Graham Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I'm selling my Mayones Be4 bass, specs are below, it's a cracking hand-built instrument and I'm a little loath to part with it as I recorded my band's first album with it but it's not really the tone I'm going for these days so I'm selling it to fund a P-bass for the covers band I've just joined. Amazaque body Arch-top Mahogony neck with maple strips Rosewood fretboard 24 frets contoured neck-joint EMG active single coil pickups (custom feature) Aguilar OBP-3 pre-amp (custom feature) Mayones branded hardcase, Mayones strap-locks, manual and allen keys The custom pickups and pre-amp were fitted at the factory when it was built (usually Bartolinis) and really add to the instrument; tone wise it's very clear and punchy, but with all the bottom end you'd need. The pickups are harmonically rich and detailed and the pre-amp is superb - best description I can think of is tasteful, adds or cuts in each band very nicely. I play in a metal band and it has a great sound for that - no more getting lost in the mix! - But would definetly suit a rock, funk, jazz, fusion or pop player just as well. It's currently tuned B-E-A-D but obviously nothing the local guitar shop couldn't change I've had to withdraw this for now as I need it for a recording project, but it may be back depending on circumstances.

Graham Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Cheers guys, hopefully get it sold soon as I can't wait to go bass shopping - I've been reading through the tonewood thread and am looking forward to A/B testing two precisons with Maple and Rosewood fretboards
Graham Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Bit of a bump before i start thinking about ebay
Graham Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Bump I am open to offers if anyone's interested :-)
Graham Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 Another bump before it goes on ebay at the lower price
Graham Posted September 10, 2011 Author Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Ebay ended up pulling the add becasue I'd used Warwick and Spector's brand names in the title - didn't know you can't do that If you want to hear it, I recorded all the songs on the below Myspace link using it www.myspace.com/echovirus Cheers, Graham Edited February 24, 2012 by Graham
Graham Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 Can't get it up to the shop this weekend, so one more week before it goes - last chance!
