Matte_black Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Hello! I need to get rid of these axes as I have too many puppies around... The first one is a hand made piccolo bass strung with new LaBella. It's 32" with Ovangkol/Maple neck and Wengé fingerboard. The body is Maple/Zebrawood, has EMG pickups and black brass hardware. The second one is a Yamaha BBN5 in Walnut finish. You know the bass, it sounds extremely good for the price. The Low B sounds amazing. £200 for the piccolo, £100 for the BBN. Pics asap. I can add a Yamaha hard case for extra money.

Matte_black Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Here are the pics. Sorry for the long waiting... By the way I'm based in Italy but shipping price is fair, about £30 or so. About the basses: the BBN is a great main instrument. It's solid, reliable and sounds very good for the price. The neck is steady and the action is low without problems. The piccolo bass is basically a custom 32" bass with piccolo strings. It can be strung standard if so desired. It's very woody sounding and bright. The finish is a bit on the rough side but at this price is a steal. Both basses come without case, I can ship them as they are or dismounted. Cases available upon request.
