Ovation 5 string, fretted Acoustic Bass [NOW SOLD] £385 Aylesbury, UK

[Bass Wielder]

Edit: SOLD. Much thanks👍🏽

I must be mad but...here goes..!

This is a rare 90’s round-back, fretted 5 string, acoustic/electric model, with multi sound-holes.

Black finish, with the traditional Ovation leaf design, gold tuners, OP24+ pre-amp, bound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays.

In gorgeous condition but not being played much hence the reluctant sale. It does not come with a proper case/gig bag but I may have a soft case somewhere that I would give. (Note: now found! Yea!!!)

 

Collection preferred from Aylesbury for safety, and that way you can actually hear how great it sounds...., but I can deliver (after payment) to a reasonable distance en route to a gig etc.....or you can take the chance.

Professional set-up with round wounds, nice low action at the nut and bridge. If you decide to change strings, you may have to adjust accordingly. I’ll put a fresh 9v battery in with the sale.

Thanks for looking.

Tried one of these in the Seoul music market in the 1990s when I lived in Korea.  £440 asking price ( before the inevitable bargaining).  Should have bought it. 

Bit quiet acoustically, but really nice amped up. 

Couldn't find its like in the UK when I moved back.  Rare to find here.  If you want an acoustic bass ... Well worth a punt.  Kinda tempted myself .....

Tried talking the new guys into some acoustic tracks. Not gone down that well...🙄

[Bass Wielder]

Love the good comments😉keep 'em coming😇.

It's a good instrument but I'm playing a 4 string fretless ABG at the moment...and happy.....so this fella is not seeing daylight (or nightlight) sadly.
