MuddBass Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) [color="#FF0000"][b]Crafter Cube 5 ACTIVE Five string bass.[/b][/color] Used, but good condition - vertually as new in fact! . One very slight mark on back. Needs a clean / polish / set-up. Sounds great. Brought as a spare bass, but as rarely used, now it's gotta go.[list] [*]Bolt-On Neck [*]Ash body, lush deep purple finish - see enlarged pictures. [*]5 Piece Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard [*]Mono Rail Bridges [*]Active pickups - with a great feature on passive switch on vol. pot too! [/list] [attachment=5893:Crafter_1.jpg] [attachment=5894:Crafter_3.jpg] [attachment=5895:Crafter_2.jpg] TO CLEAR AT NOW ONLY [b]£165[/b] INC POST in UK. I brought new for around the £370 mark in 2006. Hell, I'll even throw in a brand new set of strings too if you pick-up from me in Southampton Would make for a great spare 5 string or as a great introduction into 5 string basses!!! Thanks GREG Edited April 27, 2008 by five-string.co.uk
Mike Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Hey Greg, just registering my interest. Still thinking on it though. Is there a case?
MuddBass Posted April 27, 2008 Author Posted April 27, 2008 The B is what i would describe honestly as 'fairly' tight, with plenty of bite & grip when used in Active mode. Passive mode not quite as nice. For the value of the bass its good
MissPenguin Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 You're in Southampton! That's where I live! This looks slightly possible.. I'm guessing there is somewhere in this city we can get books on how to play 5 string?.. If not.. I could probably work it out. Is this still available? Please reply!
MuddBass Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Bump - Still need to sell - to help funds towards a fretless Anyone wanting a back up five string, or a decent 5 string to start learning on - this is a bargain!
hubrad Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Dunno if this helps - free bump anyway - but I have the Congress 5 Fretless. The original strings sounded, well, all right until you got to the B which was pants! Now equipped with Picato flats and vastly improved. I also upgraded the pickups to EMG 40 J and P5 for yet further improvement. Nice inexpensive basses, the Crafters. Many good comments from bands in which I've played, too. £165 seems like a super bargain price! p.s. I might be selling this Crafter on once I get my No.1 bass - Ibanez mega-customised - back on the road.
