The bass weighs in at a comfortable 9 1/2lbs,and has excellent balance,and has heaps of sustain and no dead spots

I am the second owner,the original paid £2000 new,(have price tag)I paid £1400, 7 months ago,i am selling for a bargain price of £1095..ovno....no trades as i need cash for new arrival

Damn that's nice. After playing Luke's Vigier 5 at the bash I kinda fell in love with the shape and really want one.
Can't afford it tho
Good luck!

Hi Andy,

I remember seeing this on eBay a while back and I nearly went for it. I have recently sold a similar bass (same as this but the passion shape - sold it to Luke who loves it to bits - also the same one Merton tried!!) and still have two myself. I think they are incredible!

Good luck with the sale. I think the price is reasonable, I was asking the same for mine IIRC.

Cheers

hello...lovely bass! what scale is it? also what's the string spacing at the bridge and nut please.
cheers, carl

[ped]

It will be 34" (Actually 33.8" IIRC) and the spacing I think is 18mm... I might be wrong though as I haven't had one of these monorail bridges on any of mine.

Hope that helps
Cheers

These are stonking basses - I was very lucky to get my mitts on the aforementioned Passion III, formerly of Ped's arsenal of bass doom.

I have to say, it is now my main bass and has succeeded in stopping me from even contemplating picking up my two fantastic Warwick Streamers since I got it. It's so comfortable it may as well play itself, fingerstyle and slap are so easy and considering its a 5er, I have no trouble with it whatsoever in terms of string spacing and the neck profile is sublime.

Its safe to say I will never sell mine - so someone please take advantage of this and buy a great bass before my overdraft takes a battering!

Would you sell your bass to Germany?

Hi Ady, here I am again. So let's get ready to rumble...

Is it okay for you if we handle our deal with Paypal? I've used this way several times with bass-sellers or buyers in Europe (for example, I bought my Vigier Passion just 5 weeks ago from a guy in St.Etienne, France and send him his money by Paypal. It works always great and is a very safe way to deal. What do you think about it?
May I have your e-mail adress, so we can communicate directly....

Mine is:
