I've got this HB that I'm really not playing at the moment, and some car repairs are coming up and I think I could do with moving this bass on. I'm going to link to the original topic for pictures: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=63999"]CLICKY[/url]


[quote]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.[/quote]


This is actually a great bass. I really enjoying playing it and if I could keep it I would, but as I mentioned I need to sort out my car. It's in need of a new set of strings, and perhaps a bit of a clean, but other than this and the couple of other bits mentioned in the original topic, it's a cracking bass. Doesn't feel too big, cracking B string (only a 34" scale), it's got a real nice 'something' in the tone that I love and think it would sound even better with a new set of strings.



Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I have a 5 string version of this which I defretted but it sounds AWESOME for such a cheap instrument. I used one in my first ever band and you can hear soundclips [url="http://www.myspace.com/gummybabies"]here[/url] played through a Trace Elliot combo. I never did get a better recorded tone and it was fine for gigs; nice and powerful! In fact I don't know why I ever stopped using it long enough to consider defretting it.. D'oh!

So yeah, £75 is a bargain price for this!
