Sold pending: Conklin GTBD7

[nobodysprefect]

Took this one in trade with the intention to sell, so.

A nice, affordable extended range bass. Surprisingly playable, has very good, usable tone. I have no idea as to the specs, but I think the string spacing is 17 mm-ish, the scale is probably 34". What I do know it's easy to play, balances really well thanks to that long upper horn, and would fit right in on most kinds of groovy music.

As you may see on the pics, there's been some repairs done on the bass. I think the luthier did a VERY good job, and the bass should be good for years to come.

Comes with a gig bag. Asking GBP800 plus shipping or 850 shipped, at buyer's preference.

This little beast used to be mine! Tis a real beaut of a bass and Ville is a man to be trusted. There's one of these second hand at bass direct for £1200, so this is a deal! Lovely bass...

Thanks mate!

Actually, in the spirit of moving stuff along, I'll knock a fifty off the price, but it'll come with a gig bag.

And mine, that was exactly the same ended up with a guy in Spain! Probably one of the best 'affordable' signature model 7 strings on the market I reckon! Decent bart pickups and Bart pre and rock solid hardware make for a great bass. I think the price is good for a shiny example

So tempted... Shame I can't justify it!
Best of luck with the sale mate!

[binky_bass]

Justify it man! It's an awesome slice of wood! My hands used to caress this very beast, tis worth justifying!

[nobodysprefect]

It's a cracking piece of kit, you really should justify it! Speaking from experience here : sometimes, a piece of kit opens up new avenues and styles of musical expression. More range and great ergonomics is more likely to do that than a new colour.

Everything about me wants to have this, but alas I haven't the pennies to rub together.

If I get a job and get the funds I'll get back to you!

Best of luck with the sale either way!

[nobodysprefect]
