Beedster Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) For sale is a rather lovely Breedlove Solo unlined fretless acoustic in hard case [url="http://breedlovemusic.com/guitars/solo-bj350-cme4-bass-fretless"]http://breedlovemusi...4-bass-fretless[/url]. List price was over £1,000, and it was available in region of £700 but is now discontinued. It’s the only acoustic bass that’s ever worked for me, and the list I’ve owned includes top-end basses by Ovation and Takamine, so it's held it’s own against some pretty stiff, and far more expensive, opposition. It has quite a big tone compared to most acoustic basses, and the LR Baggs pre-amp is extremely good of replicating that tone amplified. Bass includes rather nice hard case which I understand was an optional extra over and above list price. £450 ono Demo by an enthusiastic Canadian with a striking resemblance to Damon Hill in his later years here [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQEn2jlaGd4"]https://www.youtube....h?v=gQEn2jlaGd4[/url] Selling it because it's not getting played any more, if I need an acoustic tone now I used DB. I'll miss noodling on it it, and it's a shame to be selling such a lovely instrument, but chest la vie I can post it (hard case is very good) or you can collect from Canterbury, Kent Chris [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/Mobile%20Uploads/6D7AFB92-3659-4EDE-913D-2F78C19F0F93_zpssy0vnewt.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/Mobile%20Uploads/F45B9D19-480D-48D4-89DC-1E17EDDEC7D2_zpsuk9hzhb6.jpg.html"][/url] Edited June 6, 2016 by Beedster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisanthony1211 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 You do sell some very nice gear, I gigged with the Ampeg on Saturday and she was beautiful, plenty loud enough for an un miked drummer, never got above 2 o clock on the volume, I'm digging the 64 channel......

[/quote] That's because I buy too much nice gear Chris. I'm so glad the B-15 worked, and I'm so glad that what sounded like an excessive claim that you could gig a 25w amp on 2/10 and still be heard with drums proved legitimate. There is no better amp for gigging, and given you've a '65 and a Flea, I doubt you could be happier. Although you could probably use a fretless acoustic for the occasional ballad Cheers C PS folks, I need to raise cash sharpish so this will go on eBay tomorrow if it doesn't sell here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 I do need to sell this so any offers will be treated with appropriate courtesy (I'm not saying I'll accept them but that if I decline, I will do so courteously) Just to add to the above, this is a very nice instrument. Two things to note are that this is a big bass that projects, and there is a sound-hole in the upper side of the bass allowing you to hear yourself very clearly (there is a rubber stop that allows you to close it also). I used it as a back-up in my old bluegrass band and it has a great slap tone when amplified (more Stray Cats than Mark King I should add). So that's three things to note. It also has a lovely hard case. Four things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
