Sold Pending the Usual Now £1100 Takamine B10 Fretless Upright Guitar Hybrid £1600 Macclesfield

[redd]

Hope this is ok to post here as well.

Awesome fretless 4 string bass. With fret markings. This is the model before the TB10 that retails on the net just over 2000.

Fantastic bass in fantastic condition. Only selling to fund a custom build so I'm trying not be open to trades (you might change my mind with a top end 5 string but I'm trying to stay strong).

(Or a Warwick Star Bass 2 ).

This bass can be played as an upright with an included tail pin. 

Neck is arc shaped to allow for bowing.

I also have a solid flight case and a soft case.

Based in Macclesfield.

I am borrowing one at the moment and yes its 34" and yes it sounds awesome - can do a great upright bass impersonation as well as a more 'regular' fretless electric bass sound. Dunno about downtuning though, not sure I have ever come across anyone trying this (there are a few Youtube vids)

Thanks appreciate the clarification.

Hi. How sturdy is the flightcase? Looking at the possibility of getting it shipped to Dublin.

[Happy Jack]

The hardcase (it's not really a flightcase, if you know what I mean) is a thing to behold. Vast and cavernous, solid and reinforced, very plushly padded and with a special slot for the huge brass end-pin, it weighs three times as much as the bass itself and is perfectly capable of carrying around small children or large dogs. It has big, brass catches everywhere and a very tough leather handle.

Thing is, the case is finished in a reddish-brown faux-crocodile material which looks quite nice if you like that sort of thing. Or if you're a crocodile. By the time the baggage handlers have finished with it, its condition is unlikely to have been improved by the circumstances.

EDIT: For clarity, I'm talking here about the case for my TB10. I've rather assumed that the B10 shares the same case, but on reflection I don't know whether that's ... erm ... the case.

I've played it mate, just need to find a way of paying for it and finding the time to collect it (12 hour round trip from here)
