gobasserk Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 I'm selling my custom made - 100% hand-built Explorer bass from Germann-Basses. Selected maple top, walnut body. The bass has two Kent Armstrong PUs and a very cool sounding Glockenklang eq! The sound is very piano-string, big bottom and very clear highs and mids. This beauty comes with a very good Rockbag- gigbag. Price is 800 GBP. The bass is located in Germany, shipping within Germany is 20,- Euros, to England I will pay half of the shipping costs! PM or e-mail me. ([email protected])
rumour6 Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Hi there, first off welcome... I'm not in the market, too many basses as is.... but just had to say I think the bass looks superb and seems good value at the price. Good luck with your sale. Andy

The bass is 1 year old and I am not very happy with selling it! But new wishes sometimes force you to do crazy things...

Chris2112 Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Thats nuts. I don't even like The Who but that just looks so awesome. I usually hate the Explorer shaped basses, but this just looks so playable!

I switched to passive basses so this bass does not fit in my stuff anymore.
gobasserk Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 Hi folks, being totally happy with my BB3000 I kind of "forgot" about the explorer - it is still in it's bag and was not played again. It is still available so if you need an extra special x-mas present for you....go for it. Price update: It is not 800 GBP anymore but will go for 800 Euros. That's 705,- GBP at the moment.....!
Schnozzalee Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 That looks quality, does anyone know if we have to pay for customs when importing from the EU?? I thought it was the advantage of being in the union but i'm not so sure?

Is the bass zebrawood or walnut wings, maple top, flamed maple/wenge neck and rosewood board? Edited October 13, 2010 by Schnozzalee
Schnozzalee Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Theres a video on youtube of the chap building/playing this. You can see how awesome the glockenlang preamp is here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/GermannTV#p/u/3/yeF9MSjmGTo"]http://www.youtube.com/user/GermannTV#p/u/3/yeF9MSjmGTo[/url]
gobasserk Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Yeah, the vid is played by Germann Basses. But it has to be rocked... :-)))
SS73 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Always had a soft spot for ''Explorers'' and what an awesome piece this is, if only it was passive best of luck with the sale, in this revival of yuk ''Thunderbirds''.
gobasserk Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 It is passive if you pull the active/passive control!
gobasserk Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 No, I am happy with the rest of my basses and the explorer is always alone in the living room :-) So I don't want to change for another bass, I need a lighter stack..my back...my cabinets are killing me..! :-)
