    Atelier Z Short Scale 4 String Bass MIJ - Sold

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by jaccjazz

    [b][color=black][size=3]Now asking only £600.00.[/size][/color][/b]

    [b][color=black][size=3]Atelier Z BabyZ PB4[/size][/color][/b]

    [size=3]This Japanese built instrument is in excellent near mint condition. It is very easy and a joy to play with a narrow fast short scale neck. Atelier used to make the Sadowski Japan line and as you would expect shows impeccable workmanship. The fit, finish, neck and fretwork are excellent. The design is based on the Fender Mustang, 30.5" scale. Atelier call it the BabyZ, which to me doesn’t do it justice.[/size]

    [size=3]The original Atelier Gig Bag is included.[/size]

    [size=3]Price to buy in Japan is around £725 and shipping is usually about £125.00 making a total of £850. To import it, add VAT of 20% and import duties of another 3% to give you a total of over £1000.00.[/size]

    [size=3]I am asking £600.00 plus shipping if required. Pickup in person would be best of course.[/size]

    [font=Times][size=3]Atelier Z have produced the best mini bass on the market in Japan! This packs all the punch of regular Atelier Z basses in a short scale bass so you can get that big professional punchy, clear sound! Ideal for travelling professionals, or those of smaller stature! This little beauty can achieve a great precision bass tone as well as a nice Jazz tone. The rear pick up also sounds great on its own too.[/size][/font]

    *SOLD* Carvin/Kiesel Vader VB4 Short Scale (30”) headless 4 String

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by jaccjazz

    [b]Offers considered.[/b]

    This USA made boutique bass is fantastic to play. It is lightweight and so easy to play with a narrow, fast, short scale headless neck. Neck-through construction gives it great sustain and stability. The strap peg positions allow it sit in a very comfortable position.

    See Carvin's website here:
    [url="http://www.kieselguitars.com/customshop/bass_guitars"]http://www.kieselgui...op/bass_guitars[/url]

    This is the active version with Carvin 18volt active circuitry. Pickup at the neck is P-type split coil and at the bridge is a humbucker. Comes with Dunlop straplocks.

    Colour is satin black all over.

    It has had little use and is in excellent mint condition. Build quality is superb from the makers, Carvin in California, USA.

    Here’s what the manufacturers say about it:
    The Kiesel Vader Headless Bass features a compact bevelled body, which provide modern looks with comfortable playing. Forearm and belly cuts and sculpted lower cutaway make for stylish, satisfying ergonomics as well as easy access to the 24-fret 30" short-scale neck. The bass has a standard Hipshot bridge with exclusive Kiesel locking nut/headpiece assembly, allowing the use of standard bass strings. It is currently fitted with flat wound strings.

    [font=Times]To purchase this from the manufacturers in California would cost around £1000.00. Add to that shipping fees and import duties and you get over £1200.00. You’d also have to wait for about 3 months or more.[/font]
