woodyratm Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, I bought this off Basschats own Shockwave a few weeks back and as brilliant as the bass is, i just cant get my head to fall into using a 5 string again. So i'm looking to sell this for what i paid. I've asked Shockwave if he'd mind me using the pictures he took. This is the blurb that he wrote:- "Features the more favored 4/1 headstock, Montego Black/Gold Scratchplate combination with a lovely Maple neck. 34" Scale This bass has had the some what anemic original active electronics taken out and replaced with a John East J-retro Deluxe which gives you ultimate control over your bass. Features Active/passive switch, Bass, Treble, Extra bright push pull switch, Mid volume and Mid contour control, as well as a passive tone control! Maximum knobbage! [url="http://east-uk.com/jretrodeluxe01.pdf"]http://east-uk.com/jretrodeluxe01.pdf[/url] Complementing the pre-amp is a set of Seymour Duncan Quarterpounders, lovely hot pickups with loads of grind that can be toned down to a nice full funk sound. All electronics have been FULLY shielded with copper tape. There is little to no background noise when the bass is plugged in. The bass has a lovely Low action which is happy to be adjusted. The Truss rod is working well 100%. There are playing marks on the body which are quite hard to show up under lights. You would have to look at it in the right light to see!" I would be looking for what I paid for this bass - £900. I'm based in Aberdeen. Not sure what i'd be looking for in a trade. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141849&hl=Fender+deluxe"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...l=Fender+deluxe[/url] is the original thread.

woodyratm Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Okay i've decided to provisionally trade this. so its on hold. ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyratm Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Okay - The trade offer fell through - So this is back for sale (£900) or trade (Something? I'm not a P bass man though - PM me? Pref 4 string I think..) Can confirm that the preamp issues i was having was a mixture of the battery and amp having too much gain. Brilliant sound though. Got my eye on something so please get in touch! Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodyratm Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Bump - this is a bloody nice bass to play. Tradewise i'm looking for a headless status i think. but i'll consider anything! Or £900 - these appear to be well over £1k new - this has awesome pickups, amazing pre and has been shielded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyratm Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Should say also that i'm travelling to Leeds in 2 weeks time so could take the bass to trade/sell there. If trading i can also meet further south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyratm Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Bump - I'm probs looking to sell now rather than trade. I'm not doing enough to warrant 2 basses let alone 3. £900 collected - I will ship if required (at an additonal cost) or as I said, I'm heading to Leeds in a few weeks time so could attempt to deliver/meet then.

woodyratm Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Righty - i gave this another go at practice. Great tone - im just really not bonding with it. So £875 anyone? Someone should give it a home where it'll be used. I'll just end up sticking it on my stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
