garbev Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) Hello All, [size=6][size=5]Price drop to £550, and will consider P/X of good quality 1x15 cab[/size][/size] I've decided to sell my MM Status fretless due to my recent acquisition of a five string fretless (at last). The body is a '91 Stingray, beautifully grained Honey Sunburst with the P/up and electrics upgraded to a Duncan Bassline and 3 band eq system. The neck very playable, slim and comfortable. Amazing action with loads of mwaah and double bass growl in the low register. The range of tones is terrific, everything from Jaco to Pino, with a healthy dose of Dub thrown in for good measure. I'm looking for £600 plus postage which I think is fair. May be interested in a 70's reissue Jazz (Maple neck) or poss a Geddy Lee in PX. Welcome to try the Bass, I know S.Wales may be a trek. Chris(Beedster)had a look at it a while ago and I think he was impressed. Cheers, Gary. Edited October 17, 2007 by garbev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPQ Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Wow - that bass is stunning - if it plays half as good as it looks someone is going to get an awesome bass. More than I have available to spend, but I don't think it will be here for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbev Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 Cheers John, Its a great fretless, plays like a dream, sounds lovely, but I cant justify keeping it. I wouldn't play it and that would be such a waste. Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hey Gary Your new fretless must be pretty good for you to be selling that baby! As you said above, I played it, or more correctly I sat gaping at it and feebly fumbled a few notes whilst being blown away by what an incredibly sweet looking and sounding bass it was. I would have thought it was worth at least £800, even with today's rather delated prices? Good luck with the sale Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Great looking Bass..!! Two Questions.. Where did you get that scratch plate...? And what difference sound wise is The Seymore Duncan system compared to the the stock pup/eq...?? Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbev Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi Garry, I was lucky enough to find the plate on this site, used but not abused! The Duncan eq gives a lot more control over the mid range, great for fretless but the classic MM sound is there if needed. The "Slap" preset on the volume control is very handy, used in conjunction with the treble control on "cut" you can get a very smooth top end with lots of "air" but not too harsh. Cheers, Gary.
