Rowley Birkin QC

Here’s my trusty, and very capable, bass rig up for sale. Both owned by me from new, both with covers. Gigged plenty, but both still in immaculate condition, and never pushed hard. This has been a quality rig for me and has never let me down. No more live playing for me anymore so it needs to go to a new home. Planning on downsizing home n the near future so clearing out unnecessary stuff now. These will be collect only from sunny West Yorkshire as I have nothing to ship them in, but you’d be welcome to come and try it out…..and I’ll have the kettle on! Happy to sell separately: Combo £650, extension cab £200. Combo comes complete with unused foot switch. Any questions just ask.

@lownote just updated the post, can now ship this for additional shipping costs👍

Indeed, and from London you can get the Grand Central service directly into my home town of Halifax……….you know it makes sense!😂😂

Yorksha’s a lovely place……and well worth a visit!😄

@Beneath It All Bass weighs in at 8lb Hope this helps

Yeah, deposit taken from a BC’er

Indeed…….is it £5k better???

Cheers @roger, it is a lovely thing. I’m in no rush to sell it, and it’s unlikely to go down in value……..someone’s out there looking for one!

@Beneath It All replied👍

Update original post with specs.

@joe_geezer It’s a 34” scale

Cheers TheGreek, this is one of the best basses I’ve owned, but I’ve stopped getting emotionally attached to them anymore. It’s a lovely thing, but not what I need anymore. Not really looking for trades as I’m “downsizing”

Giving up playing (at least live) so am offloading the vast majority of my gear. This a a very nice GB Rumour which I’m reluctantly selling, but I’m just not using it enough. Bought from BassBros a few years ago so have used their images as they show it better than mine could! Fitted with blue side & front led’s Would prefer collection for this, but I do have a hard case and box to shop it in, but I would want to make sure that the shipping costs included insurance up to its full value, so it wouldn’t be cheap. Any questions just ask. Colour – Natural Body Finish – Gloss Body Wood – Ash w/ Quilted Maple Top Neck Finish – Gloss Neck Wood – Flame Maple / Mahogany Fretboard – Birdseye Maple Frets – 26 Scale Length – 34’ Weight – 9lbs4oz/4.2kgs Electronics – Active 3 Band Pickups – GB

Used LD Systems U508 in ear monitor system. Used for rehearsals only and 1 gig. In perfect working order. Original earpieces supplied but without the silicone ”in ear” bits!

Apologies, just seen your message. I’ll weigh it in the morning and get back to you.

I have acquired a hard case which is included in the asking price, so can now deliver this for additional shipping costs. So, decided to move on this rather very good fretless bass By Sire to fund an EUB. I’ve owned this from new and it’s in mint condition and fitted with flat wounds (obvs!) Anyone looking for one of these will likely be aware of the level of quality of these instruments. It’s a pleasure to play! I honestly don’t know if it’s a series 1 or 2 (think it’s a 1) though I’m led to believe there’s not much difference (maybe fretboard woods?) and is fitted with the 18v pre-amp. The white “dots” on the binding are just some self adhesive glow in the dark dots i fitted for the “dark stages” and are easily removed. i don’t have any anything to ship this in so collection would be required……but I’ll have the kettle on! Any trial welcome. Any questions, just ask.
