SOLD. Shergold Marathon 4 string £500 FS / FT Another trade added. VI Bass. £500 BB22SH

[itsmedunc]

For sale if my lightweight (must be sub 8 1/2 lb) Shergold Marathon (not stereo). Lovely old bass with lots of character but I’m missing not having a Precision and so, as versatile as it is, I’m going to move it on. I got this from Ash of this very parish and due to Covid, it’s never left the house. This is not a collectors item and has some laquer crackling and dings and scuffs but nothing that affects it’s playability. Lovely low action and a sounds rather beasty!

I have no hard case but will pack securely for postage at buyers cost and risk. Collection and trial preferred though.

May trade for P Bass. A white one would be wonderful 😁

Might consider something MM. Maybe USA Sub etc

 

The ghost is back to haunt me. Will consider Fender VI or similar string spacing VI. Condition colour not important as long as it plays well.

 

May also consider something Barefaced..

 

Cash either way possible for the right bass.

That’s lovely.

How does it compare to a p bass?

It sounds very old school indeed. I've tried re-recording some tracks with it what originally had a JV P and Jazz bass on and it worked really well. It has a big old thud and cuts through the mix remarkably. It sounds great to me, Jazz style profile neck, light, white with a maple board. All the things I love. To be honest I can't understand why it's up for sale!

My white fretless stereo version is the only bass I really regret selling but back then it was a strict 'one in one out' policy, so tempting 🤔
