Sold an Acoustic Image Focus 2 head to Robert. Everything went smooth and easy with fast payment. A++++++++ as they say elsewhere.

Done, as I already knew it (a test a year), I still can hear from 20 Hz (hey, I'm a 6 strings bas player) to 16 KHz where it's deacaying around 16736 Hz (by my specialist, my ears go to 18 KHz, but the headphones are suited for these measurements). And I'll be 54 this August. No ear protections, I simply don't go to rock concert since more than 25 years : you know these venues where the guy behind the console is young, deaf, stupid and calling himself a sound engineer ! And when I go to this kind of concert, I just take the low cost earplugs they are giving at the entry or I go home. 🤣

Must be the cardboard hard case pictured that is making the price. 🤗 -
Do you still use a compressor ? 🤗

Always sad news. Condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

Funny to read all this as @ixlramp is saying all and its exact opposite with the second harmonic strength (on badly designed basses and poor quality strings) and then suddenly speaking about the pitch of a string according to it's length (so hearing the fundamental). I think that you've never played a Leduc or a real luthier bass (but they are really only a few, sorry). On all the Leduc I've owned or played, which is around 30 basses, the fundamental of each note is present and well heard when played unplugged which is the sign of a well designed instrument. I'm the owner of the Audiokinesis Hathor 18134 cabinet made for the Quake bass, just because I want to be able to hear the low B perfectly reproduced on my system which also includes a Warwick JH PR40 preamp and a GSS Sumo 1000 Watts RMS power amp. This is the system I've been looking for for years to hear the low B as well as all other notes. And if you can't hear at 31 Hz, it's about time to go and see a specialist for an hearing test which I do each year as it's utterly important. If you look at the node of the fundamental of a low B, you'll see that it has twice the power of the second harmonic and so on. I recommend that you read some studies and books about lutherie and talk to a classical luthier as you are mismatching a lot of facts. The quality and construction of a string is another important fact to the tone reproduction. Sorry to be a bit harsh, but it's a bit upsetting to read the same things (to be polite) on fora.

All the children around here have started on a Firefox Mini Precision Bass bought new in the early 1992, so a real collector now. 😉 It was made in Indonesia in the Sunn factory at the time. If you find one second hand for a decent price, go on. It looks like that : https://best-vintage-guitars.de/firefox_mini_precision_bass.html Mine is red.

It's not a power tube amp : these need a load connected, not transistor power amp.

Just a tad bit, just a tad.

Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £999 GBP !!! In fully working condition and real good condition for such a rare bass that has never been modified. Here are the specifications : Body : 2 pieces ash Neck : 3 pieces (bolt-on) maple Fingerboard : maple Frets : 24 (perfect condition as they have been dressed) Headstock : 3 + 3 shape Pickups : Tune humbuckers Preamp : Tune 2 bands twin preamp (yes 2 different preamps voiced differently) Controls : volume (active/passive), blend, stacked bass and treble for the first preamp, stacked bass and treble for the second preamp, switch for selecting the preamps Tuners : Gotoh/Tune GB7 (3 + 3) with reversed mounted strings (so tuning à la original Fender) Bridge : Tune massive brass Strings spacing at bridge : 18 mm Nut : brass Strings spacing at nut : 9.5 mm Knobs : original metal Scale : 36" Hardware colour : natural aged gold Finish : light gloss Land of craftsmanship : Japan (Kobe) Serial number : non-existent on early Tune basses Weight : 4,6 kilos Action : from 1,5 mm under the C string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th fret Will come with a brand new soft case or a gig bag, up to you, or both of them. Non-smoking environment as usual. It has some marks, mainly above the neck pickup (thumb anchoring), at the rear and on the upper edge of the head. This bass is known to be the best 36 inches bass ever and you can trust this affirmation. With the two preamps, you can have a deep Motown sound and, simply by flicking a switch, engaging the second preamp for a tone à la Jaco. Certainly the most versatile bass you can find. Even Fodera owners consider this bass to have the best low B on the market. And its ergonomics is perfect. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has a new batteries, new output jack and has been fitted with a brand new set of DR Black Beauties BKB6-30 coated stainless steel wound strings (30 - 45 - 65 -85 -105 -125).

Look at the pictures taken under different lights to see the real condition : some few marks, due to the age, but nothing serious at all. Don't hesitate to ask for more. Dust is offered.
