ale29 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Greetings from Italy, I have a Mayones BE 4 Exotic for sale, Bolt-on. USA Bartolini pick ups and electronics, dead quiet even though they are single coils, bass was bought new 1 year and half ago, it's in MINT conditions save for some very minor scratches on the back of the body. Low action is achievable on this bass, currently 1mm @ 24th fret of G string and I'm playing with DGCF tuning. It's a great bass, but my Precision GAS is way too strong right now. I may even decide to just keep it and don't sell it. Here you can hear the bass strung with Fender flats: [url="http://soundcloud.com/ale29/tracks"]http://soundcloud.com/ale29/tracks[/url] Here the bass alone strung with roundwounds: [url="http://soundcloud.com/ale29/test-suono-mayones-be-4-exotic"]http://soundcloud.co...nes-be-4-exotic[/url] >>>I'm looking for [s]520£[/s] [b]500£[/b] SHIPPED in Europe. [s]1050$[/s] [b]1000$[/b] Shipped to the USA. I want a Fender Road Worn mainly, even better if Fiesta Red [attachment=115907:HPIM1586.JPG][attachment=115908:HPIM0967.JPG][attachment=115909:HPIM0973.JPG][attachment=115970:1.jpg][attachment=115971:2.jpg][attachment=115972:3.jpg][attachment=115973:4.jpg][attachment=115974:5.jpg][attachment=115975:6.jpg][attachment=115976:7.jpg][attachment=115977:8.jpg] Edited September 11, 2012 by ale29
ale29 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Replied to PMs and now added more photos. Just looking at these is making me regret for posting this for sale. I have the truss-rod cover, of course, just to clarify. I can mount it anytime. Also, if you do know a cheap and reliable way to ship internationally, please let me know. Lowest price I could find for posting this in UK is around 50€/40£. Edited August 18, 2012 by ale29
ale29 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Bump, price adjusted Edited August 22, 2012 by ale29
ale29 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) I've found a shipping company with lower quotes, it costs around 30-40€ for most european countries with UPS. See OP for the price SHIPPED Edited August 24, 2012 by ale29
ale29 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Posted August 26, 2012 New sample with the bass recorded alone and without any external EQing, various pickup and onboard EQing configurations
ale29 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 Due to lack of interest, further price reduction. Can't believe nobody is interested in such a fine bass. Even if collection is not an option (unless you are in Italy), I still have the original package used to ship the bass to my home when I bought it new, for a safe travel. 500£ DELIVERED OR 1000$
ale29 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 I hope so...come on, I've found a '82 Squier JV Precision for sale locally, if someone buys the Mayones I promise I'll put some nice photos of a bass that will turn 30 years old in 2 months!
ale29 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Since I'm a mr.nobody here, 5 posts and 0 feedback, to encourage buyers I may do the following thing: IF the buyer has a SOLID feedaback here on the forum, you can pay ONLY the shipment at first. You try the instrument, see if everything's ok, then you pay for the bass itself. If something's wrong, you return it to me at your expenses.

These basses are super, a joy to play and £500 is a gift!
ale29 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Thank you It's a nice bass indeed, I am just looking for a more vintage-ish tone with a P
shemeckfrac Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 ... so tempted now (with your offer). Will get back to you.
Graham Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 That's a great idea, I've just sold one of these and once the buyer tried it, he was convinced - you're getting a lot of bass for your money here
ale29 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks, I think this may have helped the sale quite a bit because the bass is on hold now.
ale29 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 shemeckfrac may be the next owner of this bass Off to England it goes! (it will tomorrow, actually) [attachment=117276:1.jpg][attachment=117277:3.jpg][attachment=117278:2.jpg]
ale29 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 Couldn't update the thread before, but the bass is SOLD now. The new owner (shemeckfrac) seems to be quite happy and I received the payment already after he tried the bass.
