bump and very positive comment ! I guess it's hard to sell anything much at present, but having always been interested in more esoteric and unusual stuff (often not well known in the UK) doesn't help - although it's now easier to research these instruments on the net (... but not to try them, of course). That's probably less true for this Xotic bass (cf. the Devon) as they've been around and well known (in the USA) since the early to mid 90's. Give this evening's EuroMillions a try !!

[quote name='redstriper' post='726970' date='Jan 27 2010, 10:06 PM']are you interested in a trade for my ibanez artcore semi acoustic 6 string guitar?[/quote] .. no interest at all, sorry.

Not really - looks nice bass, but I'm OK for 5's currently and have had issues with most J5's in the past. BUMP for a Bargain / opportunity.

New (silver/550) unit SOLD (twice!)

Last try/reduction: [b]£249[/b]

[quote name='TPJ' post='720525' date='Jan 21 2010, 08:50 PM']How wide are the necks on these? They look wide but it could be that the body is small. Are they similar width to a p-bass? Also, how's the balance? Cheers[/quote] Very much a P bass with a radical body design and new-concept pickup. If you watch the youtube demo (link?) the chap demo'ing makes a similar comment. Balance is fine.

[quote name='spaz91' post='720412' date='Jan 21 2010, 07:12 PM']Interested in a Fender Jazz V?[/quote] Maybe later - need to get a cash sale if possible.

OK ... one last try for this (these) on here (+ebay) after which I'll return to my original idea of defretting the bocote one. Creating this new post for the amber/quilt model. Specs and details are the same, except that this bass is marginally more 'mint' and is very rare in terms of the finish and 5AQuilt. It's also featured somewhere on the current Xotic website. Here's also a scanned copy of an old brochure I found for the TB-2 (original neck-thru version) which outlines many of the features of the bolt-on (SB-2) Quilt/Amber-Black-Burst Xotic SB-2/5 @ SOLD !!!!!

[quote name='barroso' post='711209' date='Jan 13 2010, 12:53 PM']would you ship to italy?[/quote] Should be fine - I'll check the Courier rates and details and get back to you.

Trying another option here, with the other Xotic .. which I'd really wanted to keep (of the two) but circumstances dictate another approach. ... SO ... The two basses are virtually identical in terms of feel, sound, build quality .. but the amber one IS very special (and unusual, possibly unique) for Xotic (finish-wise) - and is featured somewhere on their website. If anybody feels this one's for them, I'd be willing to accept a sensible offer based on the ebay listing. Bocote/Natural photos and details are on Post #1 This bass is shown here:-

OK.. have managed to sell a couple of 'minor' items (to help with the XS's of Xmas/NY) but still need to sell at least one high-end bass to make ends meet. So - offering this exceptional bass ... along with another special deal on my Devon J5c ... until one (hopefully) sells. For the bargain this represents, just checkout the initial description etc. in post #1. Obviously, No Trade(s)

.. and is Confirmed as SOLD

Hi/OK/thanks WnW - no rush (as yet), so take your time to compare & contrast. Happy to answer any queries that might arise.....

None taken (/thanks) .. but bass is now sold/pending

OK .. the Watchers were only Watchers !! Reducing + Courier at cost or happy to package for your Courier !

Further BUMP / Reduction: [b]£288[/b] inclusive of Courier !!
