pluckedout Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Amazing bass, professionally defretted by Andy Viccars who did an amazing job. He removed the frets, filled the slots, removed the old dot markers and repositioned the side dot markers. If you look really close you can see the filler but you have to be looking very closely. Serial number is 0086 :-) These basses have a well deserved reputation as being incredible for fingerstyle and they sound as close to a double bass as it's possible to get. Incredibly well made, superb locking tuners and beautiful neck. This is the pure piezo model and is in great condition, no marks to speak of and comes with its original hardshell case. Strung E-C with £60 worth of Thomastik nyloncore acoustic strings or alternatively I can put a barely used set of Roto Trubass on it instead. I bought this on Basschat at what was a bargain price and I'm going to let it go for what I paid for it plus the pro defret. I reckon it would go for more on ebay but I'd rather it went to someone on here. PRICE DROP! £900 Shipping will be £25 in the UK fully insured with UPS, £40 for EU.

Guest Jecklin Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Wow! If only that was a 4 string version... GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 [i]Just as well[/i] it's not a four-string version... Very nice too. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6feet7 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) If only it hadn't been defretted Oh I wish I had the money Edited February 16, 2017 by 6feet7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluckedout Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 It could always be refretted! However I think it really suits being fretless, particularly given how good the piezo is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluckedout Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Forgot to say that whilst I am ideally looking for straight sale, I would consider a trade / partial for a status electro 5 string unlined fretless or pedulla pentabuzz unlined. Could possibly be convinced by a custom shop precision bass too or a Yamaha BB5000 or ideally BB5000A mkII. Need the space more than anything else but those are dream bass options ;-) Edited February 12, 2017 by pluckedout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I reckon this is one of the coolest basses that's been on here for quite some time. Can't believe nobody's bought it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6feet7 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 As a matter of interest, how much does it weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluckedout Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 3.1kg. These basses are lovely and light. Is now on eBay and getting a few offers but not quite there yet. Again, would much rather sell here so feel free to make an offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6feet7 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Trade for a Warwick Pro-Series Starbass V plus a bit of cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluckedout Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Thanks for the offer but I really need to make space - also, I think it has just sold, pending the usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
