Bilbo Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 (edited) This bass has done the rounds and has been owned by at least three people on here that I know of. I have no problem with the bass fundamentally but am not getting on with the low B so want to get a 4-string to replace it. This is a video that fretmeister didn't do (he isn't who I thought he was) when he got the bass in the year of our Lord 1492. Nick Latham makes it sound better than I can. The 'kill switch' he is talking about appears, to me at least, to switch the bass between active and passive modes but I may be wrong. I have just put a new battery in it which will save you £3.49. I don't have any specs but suspect they are easy enough to find if you want the numbers. £1000 and it's yours Edited Tuesday at 08:53 by Bilbo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 I've owned this bass and as a result I am constantly looking for the 4 string version; I'm not a 5 string player, otherwise I'd still own it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 Not getting on with 5 strings you mean? I've owned a 34" Consat Custom and the B was perfect (not floppy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted December 12 Author Share Posted December 12 Yeah. I have had about 5 or 6 basses with a low B (this Marleaux, two Status basses, a Harley Benton 7-string etc) and they just never sit right with me (and the music I play doesn't really require it, if I am honest).

warwickhunt Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 Might be worth mentioning that it isn't a heavy bass (especially for a 5 string). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted December 12 Author Share Posted December 12 Yeah... Apparently it's a really light bass 😁 (having lugged a Wal around for 38 years, EVERYTHING feels like a light bass to me). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 great basses and a great B strings IMHO. when this popped up I thought the £1000 was just the deposit 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
