Aero71 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Stunning 1992 Blade Levinson B4 jazz bass, original and good condition. Well used, some small dents, but nothing serious. Lovely colour, gold hardware, reversed tuners, ebony fretboard. I'm sure everybody knows how good these japanese basses are, and this is no exception. £750 / €850,- Shipping is no problem.

gillento Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I saw Morcheeba a few years ago and the bass player was playing a B2. He had a massive tone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero71 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Just found out this is a B4, not an B2. (different controls) Also on request some additional pictures of the control cavity and serial number. Edited October 13, 2019 by Aero71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I bought an amp from the fella who was the UK Importer for Blade. Very good bass player and he spoke very highly of them. I've been tempted ever since but fortunately my Overwater covers my Jazz requirements. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other Blade jazz is enough for my jazzy ambitions. I'm more a Precision and Stingray type of guy anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
