DiMarco Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Selling simply because its time has come. I always bring my Fodera NYC Empire and sometimes the Sadowsky or Stingray neckthru when playing a fiver. Bass is completely original except for the pre-amp which I upgraded to a John East Uni-pre 4 knob. Original Bartolini pre was broken when I bought the instrument. Balance knob is wired reverse like it is on Sadowsky basses. This is due to one pickup having quite short pickup wires for the wire routing. The Sonus has a somewhat thicker neck than more modern copies but not baseball bat thick. Very low action, no truss rod and not needing one. Scale is 34". Will ship anywhere in Europe, hardcase included. Selling to UK is a nono due to brexit unless you want to pay a lot of taxes. Top pic is overly shiny, bottom one more truthful. Beast of a bass! Looking to fetch 1900 euros for it + P&P. Local pickup in Hoorn, the Netherlands also possible.

itu Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 This is probably not the 519 model, is it? Spacing at the bridge is then 17 mm? One fine bass, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbass Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Nice bass, I also like to know the string spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 17mm seems about right. Same as my Warwick and EBMM Stingray. It is the first version of the five string model, simply named Sonus 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbass Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Okay Thanks but I prefer the 19mm GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiMarco Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Fiddled about with the john east pre in there. Adjusted the treble freq and bass higher + lower frequencies it boosts/cuts. Also changed the default "middle position" nature from "slightly scooped" to "flat" mode. Plugged it into my Hexa Valve. Oh boy. RETRACTED. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
