retro Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) PRICE DROP TO £800 For Sale: My lovely Clover Avenger 5 String Handmade Bass in cherryburst. Bought new in late 2012 and has only been used in my home studio. (Price New £1,695) Clover has been making handmade basses in Germany since the 1980's and this is a lovely example. The three Delano pickups give a huge range of tonal possibilities which are enhanced by the 3 band Delano EQ. All pickups can be used individually or in combinations of two or thee giving some really big sounds both modern and retro. 3 knobs for bass/mid/treble boost and cut. Treble control acts as a tone control in passive mode. 1 push/pull knob for volume and active/passive modes. 1 pickup selector in combination the bottom switch. Top switch alternates the bottom two pickups in parallel or serial modes and produces a nice bass boost both in active or passive mode. 24 medium frets. Alder body with one piece maple neck. Side and fretb/d markers. Weight: 4.1kg/9lbs. 3 way adjustable high mass custom bridge set at 19mm at the moment. Plays like a dream with a slim fast neck, 20" radius strung with La Bella Vapour Shield long life strings. No trades as I need the funds for a new bass I have found. Collect or meet half way. Can arrange courier if necessary at cost. Comes with original Clover gig bag. Here's a link to a comprehensive review.

BassApprentice Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) I remember seeing that in a magazine and instantly falling in love with the Avenger. That neck is amazing! Sadly outwith the GAS budget but good luck! Edited January 12, 2017 by BassApprentice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
