Beautiful Ovation Magnum IV Bass from the late Seventies, Mahogany Body, very comfortable and straight as an arrow neck, selected ebony fretboard, the frets were serviced and the bass plays great all across the board, active electronics with plenty of sound options with a great looking 3Band EQ, great playability with very low action, one extra hole for a second strap button was drilled by the original owner and there is surface crackle on the pick guard around the input jack - other than that there are only playing marks that are normal for a vintage instrument, Magnum Basses are unique and high quality instruments, I am letting this one go because I have switched to playing upright bass, The beautiful Ovation Case is included as well, This is a private sale with no warranty or returns accepted,

Instrument is located in Vienna, Austria, Please feel free to contact me for additional pics or info.

Open to offers, no trades though, as I need to the money towards the purchase of an upright bass.

Dont forget the neck pickup has individual volume control for each pole for string volume balance, which can be

seen in the posted  photo of that lovely neck pickup

 

I had a Mag 3 - lovely beast of a bass.

Thanks for posting the picture. Yes, that´s an awesome feature indeed!

BTW I have a Magnum 3 for sale too, in case you are looking for one of these.

I have switched to playing mainly upright bass, so I´m letting my other basses go...

You can see the thought and care gone into its design and manufacturing.  
 

That is a thing of beauty (unlike my bank balance sadly) 

 

100% agreed! Alone the quality of the ebony used for the fretboards on these is quite something. The custom made Schaller bridge, graphite reinforced neck and the whole especially designed pickup/EQ System...An instrument built new today, with specs like this one would cost a fortune...I think the Magnum is one of the best basses ever built. Which is why I have two of them. I´ll also be selling the passive one, as I have switched to playing upright bass.
