SOLD PLEASE REMOVE £550

[FuNkShUi]

Bought this recently off Spyder for a crazy low price of £550.
Here is the advert:

I've wanted to get into jazz basses, i like the slimmer necks, but i cant.
I just prefer the sound of a Precision.
You may or may not have noticed me selling all my jazz basses recently.
I'd heard how good these basses were, and wanted to try them, so i thought i'd give jazzes one more go.
Wasn't for me. Decided to spec out a Precision with a jazz neck instead.


This bass weighs 8lbs 1
Has Nitro paint
The Haussel pickups give it a real vintage vibe.
I have the original rosewood pickup covers that i will include in the sale.
The Glockenlang 2 Band EQ is really useable. Huge variety of tones. Love the push/pull option to turn it into passive mode.

Here are a few pictures:

Not going to try and make money off this, even though as Spyder says in the original advert, it cost +£1000, and is in mint condition.
But it is a firm £550. Don't make me an offer, not interested in trades.
Its a absolute bargain for £550.

Just realised i used it for two of the bass noodle entries i made, so although this isn't the bass in a mix where it excels, here are some of the sounds the bass is capable of:

[url="https://soundcloud.com/tona-fied/noodle-3"]https://soundcloud.c...a-fied/noodle-3[/url]

[url="https://soundcloud.com/tona-fied/noodle-2"]https://soundcloud.c...a-fied/noodle-2[/url]

Both are pretty much recorded DI'd. The "noodle 3" has a slight boost on bass and treble. Minimal amounts and could have probably been done with the onboard EQ, but i didn't record them with the intention of using them to sell the bass. Noodle 2 has a minimal amount of reverb added


Come and try it by all means
I'll throw in a cup of coffee and biscuit.
I will courier at buyers cost and risk, or i'm happy to use buyers choice of courier.
Any questions and i'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks

Where are you based mate?

[spyder]

OMG.
My old bass.
This is an amazing bass even at full price.
At £550 is a fantastic bargain.
It can go from vintage funky sounds right through to modern scooped because the pickups and preamp are so versatile.
If I had the cash it would be coming back to me.

[FuNkShUi]

Based in South Wales.
As Marc (spyder) said, it's a brilliant bass.
Set up with a beautifully low action at the minute thanks to Marc

[shemeckfrac]

nice

[FuNkShUi]

Few enquiries, so i'll answer the questions here:
It will come in a really high quality padded gig bag.
It is active, but has the option to go passive
Not sure how old it is, maybe Spyder could help? But it is pristine. Not a mark on it

Cheers

Pictures of the bass when I owned it.
The covers are solid and look fantastic.
The sound from the Haussel vintage single coils are wonderful.

Hope this helps.

[FuNkShUi]

It definitely does.
Thanks Marc

It will be packaged with or without the neck attached (up to you), inside its soft case, surrounded by bubblewrap and newspaper, all inside a thick cardboard box

[FuNkShUi]

£1000+ bass, for sale for £550
£500 off a virtually new bass
In perfect condition, it plays and sounds fantastic.
Lots of interest, but nothing firm yet.
I really am amazed it's still here!

[flippyfloop]

Still interested. What strings are you using on the sound samples?
