6stringbassist Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) I fancy something different. I've had this for about 2 years, it has done more gigs than I can count, at least 100 this year, but it is in mint condition. It comes with a custom built flightcase that's nuclear blast proof. Features include a Walnut body core, Buckeye burl facings with matching headstock, 7 piece flame maple and wenge neck and an ebony fretboard. 34" scale, 24 frets, blue side LED's, Bartolini P4 pickups and has an Audere preamp. Trades welcomed, the basses that I'm really interested in are as follows Status, Zon, Sei, Modulus, Alembic. Must have at least 6 strings though unless it's a Wal or a fretless Zon ! I'd love a Wal 4 or 5 string, a Zon fretless would be cool. Fretted or fretless. The new price for this would be at least £3500. For a straight cash sale I'd want as close to £2200 as possible.

EBS_freak Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Well that's something that I thought I would never see...!
lozbass Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Just wow!!! Absolutely beautiful - useless to me (and I have nothing to trade), but lovely to see some images of one of the most jaw-dropping basses on the planet

I just bought a Zon that I'm blown away by, the tighter string spacing of 16.5mm makes it a totally different instrument to play, this is a bit wider at about 18mm. But besides that I just fancy a change, and this is way too nice to be just sat on a stand. Who knows, tomorrow I may decide to just keep her.
mattbass6 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Ahh, stop teasing us with such beauties I would love a Sei Bass so much. I have a TRB 6JP if you're interested. I can but wish. Good luck, a stunning bass.
6stringbassist Posted December 8, 2009 Author Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) I've had a lot of interest in this. A few people have enquired about a straight cash sale rather than a trade. If I were to sell it I'd like as close to £2000 as possible. I know that's a lot of money, especially with the current recession and with Christmas just around the corner, but this bass is worth every penny. New you'd be looking at around £3500.

purpleblob Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Okay, I've got a Warwick 6 string fretted (not sure the model) and Warwick 6 string fretless (proline I think) a Wilkes fretless 4 string, MIDI WX7 wind controller and synth, a cuddly toy, a book on how to invest in the stock market - I'll trade you the lot for that bass :-) Seriously I would have jumped at this at that price (of £2k) at any other time of year but at this time of year I'm skint (unless ofcourse you do wanna trade for that lot above) Good luck with the trade/sale though.

4000 Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 This is one of my favourite basses ever. I also prefer narrower spacing but I think I could make an exception here!

It's heavier than my Zon sonus 6 but not as heavy as my Modulus Q6.
