jay Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Hello all, Due to the sad lack of use this bass is currently getting I am putting my Decade up for sale. I've had it for nearly a year, but i've only been using my P bass for some time so it may as well go to a good home. This is the active bass with chi-sonic pickups, but it features an active/passive push/pull switch on the volume control. The silver switch is to switch between series/parallel. The controls are, from neck to bridge, volume, treble, blend, mid, bass. The body is mahogany and fretboard rosewood, strung through body. It has one of the nicest, fastest necks I have ever played (or maybe thats just compared to my clunky old P). It also comes with an exceptionally light weigh armourdillo hard case a Lakland strap and strap locks. Weight is 3.15kg It is in very good condition, with the exception of a rather nasty ding just below the casing on the back, it was there when I got it, its never bothered me but i've been told it can be fixed for about £50. The only other noticeable markings are 2 very tiny dings on the headstock, I have done my best to picture these too. If your local I highly recommend giving it a try!
jay Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 This price would include postage, or I would knock the price of postage off at least if someone was able to collect. Will try and get some better pictures up soon.
jay Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Bump, a little bit of interest so far, i'm open to sensible offers....
HazBeen Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I have the passive version of this as my BEAD bass, great for rock/ metal as well as old school fingerstyle tones. Neck is great too! Have a bump on me.
jay Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks for the bump! It is such a nice bass to play with a beautiful neck, it really sings when played with a pick, but im a klutz when it comes to playing with one!
BB2000 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Blimey, that's light for a mahogany bodied bass! The only Decade I've handled must have been 12 to 13lb.
jay Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 yeah to be honest it feels much heavier than that, I think the scales I used weren't the best! Im going to borrow a more accurate device and weigh it again
EssentialTension Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 That is very light indeed - 3.15 kg is less than 7lbs. Mine is light, I thought, at 9lbs.
HazBeen Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 It will be between 9 and 11 lbs. Mine is just over 10.
fraff Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 These have a fantastically PPPHHHAAAATTTT vintage sound and vibe to them and, as the man says, fantastic necks. Have a bump.
