Bassdude BE Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 (edited) Trade options: I'm honestly not good enough of a fretless player to justify such a high level fretless bass (current models sell for >4k), so I would prefer a downtrade with a cheaper 5-string fretless + some cash my way. Other trade options are: Eich 12", 8Ohm cab, Genzler 4 on the floor, TC Electronic Ditto+, 5string P-bass, synthy bass fuzz, expression pedal for moog mf101, interesting fx-pedals. W.h.y.g.? 🙂 Up for sale/trade is this beautiful custom Manne Guitars Fretless 5-string bass. Everyone who has ever played this have said that this is one of the best sounding fretless basses they'vd ever heard and I can only agree with that sentiment. The passive single coil and humbucker offer a very wide range of quality tones and really allow you to dial in your own sound. The fact that it has both a normal (Jack/TRS) output as well as a direct out (XLR) means you have loads of optons for splitting your signal both on stage and in the studio. A specially designed onboard transformer provides an extremely clean extended range signal; you can plug straight into a board or your amp. The body is made of mahogany with a maple/mahogany core and a beautiful poplar burl top. The neck is super stable and made out of multi-layered maple and mahogany. The board is made out of a very dark phenolic resin and is equiped with 24 fretlines. The 5-way switch switches between different pickup combinations and the knobs are overall volume + an active tone control (bass boost). The bass has a 34" scale super comfortable neck and the total weight comes in at around 4kg. The bass just had a complete check-up and both the scratchy volume pot and output jack were replaced with new, quality parts. The pickup cavities were shielded, I've put new foam under the pickups ,redid a part of the wiring and installed a fresh battery for the onboard transformer and active tone control. The bass also got a detailed set-up with a fresh set of d'Addario 40-125 gauge nickel roundwounds and now she sounds and plays as new again, so you can basically plug and play straight out of the box. The bass comes with a Warwick gigbag that fits it perfectly. As you can see on the extra pictures (see link: https://link.2dehands.be/m2196629500 ) there's quite a few superficial blemishes on the body and some superficial wear on the fingerboard which I highlighted in the pictures. However, unless you really start looking for them these are not really visible to the naked eye. (Please check the 2dehands.be link above for more pictures as I couldn't add them all here.) The bass will be safely packed and well padded to ensure safe shipping. Price in Euro: 1500€ o.n.o. Any questions? Please ask! Greets & Grooves!

Bassdude BE Posted November 12 Author Share Posted November 12 Post now updated with the correct specifications. I'm the second owner and apparently not all the info I got from the first owner was correct. Thanks to @pslh for pointing out there were some mistakes in the description (It's all sorted out now). 😉👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pslh Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I will just add that the workmanship on Manne basses is really top-notch, I have played a few and my Acustibass fretless 6 is my go-to bass for jazz gigs. Whoever buys this will be getting something rather special, GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
