SOLD!!! Maverick S5 Active

[Wilco]

These are no longer made, but the Maverick brands reputation was for selling guitars & basses that punched well above their pricepoint. This is in virtually as new condition - original new price £599.














Cheers,

Thank you - plays like a dream too!

I always loved those roller tone controls. I thought they'd have been more popular, unless they're patented.

A bump with some spec info:-

Two piece American alder body
AAA Indian rosewood fretboard
One piece Canadian rock maple neck (with a nice grain pattern on the back!)
Trim pot in the rear cavity for adjusting the pickup gain

Action is very low with virtually no fretbuzz & there are no deadspots either.

'Tis genuinely a lot of bass for the dough.

I've got GAS for a fellow bass chatters instrument that's up for sale, so i now need the green folding stuff asap.

Here's a couple of opinions about this model from Harmony Central (note both buyers paid £550 & the first one did in Jan of this year).

Asking price is a bargain, but now open to offers so pm me - you never know!!

An "ooops, I've bought another bass without selling this one first" type bump.

Will now chuck in a Planet Waves locking strap into the deal like this one:- [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/planet-waves-50pla04--55453"]http://www.dv247.com/guitars/planet-waves-50pla04--55453[/url]

Noticed these S5's on Ebay & the sellers have set a buy it now of £450.

I'll say it again, this is a brilliant price for this bass - a semi pro instrument for Squier money.

Still open to sensible offers too
