*Withdrawn* / Alpher Mako Fretless 5 String £1200

[Escarraman]

I am offering here this truly amazing Alpher fretless. Over the past 30 years I have always tried again and again to feel confortable with 5 strings. Apparently these years have made me older, but not wiser. Again and again I have to find out, that 4 strings are my thing.

This bass is incredible. It sounds and sings so good. It clearly has been designed as a solo player, as it comes with a hi C and a D-Tuner. It is mint condition.

Here some specs:
tuned e to c with drop d tuner
33 inch scale
body black limba
maple burl top
wenge/veneer in between
burl maple neck
ebony board
x2 custom wizard jazz pickups in custom positioning with black limba wood cover
ramp in between pickups
16.5mm spacing at bridge
hipshot hardware
3 band preamp John East SPM 2

Trade value around 1.200 GBP

I am looking for a fretless 4 stringer (fretted basses are also possible, if you have something, offer it). Mainly Alpher or ACG.

The Bass is located in Mainz Germany. A gig case is included. Shipping costs to GB are around 26 € (with GLS).

Know what you mean about playing 5-strings (I've had the same problem but still find them very tempting)
Have any pictures of the side of the neck where the dots are ?

[Escarraman]

Does this help or shall I make some pics later on when I'm home?

Maybe this helps (Very sloppy playing and recorded over the mobile phone):

Pawel, it's an ebony fingerboard as well as an ebony top pickups wood ramp cover.

And the bass has been fully set up by Christophe LEDUC including a slight fingerboard differential dressing to make it perfect again, so the action can be very very very low (Yes, it used to be mine just before it moved to Pawel).

Merci, Tony! :-)

Beautifull! wish I had the money!

[wombatboter]

Is B E A D G also possible ?

[Escarraman]

Yes. I tried it and it works well. But then again, what would be point of the D-Tuner?

[wombatboter]

True (but I prefer a lower B instead of a higher C)
Fantastic bass by the way, I'm trying to be rational :-)

Absolutely beautiful bass this.

Shame you’re letting her go man! Good luck with the sale!

This is extremely cheap!!

Something like this ordered new today would easily cost double!
