It is indeed a wonderful bass. If I did not have the Warrior it would be staying. It plays and sounds so close to the Warrior it really shows what good value the Milan is. The Warrior retails at £6000. 1

I'm really surprised it has not been sold at this crazy price. I now use a Warrior that cost around £5000 if ordered today and this Milan plays and sounds about 90% as good. If I didn't have the Warrior I would keep it. I'm not going to drop the price but would like to trade against any music or hifi gear.

binky_bass Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Cracking price. The market is super tough unless you happen to be selling the exact bass someone is looking for. Surely at under £600 this will sell... if it were a 6er I'd have bought it already.
tobiewharton Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Hi Spyder, What's the string spacing at the bridge and the nut width on this? Cheers, Tobie

spyder Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Sorry measured again and the spacing is around 17 18mm with a plastic ruler and the nut width is 49mm. Also comes with a set of pre cut strings worth £25.00. Edited May 25, 2019 by spyder

It is indeed a cracking bass. The bass cost me nearly £1000 because I put a new kent Armstrong active eq in and added coil tap switches along with many other smaller upgrades and hardware replacement changes. The market is very tough at the moment. Edited May 30, 2019 by spyder
