Lovely bass Julius, very nice condition. Only sold mine recently on BC - great basses. Good luck with the sale. Someone will get a very nice bass buying this.

Haha! Yes did take some time but seems it was worth the wait as she's found a good home with David (aka eubassix).

Now sold

Despite the battle scars I bet it sounds and plays lovely. GLWTS Alex!

Going for a final price drop of £250. Get in touch if you fancy a bargain.

Still available bump

'Friday at least it's not raining today (well in Swindon it isn't) and nearly the weekend' bump

Drop to £300.

PM replied. Still available.

I picked up a bargain today via Gummy Tree which means (it breaks my heart but) I could take a cheeky offer of £320. Guessing if it doesn't go for this there are no bass maniac fans out there and I'll withdraw the ad in a couple of weeks. Anyone want a bank holiday bargain?!!

Thanks Stoney! I might be slightly biased but completely agree

Price reduction to £350 to help move this along. It would be sacrilege to take anything less so I would prefer to keep it than take an offer below this. Hopefully £350 is a great price for this lovely and unusual bass. Cheers!

If it's any consolation I'm surprised for you too. Looks in beautiful condition and nice to see the gold MEC on pickups not worn away. IF only this had been a 5 string I would have had snapped it up. Have a free bump and GLWTS.

Thanks Stoney. Yes describes this one perfectly and good point re weight. Neck is a joy to play. Very lightweight bass but doesn't feel fragile - no more aching backs or shoulders with this little beauty

Cheers Julius. I remember taking it in to our local music shop years ago where they had a guest Rotosound engineer / session player dude in for the day. He had a tinker on the basses people brought in (to have new rotosounds put on them). When he played my bass maniac he clearly hadn't seen one of these before and seemed to be quite taken with it. It always got compliments when I gigged with it - sound and looks :-)

Thanks deepbass5. Don't tell me to keep it though! Taken me long enough to find the heart to do this - now I'm doubting my decision already and it's only been 2 hours! I'll let fate decide for now...

Here I have my quite rare Tune Technology 'Bass Maniac' 4 string active bass. PRICE REDUCTION TO £250. [attachment=189800:tune-2.jpg][attachment=189801:tune-1.jpg][attachment=189810:tune-4.jpg][attachment=189812:tune-5.jpg][attachment=189813:tune-3.jpg] (Ignore the weird pattern on the front of the body - caused by the ceiling lamp reflecting on it). I've owned this from new, purchased from the Bass Centre in London early 90's. Played it for 3-4 years in my old metal band with a full Marshall bass stack (good ol' days) and it then became my back up bass, barely playing it for the last 15 years. Japanese made and possibly the easiest bass I've ever played. Fast, narrow neck and nice action. Plenty of punch, warmth and depth. Particularly good for rock although play off the front PUPs only and you get quite a mellow bass. This youtube video link will give you a feel for the beautiful tone: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3SgjBqfjmI"]https://www.youtube....h?v=a3SgjBqfjmI[/url] (stick with it – changes riff around 0.40 and again around 1.00 - shame about the fret buzz) Spec (got this from the internet – seems about right): Body: Alder Neck: Rosewood Neck width at nut: 39 mm / 1.535 in Weight: approx 3.3 kg / 7.28 lb Scale: 860 mm / 34 in Controls: 1 Master volume, 1 Pickup balancer, 1 Bass tone control, 1 treble tone control Condition is excellent considering it's age. Little bit of buckle rash on the back as shown in the pics. Due to the high gloss finish lot of very light hairline scratches on the back barely noticeable unless you catch the light. Struggled to capture them in any photos. Bass works perfectly and has no faults. More pics can be seen here: [url="http://bit.ly/1O3dVkh"]http://bit.ly/1O3dVkh[/url] You will get a lovely and quite unique bass for the money and I'll certainly be very sad to see her go. No trades - trying to reduce my collection. I would prefer cash on collection. Would be willing to meet you within a 30-mile radius of Swindon if you cover my fuel. I will consider shipping within the UK (only UK) but really would prefer you come and see it. Any questions give me a shout. Thanks, Glen

Just purchased Brett's (aka Basssection) ME-50B and very smooth transaction. Pedal was exactly as described (fantastic condition). Thanks Brett - have a free bump from me and good luck selling the rest of your kit

One last weekend bump before I resort to ebay. Please don't make me...
