Hey guys time for me to shift some gear!

I love my sixer but unfortunatly it's going to have to go in favour of a nice amp deal!

Basic specs I know are:

2x MMB pick-ups,
active electronics,
maple neck with rosewood fingerboard,
ash-body,
die-cast machine heads and chrome hardware.
Colour: Transparent Black.

All of which are found on here [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb600tbk_6string_ebass.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb...tring_ebass.htm[/url]

I've had numours compliments about its tone for a low end bass and a great introduction into the world of six strings!

Only has minor wear and needs a longer screw for the battery compartment but I'll show that in the pictures.

Will post pictures tonight or tomorrow when I've sorted my computer properly.

Looking for £85 collected from Buxton (Inbetween Manchester/Derby)

The missing screw (which would be easily replaced it just hasn't bothered me) and the few dings that it has are shown in the pictures.

Enjoy

It's definatly gigable, presoulnation used it for a few gigs for a while and said it sounded great

Either way it's not STUPIDLY heavy for a six string and it's pretty versitile tone-wise

Your always welcome to try it out through my Ashdown rig if your ever in town!

Fleetwood? It's Harley Benton ain't it?
Seen Tanglewood 6-string basses similar.
But hey, someones getting this for £85...thats cheaper than a 4-string!!!

It started off at £100 not £85 so yes it's a price drop I've done plenty of deals on here before and I wouldn't try anything like that :)

Not heard of Fleetwood basses before, any higher end items?
