BassBod Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I hate "feelers" as much as anyone, but I'm really not certain, so here's a maket tester... Martin 00C 16GTAE acoustic bass, less than 2 years old with original hard case. Very good (almost perfect) condition. The Martin/Fishman under-saddle pickup has been professionally changed for a K&K pure acoustic (stuck under the bridge plate) and wired direct to the jack socket. The original preamp is still there, fully functional if you wanted to re-wire it. [attachment=4854:DSCN0885.JPG][attachment=4855:DSCN0887.JPG][attachment=4856:DSCN0886.JPG] This is the all solid wood version, around £1100 retail new, so I'm looking for at least £850....PM any questions, as usual... BB
David Nimrod Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Wow! that is an incredibly cool bass... I struggle on with a Takamine 512 I'd love it, but no way can I afford it! Have a bump on me...
BassBod Posted January 14, 2008 Author Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks for the bump - and yes, it is a bit of a luxury bass. Lovely to play, sounds great (if not exactly loud..) even smells good (hmm..rosewood). Its great to have a bass you can just pick up and play without feeling you have to plug it in to really hear it. Anyway, I've also got a GAS list that includes Thunderfunk amps, Roscoe Beck Jazzes, Epi Jack Cassidy...I could go on. Feel free to talk trades! BB
BassBod Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 Gentle,warm and woody acoustic style bump....big MOT bill yesterday, so looks like its got to go.....but trades still considered BB
BassBod Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 Price reduced to £750 bump.......anyone? BB

That way you pay the MOT and still have an acoustic bass to play
BassBod Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 Interesting offer - I'll have a think (got any photos of the Takamine? I guess they'll be good ones!) The only problem I can see is delivering/meeting up? I'm in Bristol and really don't get out much anymore, particulrly to Notts...... I'll PM in a bit, if that's ok? BB
BassBod Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 I really wouldn't want to post it (lovely mahogany neck, angled headstock...) but could meet a bit north of Bristol, or why not visit - Bath is lovely in the spring...like it was today. BB
GM10 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 A combination of a lack of time and a deep hatred of long journeys in my crap motor prevents me from popping over to visit your lovely city, although I'll get there one day as the Missus loves Bath. Thanks
