martfitz Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) [center][color=#FF0000][size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Clover Argo 5.1[/font][/size][/color][/center] Ignore where it says £1100, amending the Price or Trade Value box doesn't appear to do much. For sale is my very nice Clover Argo 5 string, currently strung E to C, I have not changed the nut, just tweaked the saddles slightly and it plays brilliantly, so could go straight back to a low B. Reason for sale is to help pay for my wedding, so I'm not desperate lol, seriously I don't have to let this go so I won't entertain silly offers. No trades I'm afraid. I've never really used low B's when I've owned 5 string basses in the past, so thought I would try it strung E to C, which worked for me, even with my small hands, it will be a shame to see this go as it is real quality but at the end of the day I will always pick up my 4 stringers first. The build quality of this bass is excellent, I think the weight is 10lb, but it does not feel heavy, and I have a dodgy shoulder. Mahagony body with quilted maple tobacco burst top & binding, 34" maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, fingerboard radius: 508 mm (20"), 24 medium sized frets It has two DELANO Xtender custom pickups, these are both quadcoils and sound immense. Each pickup has a toggle switch rather than the standard one for both, this allows each pickup to be set to series, parallel or single coil, you can get some really nice clean sounds all the way to some real meaty growl. The EQ is Delano with push pull on the Volume for Active/Passive operation, pickup balance and the usual Bass, Middle and Treble. The string spacing at the bridge is 18.5mm (0.73"), string spacing at the nut is 9.0 mm (0.35") The neck width at the nut is 45 mm (1.77"), neck width at the 24th fret is 76 mm (3,00") I do not have a hard case, it comes with a good padded gig bag, I can ship but would rather collection or meet/deliver within reason, I travel a lot with my work. I changed the scratch plate to a pearloid white one, but still have the original tortoise shell one.

Hoffbass Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 These are superb quality. I had a Clover Avenger 5, never had to adjust the neck, neck pocket was the tightest I ever seen, soundwise incredibly versatile, its playability just ridiculous . Anyone buy this, it's gonna be a great deal!
martfitz Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Cheers Hoff, they are superb, once the wedding and honeymoon is paid for I will get the 4 string version as they really versatile basses.
martfitz Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Bump - Could be interested in trades with something interesting with 4 strings and a bit of cash my way
timmchale2009 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Why does this have to be a 5 string?! WHY?!???!
martfitz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Sorry about that, if you can find a 4 string one then you won't be disappointed, I'll get a 4 string one once I've paid for my wedding etc. Someone has got a lovely 4 string Avenger for sale on here too.
