gapiro Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) EDIT : PRICE DROP 175 £ Up for grabs here is a Fretless Hohner BBass4 . It is lined, and has a reasonably fresh set of d'addario lights on it. Features : Has a D-Tuner at the bottom which enables easy flick down into drop D (very useful) Has 2 band EQ (on same knob, the double one) Has Passive/active switch Fretless + Lined I am selling this as I just cannot get comfortable with it. The neck is quite simply too thin (front to back) for me that it hurts my wrists after about 5 minutes. Prolly fine for a Jazz player, but I play fat laklands / precisions I have no idea how much to value this at so i'm going to say that £200 is probably a fair price. I have no hard case so would prefer collection (cambridge), but happy to arrange a hard case + courier at buyers expense. pics below [url="http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff428/gapiro/"]http://s1235.photobu...s/ff428/gapiro/[/url] [b][/b] the back has a piece of sticky tape on. Not sure why, has been there all the time i've owned it. Update: Previous buyer pulled out as I hadn't realised there was a slight paint chip on the top of the neck. I'll post a picture shortly.

Bobby K Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Love my old B bass. They're very underrated I think. Was also my first attempt at a de-fret and I still use it today; sounds great! The de-tuner can be very handy too. Have a fellow owner's bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a quality instrument, straight as an arrow. Nice sound. I dont know how to tell if its a defret or not, not something I would know how to tell! As i said though, I'm a big guy and it just doesn't have enough meat for a guy like me to hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby K Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I reckon it's a de-fret; not sure they made fretless ones of these, maybe someone can tell me otherwise. Whoever did this de-fret made a much better job of it than me lol Mine was a bit battered when I got it, same colour as yours; had been partially sanded down by my mate (the previous owner). He'd started sanding it down because it had a silver skull and crossbones painted on it! He never finished the job, so there's still patches of black paint on it. I just loved the sound of it though and swapped my mint condition Hohner Jack (the headless one) for it. They're really nice and punchy basses for the money and this is a fair price I think. All the best with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassdude BE Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) uhmmm.. when is see this i just want to buy it and attack it with sandpaper untill all the black is gone and then put a nice natural oil finish on it... ... something to think about.. i'll sleep over it and get back to you Edited September 27, 2011 by Bassdude BE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby K Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yea, mine is an oil finish natural now (apart from the black patches lol) The back of the neck was also left black, for rigidity I think. These are thru neck too, don't forget. Bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gapiro Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Bump. Previous buyer pulled out as there is a paint chip on the top of the neck. Will post a picture later, dont know if it will make the sale of it impossible, or if would attract anyone to maybe sand it down. Will consider offers , or advice !
