On hold for Eli - Fishman Acoustic Bass Soundhole Pickup - Rare Earth - *SOLD* £150 Chesham

[Chiliwailer]

Fishman Rare Earth soundhole pickup, bass version. Active. 
 

 

These have been discontinued for years and are super rare, not just by name (or overly optimistic sales advert  ).

 

Personally, I can’t stand piezo on an acoustic (wasp in a tin can?), and think these pickups are far more natural.  Though unfortunately playing my acoustic bass exacerbates nerve pain, so this pickup is now surplus.

 

The pickup is in great condition,  comes with the box and instructions. 
 

Postage not included, but can post at cost via Royal Mail, your choice of service. 
 

Cheers

I think what Andy's asking is whether the bass is also going to be for sale Dan

I’ve had it 30 years Chris, I can’t allow it to become another notch on Andy’s very impressive bedpost 😊

Just a cheapie Ozark, I got it in 1994 and it was well used then. 
I gigged it a lot in my 20s, with one of these pickups, happy days. 
Too painful to play now, too sentimental to part with. More than anything, way too battered to get more than £50 for 😂
