Bassdude BE

*** I might make a little city-trip to London sometime next month, so I could bring the bass and meet up somewhere around the city centre to hand over the bass in person. *** Checked with the lugage scales this morning and she weighs in at 3,2kg. / 7.05lbs. I've also added a good compressor as a partial trade option. Looking for the Origin Cali compact bass, Empress, Diamond bass comp or EBS multicomp. Also, forgot to mention in the OP that I will source a hardcase for it (Thomann) if I have to ship the bass, to ensure safe shipping. Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions. 😉👍 ps: added a few more pictures made in daylight today (since we haven't seen al lot of that lately)

This is a custom order Cazpar 5p (finished december 2021) from Mensinger guitars in Germany. Per my specific request this Cazpar is superlightweight for a 5-string weighing in at just 3,201kg. and due to the Hipshot Ultralite tuners and Brass bridge she is also perfectly balanced both sitting down and on a strap. The B-string sounds incredibly tight on this bass (probably due to the carbon reinforcement rods in the neck), you almost have to feel it to believe how tight and defined the low B is despite the shorter scale, Mensinger really knocked the ball out of the park with this design! Alas, I came to the realisation that I almost never use the B-string so I usually end up playing my (4string) Jazz basses instead of this one, which is a real shame as this beauty deserves to be played and loved. Therefore I would prefer to trade this with a lightweight, medium scale 4 string bass, preferably a jazz or ACG of some sort. Will consider straight trades or a trade with cash my way. The bass comes with fitting, high quality Mensinger gigbag (Will buy a Thomann hardcase for shipping once she sells), and all the tools and paperwork that came with it. As you can see in the pictures I changed the black dome knobs with black, aluminum Sadowsky-style knobs, apart from that everything is still original on the bass. Even though she's only been gigged once, she has seen some use in the first couple of months after I bought her, so there are a couple of small blemishes, and although you probably wouldnt even notice any of these in real life I thought I should mention them anyway. I went over the whole bass today looking at every detail from different angles and I tried to capture all the blemisches on picture as detailed as I could (see last pictures). And as you can see in the pictures there's a small dent on the tip of the headstock from the inevitable collision with one of the cymbals of our drummers drumkit, there's also two very small scratches in the finish on the sides of the body, one on the top side and one close to the jack input, and there's some light wear on the finish in the area where I rested my forearm whilst playing (almost impossible to photograph as it's only visible under certain lighting/angles, but I tried to capture it as best as I could). Most visible wear is the paint that wore off of some parts of the bridge which probably happened when I transported the bass in a gigbag when we were driving to the studio earlier this year.🙄 Other than the little flaws mentioned above she's absolutely perfect, I've only used flatwound strings on this bass, so the stainless steel frets have no wear at all. The neck and fretboard is pristine, feels like a dream to play and she's probably one of the most ergonomic basses I've ever laid my hands on. She just had a pro set-up with a fresh set of Marusczcyk roundwound strings (45-130) which make this little beast sound huge, and I will also include the Dunlop short scale flatwounds I had on there in the sale. I paid close to 2000Euros/1730GBP for this bass and she's definitely worth every penny I paid for her, so this is your chance to get an amazingly good custom shop instrument for a lot less money and without the waiting time.

Mainly lookkng for trades with one or two Barefaced 210's. Cash adjustment either way.

Will consider reasonable offers.

Lucy dreamer is sold, OBNE signal blender is on hold pending payment. Broughton hpf/lpf is still available.

*** I will ad a pair of gold plated patch cables for free with every fx-pedal you buy! *** Broughton Audio Low Pass + High Pass Filter with clean boost (2022): This literally just arrived from Broughton Audio in Canada last week. Paid 238€/199GBP for it incl. Shipping & VAT, but will have no need for it anymore due to the drastic down sizing of my set-up. Check Talkbass for more info. These are the best HPF/LPF pedals around and it has a 20db clean boost built in. 😉 Website blurb: A combination of a low pass and high pass filter, as well as a clean gain. The low pass filter is a 12 dB per octave high frequency filter. The LPF knob controls the cutoff frequency and ranges continuously from 20 kHz to 330 Hz. The high pass filter is a 12 dB per octave low frequency filter. The HPF knob controls the cutoff frequency and ranges continuously from 25 Hz to 190 Hz. The gain control ranges from unity gain to +20dB. The stock input impedance is 1MΩ. The output impedance is 100Ω. This device will work with active or passive instruments, as well as with other devices such as pedals, preamps, or effects loops. The pedal can be powered by a 9V battery or a DC power supply (not included). The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. It can accept 9 to 24 volts. Although 9 volts is sufficient for most applications, higher voltages will provide more headroom when using the pedal with hotter signals. The current draw is approximately 10 mA. The Low + High Pass Filter has a true bypass switch. Pedal is new and comes with it´s original packaging. 195€/163GBP I'm based in Belgium, but can ship worldwide.

