xilddx Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It's a great bass, never goes out of tune and has been unremittingly reliable for the the three years I've gigged it. She's been very well looked after, regular lemon oil on the fingerboard, recent fret dress and set up, only one tiny ding on the bottom edge that I only just noticed today. There are a four small holes in between the top of the pups where I fitted a thumb rest, easily filled and touched in. Very, very light rash on the back, unmodified. I'll also chuck in a spare set of D'Addarios DBEs too. She has a great tone, active with a bypass switch that means the electronics work even if the battery is dead. I bought it new from the Bass Cellar a few years ago. I'm looking for £265 ono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 My spare bass is a 5 string hohner jack, and it's a really easy bass to play with great feel and balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Ealing, W London. I haven't got any useful "soundbites". She's sort of a bass-for-all-seasons, a great range of tones that are in sort of Jazz Bass territory. Not growly like a Warwick, more warm round tones with a bit of snarl in the treble. With the active switched on you can get DEEP dub sounds, warm round tones and she's got good slap tones too. In-between Jazz tones are there too because of the two volume controls. Hope that helps! If you want to try it, PM me and we'll arrange a time. Cheers.

xilddx Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Christ! Sold. Only one bid at the start price of £100. A bit sickening really. Honour prevented me from doing summat like getting a mate to make a last minute bid though. Things must be bad out there at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
