SOLD Bolin NS 5 string Bass Peizo pick up £995 Malvern, Worcestershire

[sunfish]

A rare opportunity to own a Bolin NS 5 String Bass for £875

This is a truly beautiful bass I got in a trade recently.

I had good intentions of returning to 5 string playing but it isn’t happening and I am now ogling another bass on here -  so here goes.

The design is as a result of collaboration between Ned Steinberger and luthier John Bolin and built by Bolin in Idaho USA.

This is a stunning instrument in very good condition. There is a ding on the lower bout which is difficult to see when playing. Other than that it is really pretty instrument that plays like a dream and light weight.

35in scale

Graphite nut

Slotted headstock

The body is Alder with quilted maple top

With an ebony fingerboard

Fishman piezo under each string.

18V preamp

Light weight

With Hard case

 

I’m in Malvern, Worcestershire

Happy to meet up half way within reason

I love the elegant simplicity of this bass. Do you have any sound demos, I can't find anything on youtube? What is the exact weight? Thanks

[sunfish]

Hi

The bass weights 8lbs.

I've attempted to record the bass plugged into a TC Electronic combo with the eq set completely flat so you can hear the instrument itself using my Zoom H2 recorder 

The noise at the start is me switching the recorder on!

Apologies for the crap playing!

 

Thanks for the questions
