CalDeep Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) NOW £500 - Had no cash and then had a car accident on top. Looking for speedy sale. Hey! Up is my Breedlove fretless acoustic. I got this as part of some demo stock from Breedlove from Drew at GBBL. As such the case is in used condition but I have gigged this bass a total of 4 times in the 4 years Ive had it, its been used lightly at home other than those gigs, the bass itself is mint. This is now discounted and has been replaced by a cheaper model. It sounds utterly beautiful and is really rewarding to play. Unlike most acoustic basses its long scale so is quite a big beast! It has a really clever side sound hole too for tuning. Ive only played one acoustic that I preferred to this and it was £2500. I am happy to string this with D'addario Phosphor Bronze strings before sale if you don't dig the muted sound of the tapewounds. I also have some spare uncut nuts and saddles if you want to set it up differently. RRP At time of purchase was £1200. The newer models are currently £1049 on google. If circumstances were different honestly, I'd keep it just to have it. Based Liverpool but travel around quite a bit. Im also happy to ship as the case is rock solid. Heres a video of one being played much better than Ive ever played it. It is currently strung with Rotosound Nylon Tapewounds like the video.

alyctes Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 One of my guitarists has a Breedlove fretted six-string. Lovely thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is self-funding, is a better singer than he thinks, and a really very good rhythm player. The half is not so much fun to be round, but writes. Both of them have gone really quiet recently. To the point I wonder if I've been fired but they are too wimpy to tell me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soledad Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 That demo sounds fabulous, lovely woody warm voice. If it wasn't for the lockdown and being a bit overstocked on the bass front, I'd be a bit keen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
