Burns-bass

Hello! I'm selling my David Gage Czech Ease bass and flightcase. If you didn't know, these are a full 3/4 scale bass with a uniquely designed body shape. This one is all-ply construction, but it feels and sounds wonderful. I bought this as I had several outdoor gigs and I needed a portable bass (compared to the metal one). The metal one has now sold and a new wooden bass means this is surplus to requirements . The bass is in good used condition. This has been gigged (across the world, I believe) and has some scars to prove it. there are no marks or dents on the neck but there are marks all over the body (none that have caused cracks or damage) and a small chip out of the scroll (which, would you believe it, is removable!) The bass has had a recent set up and a new set of Spirocore Orchestral strings. It sounds wonderful, rich and vibrant. Action is low and the bass is ready to go. It comes with the official David Gage moulded flightcase. It doesn't, however, come with a gigbag. The original supplied with the bass pershed and I haven't had a chance to purchase a replacement. This is factored into the price. The David Gage pickup is nearly new (replaced the existing one which wore out). The only slight issue I want to raise is a small gap in the wood at the bottom where the string wire grabs the end pin. This is stable, has never moved and isn't a fault or failure, but I wanted to mention it. Images as requested. This was checked as part of the set-up and is fine. The price of £1995 I think is good value. I will not send the bass anywhere. I won't entrust it to a courier or your friend with a van. I'm not really interested in trades. Finally, I'll be away from 24 August to 30th – but can welcome you here to check out the bass before and after those dates. Here come the pictures...

Ere mate, what’s your best cash on collection price for all three? All joking aside, these Zeller basses are fantastic value for money.

Not sure why this isn’t showing up, but it’s under £50. Maybe the gods of Basschat will look upon me favourably.

Spirocore Weichs. Been used for around a year, but in excellent shape. The silks haven’t been cut and there are no kinks or damage. Industry standard strings. Will take a picture tomorrow. Looking for £49 plus postage and will package in a Spirocore box (Orchestral strings. The ones I’ve fitted to replace these!)

It’s the Reverb-ification of sales. People see a stupid price there and use it as a reference point. You’re free to attempt to get what you can but a more realistic price is probably around £100.

Agreed with Jack. I've had two of these and both were excellent. I'd say the crack is more likely to be a surface abrasion. I had some crazing on the finish on one of mine and it looked much worse than it really was.
