HazBeen Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Update: bought a light bass recently and need to recoup part of the cost. Drop to £925 + shipping. No longer looking for trades. With great regret I am putting up my BBP35. I only recently bought this from @Al Krow of this parish and I can honestly say it is the best passive bass I have played in a long time. Unfortunately I have developed quite bad back issues (well I have noticed them) in the last few months and have been undergoing physiotherapy and other stuff to sort my back out. Good news, it is much better thankfully, bad news is that 4kg is about the maximum weight I can stand for longer period of time. My doctor is strongly urging me to go “light”. At 4.7 kg to my regret this bass is just too heavy. Please see original advert below with all details and specs, I hope you are okay with me using the pics @Al Krow. The condition is exactly the same, only minimal signs of use. Looking to get back what I paid at 995 quid, plus shipping. Am willing to consider trades for low weight 5 strings. Will be in London on the 17th and can take bass with me if shipping is not what you want. SIGH....... Edited December 26, 2019 by HazBeen 1
Al Krow Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Great bass from a top BC'er! Real shame about having to let this go Harry, I know just how much you were blown over by the quality and tone of this bass. GLWTS Edited December 3, 2019 by Al Krow 1

Very reluctantly sold it for reasons similar to yours. What a bass, though. Someone will get a peach with this one. It's a really great instrument. 1

Makes me wish i had brought this and not the 4 string version, 1
xroads Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Great basses - I have one and it rings like crazy. Just as background info: the heavier weight is due to the maple core in the body construction, i.e. somewhat inherent from the construction of the bass. 1

Indeed, although 4.7kg isn’t that heavy for a 5. Only .2 kg more than my other 5 and lighter than my 4 string Ray (amazingly). All are too heavy for my back though so in time all will have to go.

dave_bass5 Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 That's a shame. I'd need to sell my P34 before i could get another bass at this price point.
HazBeen Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 I have my eye on something .... but I have a limited timeframe to buy. So dropping to GBP 925 SHIPPED for the week or so or until the bass I am eyeing sells.
HazBeen Posted December 11, 2019 Author Posted December 11, 2019 Missed out on what I wanted to buy, so back up to normal price.
