FINAL PRICE DROP. RATHER SELL ON BASSCHAT. PRICED AT WHAT I RECKON I WOULD GET FROM A SHOP COMMISSION SALE

Well, I've got my eyes on a replacement for this lovely bass so am now looking for sensible offers. A few more details are below,

Bathroom scales say 4.5 k, but it balances great

Nut string spacing approx, 8mm

Twelfth fret spacing approx. 12mm

Bridge spacing approx. 15mm and 17mm (adjustable)

Cost from the maker approx. €4,500 

See below for better pics of a couple of paint only damage, plus the lightweight, but well padded gig bag.

 

 

 

Well I waited six years to find this bass, unfortunately my arthritic left wrist is no longer able to deal with 18mm spacing in the higher registers. So rather than keep getting frustrated with trying to play it I'm now looking for a good home for this beautiful bass, so that I can release some money to buy a four string version.

It's hand made by Sander de Gier in Holland and was built in 2017. It's in "Inca Silver" and is 34" scale on a maple and rosewood neck. Pickups are Nordstrand NP5 V.

Other than the pictured small impact mark in the paint on the under side rear of the body, it's otherwise unmarked. It weighs around 4k, certainly doesn't feel heavy and balances perfectly. Comes with the excellent stock de Gier super padded gig bag.

I would consider an exchange for a four string p j bass type (not Fender thanks) of a similar value. A de Geir would be perfect!

I prefer a face to face deal and live in Bournemouth, always prepared to meet in a car park somewhere within reasonable distance.

Sound clips are available on You Tube.

Any questions please ask.

Hi incredible bass. Would you ship to Norway?

[graham1945]

Hi Lender,

As a last resort I would, as long as you appreciate that there will be a fair bit of paperwork, plus Norwegian VAT and import duty to pay. I have shipped to Finland without any trouble, but that was before Brexit. 😡

Jubel!

I had a 4 string Soulmate and it was an absolute stunner. My favourite P design I think

[Vincentchen0809]

Really want this, but could you ship to Taiwan?

[graham1945]

Sorry Vincent, the logistics of that are way beyond my comprehension.

That this has not sold yet is beyond me. It is literally below half price for a bass that is on par with a US Sadowsky. If I lived in the UK I would have bought this ages ago.

Totally agree - I’ve just done all my money on a Japanese Sadowsky but if I wasn’t spent up then this is a steal 😯 

[graham1945]

Agreed! 👍

I'm going to miss it.
