Guest MoJo Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) It is with a certain amount of trepidation that I put this fine instrument up for grabs but I can only justify owning a bass if I'm actually using it and although this bass is an absolute tone machine, it doesn't suit what I'm doing at the moment. The P-bass I traded my BB415 for with Craig (basschat's Basswesty) is the dogs danglies for my rock band and my other P-bass, currently strung with D'addario Chrome XL's is just the job for my other band. More info on the bass + pics available on the original thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4707&hl=BB1500A"]here[/url] Currently strung with almost brand new Elixirs 35-95 and comes with a softcase. I would expect this bass to fetch in excess of £300 on eBay but to fellow Basschatters, the offer is the original £215 I paid for it + shipping/insurance costs Edited February 22, 2009 by bassman2790 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I own the original 'twin' of this bass (BB2000 bought 2 from new). They have a great jazz 'honk'. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter[/quote] They do indeed. If one was in the market for an active Jazz, this bass would be a serious contender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedontcarebear Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I just practiced with my one of these today for the first time, they are actually awesome basses and I would have no issue using this instead of my Sandberg at the gig if I had to.

After removing the grunge I had to repair the preamp, steam raise a few dents from the neck, reseat a few frets and do a fret level. Turned out to be nice player though. It's good to see it's still doing the rounds at the price I sold it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
