BjornZetterlund Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) I am selling this Dean 6-string fretted bass as I've only played 4-string for many years now. It is in decent shape and has not been played that much, although it has some ugly modifications...which are: The circle cutout in the back of the bass contains lead pellets and epoxy resin. This was done to make the bass balance better as the body is very light. I added a strap attachment point as shown. It makes the bass lean forward and means less angle for the left hand to try and reach around; probably not for everyone. The cutout between the pickups is so that strings can be muted with the thumb under the strings, which is a method I've always preferred. Electronics and pickups are unmodified. Cash and collection only from North London please. I have a little guitar amp for testing purposes. Can also provide a gig bag which is in bad shape but will let you take it home safely. Strap included. This bass was purchased new for about £400. Edited February 24, 2018 by BjornZetterlund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Very odd modifications... Did they have the desired effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BjornZetterlund Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Pretty much yes. I have done the same thing to my 4-string music man, with the exception that the body is heavy enough to not need any more weight to balance ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sorry can I just clarify... Is that lighter part between the pickups, a chunk of wood carved out of the body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 And a hole in the back with some lead shot glued into it..... to make the bass balance better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BjornZetterlund Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hi Rayman, yes, you are right about both observations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
