Azola Bugbass - ON HOLD FOR POTENTIAL BUYER UNTIL MAY - *SOLD* £899 London

[Clarky]

Bought on the forum in September 2021, very portable EUB from the highly-respected (and no longer manufacturing) Azola. Planned for use at a series of gigs in Scotland in 2021 that ended up being cancelled ... and I have not subsequently had any need for it, so testing the waters to see if any interest?

 

Full 3/4 sized DB neck, with piezo pickup (with front facing volume control).  Comes with side rest, Innovation Silver Slap strings (plus original La Bella strings) and gigbag. Side dots on neck are stickers I applied which can be removed easily.

 

Last pic is from the previous owner to show how it looks with La Bella strings; note, I don't think I have the stand, I play using the endpin).

 

I will sell for a bargainous £899. Pickup or meet close to SW13 (London  south of Hammersmith Bridge) preferred.

Is that body hollow, or partly chambered @Clarky?

Just wondering whether this sounds quite DB-like? Interesting looking bass.

Hi Marc, its solid as far as I can tell. The weight is 5.94kg or 13.1 pounds, without side rest.

Found a video of someone playing a Bugbass (note: this was a version of the instrument with more rounded shoulders) to give you an idea of the sound

You would be hard pressed to find an EUB of this quality for the money. If more background info is required, here is the 32 page (!) mega thread on Azola EUBs on TalkBass https://www.talkbass.com/threads/azola-eubs-megathread.367975/

The original documents that come with this bass.

 

Please note: I might be able to post, although it could well work out at £30+ given the dimensions

[Clarky]

I put in a dummy UK address and it comes to £37 delivered via ParcelForce 48 (or £80 with UPS, eeeek)

Bumping this to keep it on the radar. Please note, due to riding accident last week (resulting in cracked ribs etc), I do not currently have the physical ability to pack etc but I reckon it should be possible within a week (or at least I hope so)

Ouch.  I hope you're feeling better!

(In the mean time, have a sneaky bump.)

Thank you! Going to take some time (cracked ribs take 3-6 weeks according to my friend Google)

 

Meanwhile, I would take a near offer ... even though I think its underpriced as it is!!!!

[Clarky]

Anyone fancy this at £899 including UK shipping or £850 collected?

[Clarky]

On hold .... pending some international payment and collection arrangements

For anyone following this, I have a potential buyer but the bass needs delivery to friends of his when they return to London in a month. SO this will be 'On Hold' for some time!