Hi, I'm selling a load of gear again due to health issues which are forcing me to go for even more lightweight alternatives compared to the gear I currently have. Nerve damage s@#^s... 😑 This is an as new custom order bass (finished January 2022) from Mensinger guitars in Germany. Only used at home and in the studio. Alas I have to get rid of all my bass gear due to health issues, hence the sale. The bass comes with fitting, high quality Mensinger gigbag, original box/packaging and all the tools and paperwork that came with it. As you can see in the second picture I changed the black dome knobs with black, aluminum Sadowsky-style knobs and I´ve put a set of Dunlop flatwound strings on the bass (the roundwound strings the bass came with from the custom shop will be included in the sale), apart from that everything is still original on the bass. I paid just over 1900Euros/1590GBP for this bass (the A++ grade Bubinga top, Hipshot USA hardware and Aguilar pickups are expensive options and the 5string neck, Carbon reinforcement rods and luminlay side dots are paid options as well),so this is your chance to get a true custom shop instrument for a lot less money and without the waiting time.

Hi, I'm selling a load of gear again due to health issues which are forcing me to go for even more lightweight alternatives compared to the gear I currently have. Nerve damage s@#^s... 😑 GSS Sumo Monster 1200W electric bass & guitar Power Amp ( New 2022 model!) These is the ultimate compact power amp to use with a pedal pre-amp or modeller like f.e. helix, kemper and the likes. I've used it with a Sansamp, a tube pre and a Laney Digbeth pre and they all sounded pristine through this powerfull beast with loads of clean headroom to spare. I'd love to keep this, but recent escalation in health issues is forcing me to go even smaller and lighter with my amp set-up, hence the sale. Spec's: 1200 Watt over 4 Ohm; 800 Watt over 8 Ohm; 400 Watt over 16 Ohm. THD (full power): < 0,1 % Input impedance: 10 K Ohm Power supply voltage: 180-264 Volt ac Frequency response(-1dB): 20-20000 Hz Weight: 7 Lbs. (3.2 Kg) Dimensions: 3.4" x 6.7" x 12.2" / 86 x 170 x 314 mm (H x W x D) Inputs/outputs and controls : 1/4" (6.35mm) input jack on the front panel. Neutrik Speakon loudspeaker output connector on the back panel. One On/Off power switch on the front panel. Massive pure aluminium volume control. A very unique size vs.power ratio. Very high quality electronics based on carefully selected components. 100% black aluminium enclosure. Laser printed front and back panels. The amp is less than two months old, hardly used and in mint codition. Comes with (EU) power cable. I'm in Belgium but can ship worldwide. 😉

Hi, I'm selling/trading off a load of gear again due to health issues which are forcing me to go for even more lightweight alternatives compared to the gear I currently have. Nerve damage s@#^s... 😑 Looking for a trade with an ultra lightweight cab, pref. A Barefaced 210. Vanderkley 212 LNT, 1000Watt, 4Ohm, 24kg. Top of the line Vanderkley cabinet, used but in excellent condition! Available for pickup in Ghent, Belgium or can ship all over EU with DPD or UPS. (We can keep the VAT low by declaring a lower value on the invoice) The NeoLite cabinets are loaded with the latest generation custom-made neodymium drivers. The drivers are absolute state-of-the-art; constructed from a cast aluminium frame, neodymium magnet assembly, unique coil and magnet cooling design, waterproof cone material, linear frequency response, high power- and sensitivity-ratings. The tweeters feature a custom-made filter with tweeter protection circuit and a high frequency attenuator on the back panel. Here you will also find two Neutrik® speakon/6.3mm jack-combo connectors linked parallel. These "high efficiency" cabinets are sealed airtight from the inside so the air will only enter or leave the cab through the tuned port-tube mounted on either the front or back or both. Each speaker cabinet is hand-made by Marc Vanderkley, using strong but lightweight void free birch and poplar plywood, dowel joint construction, internal bracing and is covered with high quality black carpet which will protect your cabinet for years to come. Configuration: 2 x 12” Neodymium drivers + 1" tweeter variable tweeter control from 0 - 10. Power: 1000 Watts RMS Impedance: 4 Ohms Freq. response: 40 Hz – 16 kHz Sensitivity: 102 dB 1W @ 1m Size: H x W x D, 59 cm / 20” x 59 cm / 20” x 45 cm / 16” Weight: 24 Kg / 52 lbs Fitted Roqsolid cover included. I might even still have the original box, but will have to check to make sure.

I like it a lot, I'm driving it with a two notes Le Bass tube pre-amp and Markbass compressore (also with a tube) and I'm loving the sound so far.. If I had known I would've snapped up your 1000Watt version tho, as you can never have too much power i.m.o. :D

Darn, I just bought a brand new Baby sumo last week.. If only I had known..

