MusicMan Silhouette 6 String Bass Price Drop £900 - *SOLD* £1500 Hertfordshire

[WishIcouldplay]

Price Drop £900

This is I believe quite a rare piece. It is tuned E to E an octave down from regular guitar. Just the same a a Fender Bass VI. Great sound and gives you that tic tac sound that was used on many country music records. Comes complete with case.

An interesting thing...

I believe Joe Perry from Aerosmith has one of these.

I've never seen one for sale in the UK before.

Very cool, a modernised, hardtail Bass VI!

String spacing??

[merello]

That is beautiful!

[WishIcouldplay]

TheGreek asked about the string spacing. 10.4mm at the bridge  7.2mm at the nut

I used to have one of these in the original blue dawn finish and it played and sounded great. I strung it both A to A as a baritone and E to E as a bass. In the end up I stupidly let it go cheap when I needed the cash. Sold it on the fretboard forum and then about a month or two later seen the music store Frets had it up for £1400 or thereabouts. Was right gutted then😞

I remember once taking the Silo bass into Guitar Guirar and they offered me £400 for it saying they would likely only knock it out for £800 as it was a niche instrument. I knew that was a bare faced lie so without saying anything, I shut up the case and walked out. 
 

They’re really great guitars and from my own experience they appeal more to guitar players than bass players. just imo and ymmv

 

Joe Perry plays the Silo bass on Aerosmith's ‘Back in the Saddle’

Just to note this is collect only.

[fretmeister]

I wish I had the money. I've wanted one of these for years and I cannot believe it hasn't gone yet.
