Hi all

Would love to keep this but I am really not doing justice to it, and could use the funds for something else. I am also opento use it as px for a more expensive instrument.

This is a well known, lined fretless 5-string beauty I got from a trade here (see http://basschat.co.uk/topic/226160-fs-modulus-q5-fretless/).

3D quilted maple top in beautiful green, Bartolini PUs and 3-band ntmb 18v preamp delivering mwah for days. 35" scale. Beware: this is one powerful bass - one of the strongest output signals I've seen.

This can perfectly be the only fretless you'll ever need- it can do it all, it really sings beautifully, takes slap, tapping, chords admirably... harmonics jump out of the fretboard. The neck is very comfortable and obviously very stable. I just prefer a 4-string 34" scale for my fretless needs nowadays.

Now, importantly: this bass has obviously been used a lot, so there's significant cosmetic damage: large-ish dings on the headstock and neck (lower edge of fingerboard on first fret, see pic), there are 'vibrato marks' on the fretboard on the first few frets (3-7), miscellanous scratches and a few other minor dings in body - all pictured to the best of my ability, but I'll be happy to take more pics as needed. The bass is also not very light, but not heavy: just over 9 lbs.

None of these can be felt when playing and they don't affect playability or tone - which are both superb. But as a buyer I am picky and this is a player's bass, not a collector's piece - so I've tried to price this accordingly. It is strung now E-C but originally it was B-G, takes both without any problem.

Straight sale price is 1200£ including shipping and a very good condition Fusion soft case. No fee paypal or bank transfer accepted.

NOW AT THE UNBELIEVABLE PRICE OF 1000£ for a cash sale.

Thanks!

Bump - note all scratches and dings are in non-visible places. The only one 'visible' is on the front of the headstock, but hardly so because of the graphite figuring. I am so confident of the quality of this bass that I can offer full refund if the bass is returned to me within one week (shipping back at your cost)

Guess many people put off by my close ups of scratches etc - in the flesh they are less than it seems but, being a picky buyer myself, can't really fault them... However the bass is really wonderful, I wouldn't sell but I've come to realise I can only handle fretted 5ers with minimal competence...
