Jigster Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) This is a lovely bass, plays so well - guessing people have read about the build quality on these (TRB BOY is a particular expert on BC if ever need more info)... What can I say, it's not quite my sound, yet I really rate this very highly. Made about 2010 I believe. Hand made German construction which is flawless. Has a few scratches in the body, but only basic play wear. Two of the signature dots came off. BUT....the necks on these are amazing. Active/passive 3 band eq in active mode Glockenklang preamp [attachment=113373:DSC_0012_2.jpg] [attachment=113374:IMG_1734.jpg] [attachment=113375:IMG_1735.jpg] [attachment=113376:IMG_1737.jpg] [attachment=113377:IMG_1738.jpg] [b]Comes also with a white pearl pickguard[/b] One tiny issue only, the jack plug seems to take a straight jack cable better than the right angle headed input jacks - don't know why, but the right angle ones don't sit so well in the socket. I think the jack is slightly recessed - yet it's very solidly attached.

TRBboy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Awesome, awesome bass at a great price! I really can't praise them highly enough. As Jigster says, the necks are just amazing! Good luck with the sale dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 A hand made 'Ray-a-like but without the weight for £500? Someone should take your arm off. I can also attest the to the amazing build quality of these basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine plays like a dream and the 3 band eq allows you to get whatever tone you're looking for. Outplays a Fender any day of the week. It's a shame they chose to call it a "Basic" as it's anything but basic - top quality build and great necks. Best of luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigster Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 These basses rock - hand built and this is available at only £500 - it's half the price of a new one, not mint, but in pretty darn good shape, and did I say it was HAND BUILT? Did I say exquisite neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigster Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 I guess Olli there is that thing, as you can observe a lot on BC now, that people wait for the subtle price changes that thse days make the financial plunge somehow more worthwhile - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
