    Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 10T combo

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='1332806' date='Aug 8 2011, 09:36 PM']I'd be interested in the cab if you'd consider splitting them.

    I've already got the Shuttle 3 8T so I don't need the head.

    Unless you fancy a Markbass LMK?[/quote]


    Thanks for the message and offer Mr. Bassman.

    For the time being I’ll rather keep the combo intact but if I get interest in just the head then I’ll definitely split and I’ll let you know.

    Cheers.

    I got this from a fellow Basschatter only a few weeks ago and it’s a fantastic combo with plenty of oomph and can really handle a low B, here’s the link to the original thread with more pictures...

    [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=138944"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=138944[/url]

    It currently has some new control knobs on it, the originals are included as well.

    I’m asking for a fixed price of [b]£500[/b] (inclusive of postage within the UK), which is what I paid for it only a few weeks ago. I’ve not gigged it and it’s just sat at home as I have decided to stick with my Mark Bass for the time being.

    Thanks for looking, any question please ask and you’re most welcome to come over and check it out.

    Cheers.

    [b]Final Reduction, Now Only £1275[/b]

    This is really is the absolute lowest I could go on the bass, I’m sure most would agree that it's great value for a Sadowsky Metro 5 string.

    Please don’t be put off by the couple of ‘very minor light superficial surface scratches on the body’ stated in the OP. I’m sure most people would still class the bass ‘as new’ but I do like to be totally honest and open (maybe to my detriment!).

    Thanks very much for looking.

    I too am fairly certain the wood makes a difference, but I've seen so many threads being derailed with people putting their 2p in that I thought it'd be best to put in a caveat... :)

    Wise words, hope your thread stays on track. :)

    Thanks for the very comprehensive reply!

    Really interesting to hear your criteria for the bass - ‘very compact, easy playing, 33” scale’, sounds similar to what I look for in a bass because I’m not the biggest guy out there (read short!) and for me perfect balance and light weight are also very important.

    I know that there are lots of variants that effect the tone of a bass; pick ups, electronics, construction method etc, and of course the person playing it. That said, I’m personally a great believer in the general tonal characteristics of wood, accepting that each bit of wood is going to be slightly different.

    Looking forward to seeing the finished bass! Good luck with it all. :)

    Cheers

    Hi Eude

    Love the look of your ACG 5 string and the wood choice for your six I recon is going to be really striking. Just wondered how much the wood was chosen for it’s aesthetic appeal and how much for the tonal properties? I’ve never had the chance to play any ACG’s but they do look really interesting, how do you find the balance and weight of them?

    Cheers

    [s][/s][b]Sadowsky Metro 5 string, ash body and maple fingerboard with VTC.[/b]

    Sadowsky semi hard case is included.

    I bought this bass brand new, about 2 years ago from USA and it has only been gigged occasionally, the condition is very good with only a couple of very minor light superficial surface scratches on the body (I tried to take photos but they didn’t even show up and you can only see them if pointed out and only then if the light is shining in the right place!). It could easily pass as new.

    As with all Sadowskys, it’s a great bass with an amazing tone, it’s light weight (about 8.8 lb on my bathroom scales) and well balanced.

    The only reason why I’m selling this is because I seemed to have collected too many basses recently and I need to make room.

    You’re very welcome to come over and try the bass.

    Cost of this bass new is £1969 (price from Guitar Guitar)

    Sell for [s]£1350[/s] (sorry no part exchange)

    [s][b]New Lower Price of Only £1300![/b][/s]

    [size=3][b]Final Reduction, Now Only £1275[/b][/size]

    £20 p&p UK or collect in person (Surrey/South East London area).
