freakbrother Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Hi !!! [color="#0000FF"][size=3]I want to sell my handcrafted custom made Bass Guitar from German bass engineer Bassculture/Christoph Dolph[/size][/color] [b]Specifications:[/b] [list] [*]Body american Walnut [*]Top Red Juniper [*]Neck neck through, Jatoba with walnut stripes [*]Headstock Walnut with Red Juniper front and bird's-eye maple back [*]Fingerboard Amaranth [*]Electric Glockenklang 2 Band activ/passiv push pull [*]Pickups 2 Humbucker Custom Made Pick Ups from Bassculture with Amaranth Cover 1x MM - Style 1x Jb Style [*]Mech Schaller Machine Heads Schaller 3D Bridge (easy and comfortable adjust for individual stringspacing) Custom made Amaranth Knobs [*]Special Laser - Gravur on the Body from the Movie Pans Labyrinth: The Head from Pan [*]Weight 9.5 lbs or 4.3 kg [/list] [b]Discription:[/b] As you know Bassculture works: they are very special and beautiful handcrafted with the knowledge of 20 years in wood processing and Custom made pick up's (Hotwire, Löwenherz etc.). This is a complete custom made and Unique 5er Bass Modell. The sound is awesome and various. I played this Bass in Big Band also in Rock and Metal bands. It can be used in passiv and activ mode via push pull mode on the volume knob. The Low B is a might, growly thunder but in complete harmony with the other strings and the entire sound of the Bass. Not only the comfortable weight also the construct of the body is as you are wearing an 4er. That is also with Neck (with 0 Fret) who has an thick of 0.98 inch or 2,5 cm. I haven't played an easier to handle neck from other 5er's. The instrument is in a perfect balance no top-heavy or anything uncomfortable. You can adjust the String distance to the fretboard very low without vibrating on the fretboard. I get the Bass on the 19th of May 2008 from Bassculture and the Bass still looks like iam getting it. Absolutely new without any damage. I love this Bass really and i give it away with a bleeding heart but i changed to DoubleBass. So i haven't the time to play on my Bassculture *Pan* cause to get fit on the DoubleBass it took my entire time. And its quite a pity only hang unplayed in my room.. The Bill or Invoice and the certifacte from Bassculture comes within. [b][color="#FF0000"]The Price i paid was about 2350€ (1960 £)[/color][/b] [b][color="#0000FF"]O.N.O : 1000€ (about 840 £) + shipping [/color][/b] I ship the Bass from Austria/Graz so the shipping costs depends where you are living.. Also included is a SKB 44 RW (those with the wheels) Basscase in mint condition and Perfect for travelling. Used it only 3 times. The original price for these case was 100€ (85 £) [size=3][color="#0000FF"][b]More pictures from the bass:[/b][/color][/size] [url="http://picasaweb.google.com/109673446782533362111/BasscultureCustom5?authkey=Gv1sRgCP3GuZOjmOjbCA#"]Basscutlure Webalbum[/url] [size=3][color="#0000FF"][b]Here are some soundfiles. (forgive me, they are not well played but they should only show the variety of the sound you can get out from this bass)[/b][/color][/size] [url="http://soundcloud.com/peppomueck/sets"]Bassculture 5 soundfiles [/url] If you have any questions: don't be shy!!

A very detailed description with photos and sound files make for a convincing sale, best of luck, joe[/quote] Thank you very much ;-) I thought nobody is happy to know about a piece of wood, with only some bad pictures and a small description. It costs a little work but it also costs money for those who are interested. I don't want to rip-off somebody and hope that the bass guitar get a good home ;-) Some extra Infos: The bass was handcraftet in 4 months. I drawn the Bass body first, cut it off from a piece of styropor and redesigned it for a comftable handling with an extraordinary design. Then i send it to the bass engineer Christoph Dolph and told him what i want to have and what he thinks about. He made little changes to the design, to get the perfect balance for the bass guitar. He also gave me the hole time advices about wood-combinations. The hardest thing was the amaranth fingerboard. It tooks a little time to get the right piece of wood. Also the idea to use Jatoba for the neck. Never heard it bevor, but Christoph told me to trust him that this would be perfect to the walnut body and the red juniper top. From looking and sounding. It was the right decission. It looks perfect to the body and sounding is (in my ears) damned cool with an endless sustain. Maple, what i normally prefer, would be to bright and Jatoba has nearly the same characteristics in density and sound like maple. Oh something i've forgotten: If somebody are interested in trading: 4 String Basses. Fender Jazz Bass prefered ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the sale..[/quote] Thanks a lot! Iam very suprised by the warm welcome to this forum. One notice: The electric cover on the back (wich is also made of walnut) is holded by magnetics. So if you have to change battery (in passive mode of course not necessary) this could be done in seconds. The magnetics are very strong and as an extra there are holes for screws, to feel more confident. But i never used it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Interesting! A new one to me. At a very good price too, looking at what you paid for it. Welcome to BC and good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i bet you will never find a better sounding 5er, handmade and with these selected wood combination. But its a special looking one. Thats a quite problem. The taste of the mass is fender-body like. Its very funny looking at that, cause everybody is trying to be as unique as possible. But when you take a closer look, the most people run in the same direction ;-) To clarify: theres nothing bad or good in that, its only a point of view. To have fun whatever you do, wherever you are this is the most importent thing for me [b]For all those who are interested: You could also send me a price offer [/b] Edited January 20, 2011 by freakbrother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than £850 for a hand-made, thru-neck 5er with a lot of character seems like very good deal to me... Good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
