I bought this bass about 3 to 4 months ago. It is entirely in “as new” condition (still with plastic on the pickguard, etc.). The bass has never been gigged and comes with fender molded case and all the other bits (strap, straplock, fender cable, etc.). It has a nice setup and plays really well. I am only selling it because I am not used to active circuits. The U.S. list price of this bass is [b]$2.450[/b] [url="http://admin.fender.com/resources/pricelists/pdf/winter2009/FLinstore_2009-USDOM-fenderbass.pdf"]http://admin.fender.com/resources/pricelis...-fenderbass.pdf[/url]. I am asking only [s]£999[/s] [b]£950 [/b]o.n.o. Sorry, but I am not interested in trades. Basically, whoever buys this bass will get a brand new bass for less.

[quote name='thedavesideofthemoon' post='351148' date='Dec 10 2008, 07:34 PM']Hi! I'm Dave and i'm selling my 2001 Fender USA Roscoe Beck Signature 5 string. I'm selling the bass for £750 or very near offer and postage would cost £15 with TNT next-day courier. It's a beautiful bass in almost perfect condition, however almost all of the gigs I now play are on upright bass so it's time to say goodbye![/color] I bought it from The Bass Cellar in London in 2001 and still have all the original paperwork (I've included a picture of the original receipt). I’ve mostly used it for studio recording and jazz gigs and it’s always been fanatically cared for. The instrument itself is perfectly set-up with a new set of Ernie Ball strings. I work in a guitar shop in Liverpool and the guitar technician in the store regularly services and checks all my basses. Although the 4-string model can still be found in the Fender 08' catalogue, the production of the 5-string model has now stopped and is now definitely a highly-sought after collector's item. This really is a professional quality bass. It was designed hand-in-hand by top session-bassist Roscoe Beck and Fender. The 'Bill Lawrence Quad Coil' custom passive pickups were specially made for this bass to defeat the problems that Roscoe Beck had found in other 5-strings. The sound of this bass is incredibly versatile. You really can dial in pretty much any Fender tone you can think of… There is a mini-toggle switch for each pickup which gives you the option of single-coil (for a classic Jazz Bass sound), parallel (Jazz Bass with no hum and slightly lowered highs), and series (a big fat Precision Bass sound). The tone knob also had a push-pull function on it that will slightly lower the output of the neck pickup so you can get that perfect growly 'Jaco' sound. The construction and hardware of this bass is absolutely top notch as well. The heavy duty ‘Gotoh’ bridge can be strung either thru-body or thru-bridge and the fingerboard is made from very rare Pau Ferro and is extremely smooth and fast to play. The 6-bolt neck is solid as a rock and very very rarely requires any adjustment. The bass comes with a very high quality British made Hiscox flight case as pictured. Unfortunately I sold the original case because I only ever use Hiscox cases anyway and i couldn't ever foresee wanting to sell the bass at the time... doh! There are 3 very small ‘dings’ in the body of the bass and i've included a close-up photo of these 3 marks. Apart from these there is very little to distinguish this bass from a brand new one. The only other sign that this is not a new bass is the small hole in the scratch-plate where I had a technician add a coil-tap to the pickups as an experiment. It turns out that the bass sounded better with it’s original wiring so it was changed back but unfortunately this left a small hole in the scratch-plate where the coil-tap switch had been placed. This really is a fantastic instrument and i'll be sorry to see it go. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me with any questions and good luck! Dave x[/quote] Have you sold this bass yet?

Bump!

These were a gift. I just opened but they are brand new. The gauges are 130, 105, 85, 65, 45. They came by mistake, I'd prefer 040 ones. Only [b]£10[/b] including postage.

Bump.

[indent]For sale Bassix RC Interchangeable electric upright bass. Looks really good (see pics) with "blonde" deluxe side moulding. The bass is completely unmarked (see pics) and comes with adjustable bridge, presto nylon strings, a pre-amp and an EQ which makes the sound extremely versatile. Here is a review that I found on the web: "with the treble rolled off and the bass slightly boosted you get the classic double bass tone, wonderful for jazz etc. However bring the treble up to about midway, and suddenly you can start to get those D&B sounds out of it, still double bassy but with a little honk, push it a little futher and you can get the more fretlessy sounds similar to the NS design bass's. and very similar to a DB". Good for both pizzicato and bowing. It takes only a couple of minutes to assemble/disassemble the bass. It includes nice gig bag (see pic). Here are some other reviews for Bassix EUBs including this model.

I am only selling it because I haven't played this bass and I am moving abroad soon. A new one of these (with all the options such as blonde colour, pre-amp, presto string and side moulding) would cost £1200. As I said this one is in AS NEW CONDITION. I am asking now only £[s]800[/s] [b] £750[/b]. I would also consider a trade for a 5-string stingray with dual humbucker.[/indent]
