funkle Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Hi all GAS strikes again. Selling this to fund a 6 string. Rare, excellent condition, hands down one of the most resonant instruments I have played. Really excellent build quality, for example I found when I took it apart to check the electronics that the shielding job is excellent; even the reverse of the pickguard has been shielded. Solid as a proverbial rock. Some of the upper frets are in need of polishing. Otherwise the bass is in excellent working condition. Really interesting preamp - schematic from the back of the bass is in the pics. Reviewed well in Bass Player when it was released, though sadly I don't have a copy of the original review. 21 frets, alder body, 9V preamp, humcancelling alnico pickups, great sound. Video of one in action - [url="http://youtu.be/dIcdamEVc5c"]http://youtu.be/dIcdamEVc5c[/url] I'm looking for £350 plus p+p for this excellent professional instrument.

Guest subaudio Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi Just bought the fretless version of this, really great bass. Could I ask, how does the frets need of polishing manifest itself, sorry if that's a daft question, haven't come across that before, could you also tell me if it comes with a case/bag please and what the shipping would cost. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers[/quote] Looks like in the UK insured and trackable shipping about £20 - 25. Some scummidge on upper frets which I have polished off other frets but haven't polished off a couple of the other upper ones. A couple of minutes work with some polishing stuff I bought from a guitar store would do it. Photos don't show it well, will have to see if I can find a better pic. No case, very old gig bag which would be only for shipping purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less familiar with the BTB series, I hear they're nice basses, but on balance probably will pass. Many thanks for the offer though!
