  1. Trading in one or more basses is an option, see below for trade options.* Up for sale/trade is my Skjold Greyling 5, built in December 2021. This is a no-frills, boutique bass built by one of the most highly regarded bass guitar builders in the world. Pete Skjold is best known for his rather modern-looking and sounding custom basses, but he himself is a huge fan of old-school, passive bass tones. So when he decided to finally design a bass guitar for himself that could produce all those vintage, passive bass tones, he naturally went for it all the way, and the Greyling was the result. Even though he designed the bass for himself and had no intention of putting it into production, some of his friends and customers who had played the bass were so impressed with the tone and build quality of this instrument that they asked him to build one for them as well, and so he eventually offered the Greyling as an order option to other customers as well. - Super comfortable 33" scale length, but with a tight, great sounding B-string. - Quadcoil pickup with 4 pickup selector switch. (Precision pickup, Series, Parallel or reverse precision pickup). - 3-piece body made of the finest mahogany. - Symmetrical neck made of quartersawn roasted maple. - Fretboard made of Indian rosewood. - Evo gold frets. - 1x volume and 1x tone control + pickup selector switch. - Special satin finish that beautifully shows the wood grain. - Includes a very elegant, sturdy Skjold gigbag. - Pleasantly lightweight, weighing in at 3.85kg. If you’re looking for a passive, vintage sounding instrument, but with the best hardware, ergonomics and build quality on the market today, then this is the bass for you. The new price for the Greyling 5 was 4400 USD and after shipping, import fees and customs charges a new one would cost you +-5700Euro/4934GBP today. Asking price/trade value in Euro: 3495 Euro Condition is still as good as new except for some superficial scratches on the underside of the body, under the bridge which are probably the result of an oversight while changing the strings. The bass has just had a full checkup and professional setup and is fitted with a fresh set of Thomastik JF 345 flatwound strings which give the bass a very warm, beautiful sound and make the bass play like butter In short; It’s a very comfortable instrument with a beautiful, warm sound that fits perfectly in a band setting. The four-position quad-coil pickup selector makes it a very versatile instrument, despite the fact that the electronics are completely passive. Why am I selling it? Well, I’d like to try something new, and the Skjold is currently my only bass. I’d like to get more variety in basses and sounds instead of having my entire bass budget invested in one bass. What am I looking for? 5-string basses, with a scale length no longer than 34", fretted or fretless with lines. Some brands that I am a fan of or curious about: Sandberg, Mayones, Sadowsky (metro), Musicman, Marleaux, Mensinger, Monkey Bassness, ACG, Overwater, Status Also trading two cheaper basses (e.g. 1 fretted and 1 fretless) for the Skjold is an option, just send me a message if you have a proposal and we’ll see if it works out.

  2. Like new Aguilar Tonehammer V2. These have not been on the market for long and this was purchased new from Thomann in July 2024. The amp has only been used at home, so it is still as good as new and still has 1.5-year warranty. Only selling because I just started in a new band and have received an endorsement with another brand. New price was €1099, this one is in showroom condition and comes with the original packaging + all the extras. Trade in is possible; - Markbass Energy 102-8 bass cab - Mozztronics bass overdrive - Zvex Mastotron - ZeroFive Audio Lowrider - Mantic Hulk - Boss OC-2 of variant/kloon - 3 Leaf Audio pedals Amp will be double boxxed and wel padded to ensure safe shipping. Pickup or shipping from Ghent, Belgium.
  3. Tc electronic mojomojo is now sold! Ground fx Grayskull is now sold!
  4. *** Trade offers concerning a good quality volume pedal or Boss OC-2 alike octaver are welcome! - Unsound Circuitry HYPER POZZUM V2 (Univox Hyperfuzz with clean blend and Tonestack!) 135€ HYPER POZZUM is a Return Trip to the classic hyper fuzz circuit that has been celebrated for its thunderous scooped *BRRRRR* for decades now. While at the very fuzzy core this landfill beast stays relatively unchanged from the original Univox masterpiece, the tone section is a total unforeseen overhaul. The V2 revision of 2023 adds the much called for Blend control and further enhances the tonestack tweakability with Shift control that replaces the Voice switch! ============/////============= I'm located in Belgium (EU) so payment in Euro's is preffered. I can ship worldwide, although you should ofcourse take import costs and VAT into consideration when buying from outside he EU. I will consider reasonable offers. Greets & Grooves from Belgium! 💚
  5. Super cool pedal from Broughton Audio in Canada (Azureskies on Talkbass). You have a volume for your clean signal, a synth signal at the same frequency as your input signal and then a sub-octave signal, which you can blend to your heart's content. Then you also have a filter knob for each channel, which can drastically change the tone of each individual signal from superbright with lots of harmonics to super-subby and deep. It's a very nice sounding pedal that I only recently purchased, but unfortunately it appears to be unnecessary in my set-up. New incl. Import costs etc. +-€300. As an extra, you also get 3 boutique patch cables from Providence at a value of €23 each (so €69 in total for funky looking patch cables with gold plugs). Demo: https://youtu.be/9LKAqp9KmtU?si=zU3o7saBd2cfemkD Website blurb: The Synth Voice is an original analog octaver that has extraordinary tracking, huge headroom, and heavy-hitting synthesized tones. This Deluxe model improves upon the original by increasing sustain, as well as adding active filters to shape the tone of each voice. The Synth Voice Deluxe detects your input signal frequency and generates a synthesized tone at the same fundamental frequency. The volume of this signal is controlled by the SYNTH knob. The synth signal is perfect for adding heft to your clean signal, or changing your clean signal to a completely different voice. The synth tone is used to create the sub signal one octave below the fundamental frequency. The volume of this signal is controlled by the SUB knob. The tone of this signal is fat and bassy, compared to the typical glitchy video game sounding tones you tend to get from other octave pedals. Mixing in your input signal with the CLEAN knob, you can beef up your regular tone, add a sub octave for extra low end, or cut out your clean signal entirely, creating a completely synthesized signal. The filter knobs cut high frequency content from their respective clean, synth, and sub signals. These controls are reminiscent of a filter knob on a synthesizer. At higher filter settings, the synth and sub become a pure tone, similar to a sine wave. Reducing the filter adds harmonics, creating more of a square wave tone. The pedal requires a 9V DC power supply (not included). The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. The current draw is approximately 50 mA. The Synth Voice Deluxe uses a soft touch stomp switch to actuate a relay, providing true bypass operation. Dimensions: 4.77" long x 3.6" wide The user can define whether the pedal defaults to bypassed or unbypassed upon power-up. Unplug the power from the pedal, hold down the footswitch, and then apply power. This toggles the default power-up state.
