Time to thin them down a bit - at my age I shouldn't have any! 😀 Not a striking looking bass, but a great bass to play. It's from 1999 and is a 35" scale. The pickups are Bartolini jazz and the pre amp is Bartolini NTBT 18v. Pretty good nick for its age, no serious marks, although the paint on the bridge has worn through and the pickup covers are worn down a bit - this is a used bass. It has, I believe, a chechen finger board and graphite strips in the neck. It is not the usual Modulus all graphite neck. It is a great player, and a pretty big bass. My bathroom scales say 4.4 kilos. Comes with the fully functionable Modulus hard case in the pics of course. The string spacing at the bridge is 19mm. I am not looking for trades, thanks. I need the money - and the space. Very difficult to decide which one should go, as I love and play them all! 😄 You're welcome to come and try the bass in Bournemouth, I'll deliver free within 100 miles, we can talk about anything further. I don't have sound clips, sorry. Please let me know if there is anything more you need to know. Thanks for looking. Graham

Now sold, subject to the usual. Going back to its birthplace!

On hold until Monday.

NEW REDUCED PRICE No longer includes the 150 mile free delivery. Prefer a meet up with shared costs. Thanks for looking, Graham You tell by my user name that I'm no spring chicken any more, and the bigger amps and cabinets are too much for my back. So here we have a bargain set up. Ampeg SVT350 all transistor amp, Ampeg HLE 410 and Ampeg SVT 15E speakers. All are US made. The amp and 4x10 are in excellent condition due to having heavy duty pvc covers, the 15 is in very good condition. There are castors on the 4x10. The bass pot/knob has been quite stiff since I bought it, but has always worked fine. Not much more to say about this fine example of a very reasonably priced Ampeg stack. Included in the price is free delivery within 150 miles of Bournemouth. Further than that, we can discuss. I don't want to split this rig, and I do not want trades, thanks. Thanks for looking, Graham

EBS Microbass II pretty well as new, only used for headphone rehearsal in a non smoking home. Only selling as I have just bought an Ampeg DI for the same purpose. The EBS has many more facilities (which I don't need). The £150 includes postage to the UK. Comes with box and instruction booklet. Any questions, please ask. Cheers, Graham

Hi Ynysegal I've attached a pdf copy from East's web site. There is NO actve passive switch, and this configuration is no longer made, having been replaced by a similar model. Hope this helps. Cheers, Graham

Just gigged this bass and might just keep it - it really is a beauty!

Thanks Binky Bass!

Hi Filipbass, Sorry for not replying earlier, I have been away on holiday with little or no internet signal. I don't know the answer to your question, but I will find out and get back to you. Cheers, Graham

Plenty of exchange offers, but still waiting for the connoisseur who wants to buy!

A flurry of activity/interest over this lovely bass, but still available. Graham

Cheers chick!

Thanks Harry, the temptation of a Soulmate is still there! Hope you're good and that you're not sorry you went graphite?

A big reduction (Nov 18), I really need to get on and order my de Gier Soulmate! Also a couple of new pics at the end of this post showing the black pick guard which comes in addition to the tortoiseshell one. (matching covers for pre amp cover on the rear) Two of these recently sold at Paul's Bass Matters for 1,500 euros each, and didn't have the East pre amp. Well, I've had great fun with this wonderful bass which I got from Hazbeen on here around eighteen months ago. At that time I was looking for a used de Gier Soulmate 5 - these don't appear to exist! So I have decided to sell the Bebop (and one other already sold) to fund a purchase of a new Soulmate. That is the only reason for the sale. Since manufacture Harry had an East U Retro (flat response) 3 band EQ pre amp, with this fitted almost any sound is achievable, and a great addition. This replaced the de Gier "Fat Boost" circuit which came with the bass - this boosted the low frequency when using the bridge pick up only, and will be supplied with the bass. I have also had matching tortoiseshell pick and pre amp guards fitted, but the bass will have the original matt black ones (shown on the de Gier factory shot from Instagram) supplied with the bass. Main specifications are:- Lollar pickups, 60's spacing, swamp ash body, rosewood fretboard with blocks and binding, 21 frets, 34" scale, 19mm spacing, de Gier/CTS hi mass bridge and Hipshot Ultralite tuners. It weighs around 4.4kg. It is a used bass, so there are one or two minor marks, no buckle rash. A paint chip near the flush mount Dunlop straplock, see picture 5. This really is in super condition and gets many compliments at gigs. It comes with an unused de Gier very heavy duty gig bag. I would really prefer a face to face sale, and you are welcome to come and try the bass. Carriage would be extra and it would be insured and have the neck detached. A meet up in southern UK would be preferable. Let me know if you need any further info, but I don't have sound clips. There are some on the de Gier website.

OK, thanks Simon

Hi Simon, I'll take this please. Let me know payment details, and I'd like it posted to Bournemouth thanks. Cheers, Graham
