Bassix Transition Semi Acoustic Electric Upright Bass from English luthier (see www.Bassix.net for his current range)
Original rrp = £1495
34" Scale with Double bass style radiused fingerboard. easy for electric bass players to pick up and play and possible to Bow.
Made from "composite materials including carbon fibre" with a tubular steel backbone
Schaller magnetic double bass pickup with volume control. The electrics work fine (single coil magnetic pickup) and, being 'simple', allow the true tone of the bass to come through.
Strung with a new set of Fender Black Nylon Flatwound strings - produce a more authentic DB sound + easier on the fingers (!).
Well used, as can be seen on the photos - the paint on the back was very scratched from not being kept in a case - this has been re-coloured. The only damage (other than scratches) is a small dent on the front left lower bout - a chunk of the outer skin that had broken off. The inner skin appears undamaged and it doesn't affect the tone. The chip is (was) approx. 10mm in diameter and has been repaired with a high-quality enamel paint/filler (black)
Cash on pickup preferred BUT can be posted: for this I would suggest removal of the bridge and shipping cost would need to be checked (est. £30)
SOLD - pending payment/collection