Mmm.. I'm very tempted by both cabs... If my Orange amp sells I'll get back to you..

EDIT: Just realised that I accidentally put a set of P-pickup covers on there in the picture instead of Jazz pickup covers. Excuse me for that please, I've never used them before so I had no idea. I do have both in stock tho so the bass will ofcourse be delivered with the right set of pickups covers (see photo). Feel free to contact me if you're looking for a set of covers as I have several spare sets of both J and P pickup covers in stock atm.

For those looking for the Precision bass feel with a jazz bass sound, here's the Thunder Gear P-Jazz. A solid, stable, one-piece maple P-bass neck with a 42mm nut width sporting a beautiful rosewood fingerboard with block inlays paired with a lightweight Alder Jazz bass body. The pickups sound a lot like the Tonerider jazz set that you can also find in some of the CV series jazz basses. This bass combines the robust feel and stability of a vintage precision bass neck with the versatility and good looks of a Jazz bass for relatively little money. You also get a set of chrome caps, so you can expand the vintage look even further and for those who are not a fan of tort pickguards, there is also a black pickguard included in the sale so you can swap and compare to your heart's content. Despite the fairly substantial neck, this bass comes in at just 4.2kg. total, so it's definitely not a neck-breaker. The bass comes equipped with a fresh set of D'addario nickel roundwound strings 45-100 gauge and had a full set-up with medium low action, buzz free and offers excellent playability so she's ready for anything really.. This is a brand new instrument, nog case or gigbag included, but I can ship it double or triple boxed with loads of protective materials, please check my feedback, I've been called 'the packaging king" a number of times by previous buyers here on the forum. PRICEDROP TO 295GBP! Interested in trades with a lightweight cab or combo (pref. a GR bass, Eich amps or "made in Italy" Markbass), can ad cash ofcourse... Kind regards, Donovan

Since I had some queries about the total value of this instrument, here's a little overview of the cost of the parts and labour that went into this: I had to import the Schecter as the grey one wasn't available anywhere in Europe at the time, so I payed 791Euro + shipping and import/customs costs for the Schecter. The Hipshot Ultralites (USA made version not the licensed ones!) were 158Euro. The Aguilar AG 4P-60 pickup was 151Euro. The Omega Bass bridge was 88E. Then there's probably another 50 Euro's in little parts like the Hipshot speed knobs, string tree, D'addario eliptical strap holders, CTS pot's , Switchcraft jack, wiring and screws. And around 40Euro to have the frets and nut looked after by my teacher and master luthier. It also comes with a gigbag that was 24.99Euro So with this alone I've already got 1302 Euros invested in this (and then I'm not even including the import/customs costs that I had to pay for the body and neck + the extra set of Labella flatwound strings that I'm including in the sale). Of course I do understand I will never get my money out of this built again, but I will now consider near offers and trade deals for this little beaut. Trade offers regarding lightweight bass-cabs will be considered. Kind regards, Donovan

Hi due to a double order I have a brand new Orange Terror Bass MKII available (this is the newest version with the "clean" switch). The amp is unused, still boxed and comes with matching Orange gigbag. These are sold out in most places, so if you're in Europe and you're looking for one of these, this is your chance to snap one up. Price in euros: 649 Euros => PRICE DROP TO 425GBP/ 500Euro for a quick sale! Just trying to get some of my money back out of it, but I'm willing to consider trade offers concerning one or two lightweight bass cabs (can ad cash ofcourse...) a Tech 21 VT Bass DI or a nice envelope filter. Only wanting to sell/trade this because I accidentally bought two of these after being on the lookout for one for ages and I'm now stuck with it as I had to import them due to them being sold out all over Europe at the time of ordering.. 🙄 I'm based in Ghent, Belgium.

I've tested the fretted version of this bass for a German music store a while back and it absolutely killed! Loved the sound and playability of it and have been lusting for the 5-string fretless version of it ever since (they only had the 5 string fretted and 4 string fretless version of it in stock at the time). I.m.e. most of them are relatively heavy tho, so if you have a lightweight one that's definitely an advantage for the potential buyer! I'd love this, but I would have to sell some other gear first to justify buying it, so I guess someone else will probably snap this up before I manage to get the money together. It definitely is a great sounding instrument and I haven't seen a lot of the 5 string fretless versions for sale on the used market, so that makes it a bit of a rare beast. G.L.W.T.S.!

Pricedrop to 990£!

I might be interested in the TH500, are you willing to ship to the EU?

I use a Mesa D800 with one or two Barefaced S210´s and this rig slays! ❤️ Sold my old Ampeg fridge and tube amp because of it, it´s that good of a rig. GLWTS

Yes, the website is still up, yet there are no prices listed anymore, the contact form doesn't work and all the dealers now have the handbox amps listed as "no longer available"... I'm really gutted as I was lusting for a tube amp to go with my Barefaced s210's..
