Miller 100% Carbon Fibre Hollow Fretless/headless £900

[alembic1989]

Im selling my beloved and extremely rarer German made Miller bass.
The bass is 100% carbon fibre in construction, made from 1 piece of carbon fibre...and completely hollow.
The bass is VERY LIGHT..WEIGHING AROUND 5LBS!
It is fitted with a Haussell MM type pick up with a 2 way switch...for series/parallel.
The bass is passive, and uses conventional strings, clamped at the headstock end.
It took me years to track this one down.
I seriously doubt you'll find another.
The company website gives very little info..but each one has to be made individually..none are available "off the shelf"
The condition is excellent..but there are two dings on the back of the neck
Im asking £900, but don't be nervous about making an offer.
Not really looking for trades....but I do like a nice bass so if you have something out of the ordinary..I'm willing to listen.

That is lovely. Oooooooh.

[Jonnyboy Rotten]

I don't normally like headless basses but that is something of a beauty! GLWTS

[alembic1989]

Thanks mate.
Still available.

[alembic1989]

El bumpo.

[Dazed]

Dag nammit my over curiousness!!

Don't suppose you have any sound clips of this??

[alembic1989]

I'm afraid not.
If you near Windsor ( Berks)...come on over and try it....kettle will be ready too ;-)

[Annoying Twit]

What an amazing instrument.

[MattM]

Indeed. Struck me that if my bass collection had to genetically reproduce, this is kinda what it'd look like. A SteinRay....

[topo morto]

So is this a fabfour, a fabfour startup, or something else? ([url="http://www.miller-instruments.com/basses-english.html"]http://www.miller-instruments.com/basses-english.html[/url])

[alembic1989]

Fab Four start up.

[alembic1989]

Bump......I really thought a bass as unique as this would attract more interest??

[alembic1989]

Bump.....no offers??

[chaypup]

Wow, that's the nicest bass I've seen in the For Sale section for a long time. GLWTS.

[alembic1989]

Up to the top.
So many people saying nice things about this tremendous bass..but no offers to buy.....just try finding another.......you won't......don't miss this opportunity. Loads of people who whinge about back/ shoulder problems...concerned about heavy basses...then this one comes along weighs nothing... Less than 5 lbs...all carbon..killer tone....and no takers sheeeesh.
If was a crap jazz bass in " candy apple red" ...........

I was intrigued by the look of this bass and your efforts in finally tracking one down, I decided to try and find another, a five if I could. It took me all of 5 minutes to track one down albeit with a 4 week wait! The following text is from Charly Mueller (Miller Basses) 14/04/2014 and applies to the FabFour and the FabFive!

Just sayin'

Well done to find one, at those prices, looking for hens teeth paid off for you. For me, if I did'nt have a Status Streamline, yes especially fretless, but, I'm trackin' down elusive NT Thumb 5's so a Miller is a dream at the moment. GLWTS

[alembic1989]

Thanks.
