Bought this via eBay about 2 weeks ago I think the seller was a little liberal with the condition description, but I picked it up in a rush and didn’t look over it properly. It’s a project. It wasn’t listed as such. I haven’t the time to complete the project side of things. I think it’s had some repairs to the neck - it plays well, but cosmetically…it’s not the best. I’d want to sand the finish off and tidy up or maybe investigate a little further. There’s a separation between the back and side - I genuinely think it’s a glue/clamp job. In the original listing it stated some marks commensurate with age (it’s about 40-45 years old). I really do think it’s worth saving - It sounds really well; it’s loud and the neck is comfortable. I have a bass from the same factory/period which was listed as encore - made in Italy by Eko. So - it’s a handy campfire buddy, I think if I had more time I’d completely strip the finish and sort the issues. But all transparency, this is only if you know how to fix guitars or are willing to pay a luthier to sort. Or you’re comfortable with how it is. It is a great old bass with lots of character though. I will ship - entirely on the understanding that it’s a risky business as there’s no case included

I have a couple other f boxes and can ship…either bass. might be risky 🤷🏻‍♂️

Made in Finland version. Excellent and versatile bass drive/preamp with three band EQ and toggles to adjust clipping. Can do a light drive or get almost fuzzy. Get in touch for more information/photos etc. I can post at cost/meet/deliver.

Pure class!

You will struggle to find a better value cab! 4x300W (1200W) 8 Ohms Roughly 25kg Size - 600x410x630mm Loaded with 4x eminence drivers (see pics for details). Marine ply construction. Open to sensible offers. Trade wise, I am interested in a clean boost pedal such as a rodenberg 707b or darkglass harmonic booster, or a line 6 helix stomp / stomp xl (assuming I have cash to add at the time...), but hey, try me. Located in Bedford, MK42 9UR. May be able to meet up somewhere or deliver for fuel money..but let's have that discussion first. Thanks!

The fretless acoustic situation has become stupid. The non mariachi looking one needs some attention, I bought while leathered because I’m a tit. It needs a bit of attention, looks like it’s had some bits done and not finished. Sounds amazing, but needs a bit of TLC. I’m at a point where I’d love to tackle it. But I haven’t got time or money to throw at another project. It’s wooden backed (mariachi is plastic/bowl) It owes me £150, because I’m a tit. Happy to entertain offers/swaps for a pedal or something. I also still have the Ashdown Pre. So maybe something can be figured out. I think £100 is realistic for what the bass is. It’s old and bonkers, sounds very well - slightly bigger body than the other one. Sounds deeper/louder as a result… Whichever one sells first will close this thread… edit - I’ve made its own thread…for the big dreadnought bass…

Selling due to vets bills and being mainly IEM at the mo. I bought in 2020 from Bass Direct pre-owned. Great condition, largely stayed at home under the cover. Probably pick up only, I travel up and down the A1 from St Neots to London a lot so possible drop off. I’m willing to post if I can find a reasonable box at cost. Hot cover and markbass wedge included. I have some packing materials would just need to source a suitable box, so happy to discuss shipping.

At least you don’t need to worry about how the couriers treat it.
