MrTea Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Original German Fortress Masterman 5 in generally good condition for its age. It's been played so not pristine and does have a few dings here and there. Nothing major and the only one of flag is a small knock to the side of the neck pictures here. You honestly really don't notice this but wanted to mention it for clarity. All stacked knobs work well and the active electronics give a great range of tones. No hard case but will be shipped well packed in an old gig bag and a tonne of cardboard and bubblewrap. I may have a guitar box in the loft although I'd rather take the neck off for shipping but we can talk about how we ship. I'd also rather the buyer arranges their own courier but again we can talk about this. Under normal circumstances I'd be happier with a meet up but unless I'm on your exercise route then that seems pretty unlikely for the foreseeable (and if you're the kind of person who thinks that it's still fine to meet up then please think again!). I know lots of people on here may have an opinion on the price - if you do please feel free to message me direct. I don't see these coming up very often so really wasn't sure where to price it. I've had one or two people tell me it's overpriced but more telling me it's underpriced. At the end of day I've priced it what I think it's worth bearing in mind what it owes me and what I need for the next purchase. Let me know with any questions. Only up for sale as I have my eye on something else. If that sells this may be withdrawn. I've bought plenty on here but sold nothing so it's my first time as a seller (and paying my subs!) but I have a feedback sale for purchases. Listing this on the computer and have more photos on my phone so let me know if you'd like me to send any more photos. Thanks for looking.

Fionn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Absolute bargain for a hard-to-find bass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander87 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Mate I would absolutely take it off your hands! I 'just' have an Alpher Mako on sale which I love but have to let go, I don't assume you're interested in trades up for cash and yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTea Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Afraid not - unless anyone has a Eminance RN4 or very tempting upright then cash is king on this at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Had exact same bass, finish ‘n all. Surprising tonal range and quality build. I think the price is a bargain, given the price of wicks these days. Like every bit of kit that comes and goes through my hands, I don’t know why I moved it on. 🤦🏻♂️ Edited April 24, 2020 by oldslapper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTea Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Cheers all - really hope I don't regret this but this will be making its way to a new owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
