DolganoFF Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Hello, Everybody! I am selling this beautiful bass: switching to 5 string fretless, and my GAS-restriction policy doesn't allow me to have both I am in France, but maybe you guys there over the channel are interested too [s]I am asking 650 EUR plus shipping (will use UPS as a carrier) = £600 delivered.[/s] [b]£500 delivered[/b] Will consider trades - shortscales or PB-likes as well as studio gear is welcome! Hagström Scanbasses were produced between 1973 et 1978 I believe. They were called Jazz Bass first but Hagström was forced to change the name to avoid lawsuits from Fender. This one is in the best condition possible for its age, really rare. The bass is 100% playable, it has no problems whatsoever. Electronics was dead (non-functioning pickups, bad pots) when I've bought it but completely restored since then. Basic facts: = 34" = [b]one-piece[/b] mahogany body, beautiful trans-red finish . = mahogany neck, bolt-on, = unlined ebony fingerboard in exemplary condition = two single-coil pickups = passive electronics volume - balance - tone = mahogany is rather heavy however the balance is perfect, no neck dive at all This bass DON'T sound quite like Jazz Bass, surely enough because of the employed woods, mahogany-mahogany-ebony is not what we'd expect from Fender! It gives much more lows and low mids than usual fretless Jazzbass. Just to illustrate this, one small cover for you: [url="http://dolganov.free.fr/bass/hagstrom-bloody_sunday.mp3"]http://dolganov.free.fr/bass/hagstrom-bloody_sunday.mp3[/url] This bass imitates quite well fretless Precision (or was it Ibanez Musician on the "message in the bottle" already?) "Message in a bottle" (with pick): [url="http://dolganov.free.fr/bass/hagstrom-message_in_a_bottle.mp3"]http://dolganov.free.fr/bass/hagstrom-mess...in_a_bottle.mp3[/url] "So Lonely" (fingerstyle): [url="http://dolganov.free.fr/bass/hagstrom-so_lonely.mp3"]http://dolganov.free.fr/bass/hagstrom-so_lonely.mp3[/url] Wooooood! Electronics: old pots (horrible and cheap): new ones, "alpha" brand Edited March 28, 2011 by DolganoFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
