gillento Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) [font=Helvetica][size=3]Selling this for a busy friend:[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]The bass has been bought in 2002 and has been played on a regular basis up to 2008. It is one of three Fender Roscoe Beck VI owned and by far the best. It has a very tight LowB.[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]The condition of the bass is good (see the pictures). It has been adequately taken care off and only has the headstock marks and minor scratches that are usual for a bass of that age that has been played.[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3][url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fk1upcbelsz8uom/Kt8bRDbfx7"]https://www.dropbox....8uom/Kt8bRDbfx7[/url][/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]The condition is all original except for the routing of the output to the side and the add-on of an 18 Volt battery compartment at the back[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]The electronics cavity has been shielded with copper foil.[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Presently the bass is set-up/wired vol/vol/passive tone (VTC) blend/treble boost/Bass boost by Sadowsky. The original switching mode of the PU's has remained unchanged. The preamp can be defeated.[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]The modifications have been done by German master luthier Magnus Krempel.[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]The bass is delivered in its original case, that shows wear and with the original pick-up guard, three way-switch, pots so, so that it can be reversed to the original Rosboe Beck mode/wiring with the added Sadowsky preamp.[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]This would be from what I learned the way Roscoe Beck wanted the bass to be built but it seems that he was stopped by the Fender Marketing department for cost reasons.[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]At your disposal for any additional info.[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Price is 1600€ / 1300£ + shipping[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]feedback:[/size][/font] Basschat: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=64788"]http://basschat.co.u...showtopic=64788[/url] Talkbass: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/itrader.php?u=63576"]http://www.talkbass....der.php?u=63576[/url] ebay: [url="http://feedback.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=gillento&ftab=AllFeedback""]http://feedback.ebay...llFeedback"[/url] website: www.loes.lu facebook: [url="https://www.facebook.com/gillento"]https://www.facebook.com/gillento[/url] Edited January 2, 2013 by gillento
silverfoxnik Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Hi Gil, Lovely example and a very interesting modification on the original electronics! Don't see many in this colour either... Great basses IMHO and for anyone interested, I can vouch for the fact that Gil is a really good person to deal with. Good luck with the sale. Nik
