Gold Tone 23" Scale Micro Bass **Sold on that Fleabay" £295

[dodgnofski]

😍Gold Tone 23" Scale Micro Bass fretted, in excellent condition, complete with a new set of La Bella Silverback strings - which are far superior to the original rubber ones.

In my humble opinion, these are much easier to play than the two Kala Basses I had before this - those extra few inches on the scale really do make all the difference, as does the cutaway to allow greater accessibility to the higher frets.

The electronics and Tuner are superb and seem very high quality.

The heavily padded Gig Bag is also in good condition, apart from some slight 'cat scratch' to the front pocket & a small section on the rear.

Yes! I got one of these. I started with a kala as well but moved it on. The gold tone is infinitely more rewarding to play just due to the scale and cutaway. Very nicely built as well.

Wouldn’t mind hearing what it sounds like with those strings. 

In fact I’d love to hear what the fretless sounds like with them.

Thanks Guys - she certainly is a beaut😍. If only I wasn't a Technophobic old fossil of gargantuan proportions, I could post a sound bite type thingy ☹️☹️🙈🙈!!

With the original rubber strings it sounds very much like an upright Bass - (which reminds me, I think I still have the original set of Aguilar Reds somewhere, which I will obviously include - if I can find them).

With these new La Bella Silverbacks - it sounds more like a regular Electro / Acoustic Bass to my old cloth ears.

Amplified through  my little MarkBass 602 Combo, it sounds monstrous - with either set of strings 😃😃👍👍.

Hi Ian,

I think it may be sold, but I'll give you a shout if it falls through - if that's OK?

cheers
