Thanks Marc, I think so too...

The time has come to sell this wonderful instrument. I love almost everything about it, but the posture required, sitting and standing, is causing me pain, and I've not been able to get around that. As per the title, it's a BSX Allegro 4 string in tobacco burst. If you're interested, you'll likely know all about them (their website is old fashioned but informative). It has an acoustic chamber, with f-holes, and the unplugged volume is just right for quiet practice. The preamp is very good indeed. Bartolini, 3 band, developed specifically for this instrument. Easy to produce a very natural sounding warm tone. The bridge is fixed, but the neck is adjustable! Really simple and quick to alter the action (one screw to hand turn) Condition is good. It has some scuffs to the headstock, the top bout (where the neck meets the body) has a 'milky' sheen to it. Sunlight fading? Not sure, but it's cosmetic only. The picture shows a line that looks like a crack, but absolutely isn't. It's just where two timbers meet).Some very minor marks here and there, but all round good nick. The rubber endstop is worn through, it's the metal endstop that contacts the floor. Strings: the A,D, and G strings are Spirocore Weichs, can't remember what the E is, but it's nearly as good as the Spirocores, which are just wonderful, hugely expressive. I've put dots on the side of the neck, as you can see (but nobody else) There is a BSX bag that comes with it. Good for carrying, but doesn't offer too much protection. Also a cheap French bow. I won't post this, but happy to host potential buyers, also happy to travel halfway to meet, depending on where... Thanks for reading. Happy to fill in any missing info on request... Pics:

Yup

And another ringing endorsement... https://youtu.be/IbgGZUsPJYk?si=nHaqSuADjaxq3EH-

I'll take these, pretty please...

These have come off my BSX eub. I don't know the age or the gauge, but they have plenty of life. Selling because I want the lowest tension I can find. E 126.5cm from the far end of the ball to the start of the silk. 15cm of silk A 126cm. 26cm of silk D 126.5cm. 27cm of silk G 127cm. 20cm of silk.

Adjusted ad: I've put the original neck back on. Here's how it looks now...

Thanks John, nice to have more info. You did a tremendous job with the Tru-oil, it really does glow...

Bought this fairly recently on here, but a B6 appeared for sale not long after, coinciding with some spare cash... you can guess the rest. Excellent condition, no marks that I can see. Velcro on the bottom. I really like Zoom products, and this is really good. The direction arrow buttons work very well with the foot (I was skeptical beforehand), tuner is good, and the patches are excellent. The 1073 preamp and the 1176 Limiter are fantastic.

A beast of a bass! Bought this from Grezza, a member on here, it's been through a couple of owners on Basschat, I think. Guitar Build 2 piece mahogany body finished in Tru-oil (it just glows) Lindy Fralin 51'P split 5% overwound pickup Fender USA grooved bridge Ki0gon loom with Switchcraft jack socket String through option The neck is a Harley Benton PB50 that I've worked on extensively, and am quite proud of. I reshaped the headstock, and profiled the neck from 42mm down to 40mm, with a U profile (with defined 'shoulders'). Also reshaped the heel to fit very snugly. Rolled the fingerboard edges, and shaped the frets. The result is an extremely comfortable playing experience, though I do say so myself... I do have the J profile neck the bass came with, and could sell the bass with that neck attached if preferred (pics to follow) It's a hefty beast (maybe 10lbs, but will confirm); balances very well, and is not a problem with a decent wide strap. Weight now confirmed at 11lb 4oz. I'm stronger than I thought! And it plays like a monster! Very happy to fill any gaps I've missed - just ask, and thanks for reading.

A splendid all round bass. I've used it for rehearsals, not gigged with it. In as new condition, I would say, one little headstock cymbal nick. Owned maybe 2 years? Selling because I've gone semi hollow (musically and intellectually) The quality of the parts adds up to the perfect bitsa, in my opinion: Hipshot Ultralight tuners Roasted maple neck Nordstrand pickups Babicz full contact bridge Markbass preamp Spokewheel truss rod access Really lightweight, but not lacking in low end at all. The preamp gives you the best of vintage and modern; vvt,passive, with 2 single coils (Jazz territory), then 3 band active, with humbucking single coils. And the 3 band is voiced really well, useable at all 'extremes'. The neck pickup in passive has great weight and heft. Sounds old and worn in from the get go (in a good way). I'm convinced the roasted neck is a big factor in this... I don't use the bridge pickup on it's own, although it does it's job well. I just prefer the fatter sound. The 2 pickups together sounds great. The bass does live inside, honestly... Very happy to fill in any gaps in information. Thanks for reading. The weight is 7lb 9oz, if my scales are to be trusted (it feels lighter than that)

Yes please, pm incoming...
