alanbass1 Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) I got this in a recent trade as I thought I would give 5 string a go again. Alas, I'm a dye in the wool four stringer so no point in keeping her. It is a fantastic bass that is in great condition (just two minor dings that are difficult to photograph). Plays great with such a nice neck for a five stringer, and sounds awesome. Comes with fitted case and strung with a brand new set of Elixir 45 - 130.

Schnozzalee Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Missed out on the 4, bought something Yamaha and now I'll miss out on the 5 These are getting hard to find too
lowregisterhead Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Just been watching Ed Friedland's glowing review of this bass on YouTube - do the A.R.E. and I.R.A. manufacturing processes really make the tone and clarity as noticeably clear and consistent as Yamaha claim?
alanbass1 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) All I can say is that the bass is extremely resonant and 'alive'. My original '62 P Bass have these characteristics so whatever the reason it is an excellent sounding bass Edited June 14, 2016 by alanbass1
alanbass1 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Posted June 26, 2016 Final price drop to £1,400 collected. If it doesn't sell at this price I will keep her
mattbass6 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 That is stunning. One of my dream basses. I just missed out on the opportunity to buy one of these about 3 years ago. If I had the money, I would be on my way, right now. Gutted I will miss out on one again. Good luck with the sale but, keep it, you might regret selling this beauty
alanbass1 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 Thanks, but being a five stringer I just don't use it
