Sambrook Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) An awesome bass, in pretty much brand new condition. Bought new Oct 2020, bedroom use only. Horrendous vet bills force a reluctant sale. The bass excels in 3 distinctly different areas: 1. The 3 band eq on the piezo produces a really authentic upright tone (bass, treble all the way up, mids all the way down), plus a wide variety of other tones. The bass would be sufficient with piezo only, BUT... 2. The magnetic bridge pickup is just awesome, really tight, but big at the same time ( can't really describe it more accurately than that). It has it's own tone and volume. 3. The 13 pin allows connection to the Roland synth products, which are a whole other world to explore (I am also selling my Roland GR20, with the extras needed...) The only negative (in the interests of strict honesty) is it's size: it's a big beast. Not heavy, but long. The gigbag is made specially for it. I found this video helpful when doing my research. £900 Inc delivery, well wrapped and boxed. They are £1600 new at the moment, I believe... It's wearing a set of LaBella white nylons, which suit it perfectly, in my opinion. Cheers for reading.

alyctes Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Ooofff... Damn it. I'd love it, but there is no way I can afford it. Good luck with your sale! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassdude BE Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) I've tested the fretted version of this bass for a German music store a while back and it absolutely killed! Loved the sound and playability of it and have been lusting for the 5-string fretless version of it ever since (they only had the 5 string fretted and 4 string fretless version of it in stock at the time). I.m.e. most of them are relatively heavy tho, so if you have a lightweight one that's definitely an advantage for the potential buyer! I'd love this, but I would have to sell some other gear first to justify buying it, so I guess someone else will probably snap this up before I manage to get the money together. It definitely is a great sounding instrument and I haven't seen a lot of the 5 string fretless versions for sale on the used market, so that makes it a bit of a rare beast. G.L.W.T.S.!

Masse Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 what is the string spacing at the bridge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambrook Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Sorry, just seen this. Will measure tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambrook Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Sorry for the delay. As far as I can see, it's 16mm at the bridge. I'm never too sure how accurate I am, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masse Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thank you 16mm is very small ! It's generally 18mm (on my Ken smith black tigger 5 and Mayones Jabba 5) or 19 mm (on my F BNF5) I'v send a mail directly to Godin to have a confirmation I keep you informed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambrook Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thanks. I did think it was a bit small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
