ash Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) I bought this bass off Fleabay recently, it has been the subject of a discussion on here. It's a great bass made from quality US parts from the Mighty Mite USA factory and assembled in the UK by Peter Cook Guitars. It was made in the 80's and this example has been professionally refinished in a striking red! The hardware is brass and gold with Schaller tuners. It's numbered 30 of a limited edition. It sounds great and the action is very low. It plays as well as my US Fenders and JVs. I'm selling as it's just a tad too heavy for me at 4.8kgs. Electrics have been cleaned and it's been strung with 40-100 Roto roundwounds. I'm looking for what I paid and I reckon it's a bargain for such a good pro quality instrument. No case. Sorry no trades. Pickup preferred but I will post at buyers cost, UK only.SOLD Edited July 4, 2017 by ash
Byo Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Lovely bass and great price! Shame that it's a bit too heavy for my taste. GLWTS, I doubt it will be on here for long! Edited June 11, 2017 by Byo
oldslapper Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 That looks like a lot of bass for the money Ash. No use to me as it has those metal strips things on the neck...I won't fret about it though. Just a GLWTS bump.
ash Posted June 12, 2017 Author Posted June 12, 2017 It's a very good bass for the dosh! Thanks Consider trades for a Markbass LM head or NYcab
itsmedunc Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I'm sure this was on eBay about 4 years ago for a grand? I think the seller said they were a mighty mite outlet?
foxyFuze Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Most intriguing. Page about it here,which auto-translates surprisingly well from German. Has sound clips as well. http://www.bassprofessor.info/index.php/all-about-bass/bass-museum/mighty-mite-rock-bass-ii-ltd
ash Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 I'm not really interested in trades other than Markbass amp/cab gear I'm particularly looking for a Markbass 802 so I'd give cash plus this. I'd also be interested in a straight swap for a Status Shark. Nothing else. This really is a high quality bass but not good for my low quality back!
gjones Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Me playing my own Mighty Might many years ago. DI'd straight into the PA. Really nice sounding basses which cost over £400 back in the eighties. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjXErDb7CDw
prowla Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 That has to be a good buy! Unfortunately, I've been spending a bit too much recently and really need to thin out my collection now, as I've overdone it. OTOH, I've about to pull the trigger on selling a CMI Matsumoku Ric copy which is going to be a bit more than this one...