  6. Post now updated with the correct specifications. I'm the second owner and apparently not all the info I got from the first owner was correct. Thanks to @pslh for pointing out there were some mistakes in the description (It's all sorted out now). 😉👍
  7. Trade options: I'm honestly not good enough of a fretless player to justify such a high level fretless bass (current models sell for >4k), so I would prefer a downtrade with a cheaper 5-string fretless + some cash my way. Other trade options are: Eich 12", 8Ohm cab, Genzler 4 on the floor, TC Electronic Ditto+, 5string P-bass, synthy bass fuzz, expression pedal for moog mf101, interesting fx-pedals. W.h.y.g.? 🙂 Up for sale/trade is this beautiful custom Manne Guitars Fretless 5-string bass. Everyone who has ever played this have said that this is one of the best sounding fretless basses they'vd ever heard and I can only agree with that sentiment. The passive single coil and humbucker offer a very wide range of quality tones and really allow you to dial in your own sound. The fact that it has both a normal (Jack/TRS) output as well as a direct out (XLR) means you have loads of optons for splitting your signal both on stage and in the studio. A specially designed onboard transformer provides an extremely clean extended range signal; you can plug straight into a board or your amp. The body is made of mahogany with a maple/mahogany core and a beautiful poplar burl top. The neck is super stable and made out of multi-layered maple and mahogany. The board is made out of a very dark phenolic resin and is equiped with 24 fretlines. The 5-way switch switches between different pickup combinations and the knobs are overall volume + an active tone control (bass boost). The bass has a 34" scale super comfortable neck and the total weight comes in at around 4kg. The bass just had a complete check-up and both the scratchy volume pot and output jack were replaced with new, quality parts. The pickup cavities were shielded, I've put new foam under the pickups ,redid a part of the wiring and installed a fresh battery for the onboard transformer and active tone control. The bass also got a detailed set-up with a fresh set of d'Addario 40-125 gauge nickel roundwounds and now she sounds and plays as new again, so you can basically plug and play straight out of the box. The bass comes with a Warwick gigbag that fits it perfectly. As you can see on the extra pictures (see link: https://link.2dehands.be/m2196629500 ) there's quite a few superficial blemishes on the body and some superficial wear on the fingerboard which I highlighted in the pictures. However, unless you really start looking for them these are not really visible to the naked eye. (Please check the 2dehands.be link above for more pictures as I couldn't add them all here.) The bass will be safely packed and well padded to ensure safe shipping. Price in Euro: 1500€ o.n.o. Any questions? Please ask! Greets & Grooves!
  8. @admiralchew Is shipping to EU an option? I'm very intetested in the Barbanera.. 🙂
  9. Do these come with the rolled fret(less) board edges like the V5?
  10. Update for the people that are interested in replacing their Sire tuners with the Gotoh GB528 Res-o-lites; they are indeed drop in replacements, feel super sturdy and they brought the total weight of the bass (Sire P5R from the review) down from 4,34kg to 4,09kg, taking about 250gr of weight away from the headstock which is definitely noticable when playing. Here's a picture of the back of the headstock after installing the Gotoh's. 😉
  11. I just checked and it seems like the cream white ones have sold out since I wrote this review. They still have the tobacco burst and natural finished ones in stock, but those finishes are slightly more expensive. The white P5R from the review is definitely staying with me as I like it more everyday. I was planning on putting in a Lollar pickup, but the original pickup sounds so good that I'm just gonna put some lighweight tuners on the bass and leave the rest stock. I had a Fender American pro Ii in my sights, but this P5R made me cancel that purchase because to me the Sire feels better in almost every way. 😉 (And it left me with enough money in my budget to buy some fancy fx pedals.. 😜😅)
  12. If you ever decide to sell that one let me know. I'm also hunting for the full set. 😉
  13. Forgot to mention one important detail: The B-string is supersolid on both, every note is clean as a bel, the tension feels just right and the B is nice and tight. 🙂👌
