Bass Wielder Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Ok! I've reduced this and made a small change! Linked to Facebook as well! I've decided to part with this awesome beast. Highly and professionally upgraded. Supremely flexible with solid tones from Motown, Funk to Latin and Jazz, it has never let me down. I'll never get the money back that I spent on it (or the labour of love put in).... It needs a good home now and to be played (it was being neglected as I'm using some endorsed stuff). 5 string, 35" scale, maple neck and fingerboard with binding and blocks, natural finish ash body. (Marcus Miller land). Few work marks (it is a working bass but in good condition). Ok the mods: John East J-Retro deluxe active preamp (the best!!) Schaller M4S tuners (solid and true) Delano JC 5AL (modern and clean) Fret job (new frets so no unevenness and buzzing) Kahler whammy bridge with original arm and two custom made extras (Solid, flexible, and unique) String tru body (with ferrules) option (it does make a difference) Fender basic gig bag DR hi beam set (brand new in the box) Schaller strap locks (in gold. Safety!) And I'll chuck in a Trinidad made leather/nylon strap. Phew....any questions? This must go to pursue another dream so reduced but such a good instrument that I am a bit saddened actually very sad , However I'm sure it wil make someone else very happy [open to reasonable offers] I had this bass from new in 2007 (a very good 'Jazz' copy) and gradually had the modifications professionally done to make it a true one of a kind, and versatile instrument. It needs to be played more and I can't justify keeping it as I have acquired a couple new instruments. It has a few marks from use over the years but nothing major so its in great condition. I'll include a gig bag with the sale.

Bass Wielder Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Now where is that lucky buyer? This beast would slay the unsuspecting listener (victim)!! The original one (this included) are better than the newer ones (quite common but still just in my opinion...). How about this? I'll even do some coffee throw in a lesson (if you need one of course) and have a general bass chat to the buyer (if he or she picks up). Or the boring old postage (buyer arranged...) Any takers?

Grangur Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Dear Mcruiz, Welcome to BC. Can I please ask your opinion on something? If i had a bass you were interested in, would you part with £1000 of your hard earned cash on seeing simply one picture? I'm sure you're genuine and this is a really cool bass, but dropping the price by a few pounds won't get me reaching for my credit card. I'd want to see more, good pictures before I'd go for it. I hope this helps. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Wielder Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Tell you what, if you're really interested you can pm me with an email and I'll gladly send any further info.... If you're just into bass porn.....(and time wasting to a genuine seller) elsewhere or even somewhere on this forum is perhaps better for you. Not upset by the comments at all.. Oh and to answer the question, I'd do just what I recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
