    THE Aria Pro II 1000 (Matsumoko) £SOLD (incl. DHL)

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    Wow!!.. look at this:-

    [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120227700942&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=002[/url]

    .. that's $1075 (£540) with almost 3-days to run, 11-bidders !! Same series as mine and very close chronologically according to the serial. Might even out-bid the previous SB1000 from Germany (€884 / £675):-

    [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140200069628&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=004[/url]

    so, am putting mine back to the original asking price accordingly. I'll place on ebay this week.

    £499 (incl. DHL next-day)

    Zon Sonus Lightwave 5 string Fretless .. SOLD !!!!!

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by eubassix

    Zon Sonus Lightwave five string fretless bass. I had thought about listing this previously and then decided against it .. but as another Zon 5LW (std.) was so recently ‘snapped-up’ ... ( [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=14456"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=14456[/url] ) ... I thought I should give it a try/see. This is an incredible bass and beautiful instrument which was handcrafted in the USA...and is apparently quite rare. Carries a retail price of $4k (!). It has an ash body with a gorgeous, high grade figured maple top. The bolt on composite neck is not affected by climate changes and will not warp. The 2 octave unlined finger board is phenowood. At an ultralight 7.7 pounds, it is perfectly balanced. The neck and playability are really excellent and the Lightwave system produces an amazing sound – particularly for Fretless - along with blending in the piezo.





    Specs/details: Ash body, Quilted maple top. Quilted maple headstock top. Composite neck Phenowood fretboard unlined. Ultra light ZON case included. Other features include a graphite nut, Gotoh tuners and the Lightwave optical pickup system. Scale and string spacing: 34.5” scale. 17 mm (bridge), 15mm (F24), 9mm (nut) The 4 knobs are : 1 volume 2 Lightwave/piezo blend 3 Bass boost [down is deep bass, pull-up is not-so-deep bass; referred to by Zon as the ‘warm/cool’ switch] 4 mid sweep/boost





    Set up is actually quite easy. The manual can be downloaded from the Lightwave site.
    The Lightwave system uses infrared light to sense string vibration and does not interfere with the string movement at all, unlike conventional magnetic pickups. The sound is completely transparent and what you hear is the natural sound of the strings, instrument and playing technique. The sound can range from mellow, upright bass (.. this definitely the closest I’ve experienced to an UB with a solid-bodied electric bass!…) to full on aggressive with the additional EQ. There is also the inclusion of a special piezo element that can add a crisp high end and percussive element to the optical sound.





    The Lightwave system < [url="http://www.lightwave-systems.com/lightwavepickup/LightWavePickup.htm"]http://www.lightwave-systems.com/lightwave...tWavePickup.htm[/url] > runs for approximately 15 hours when fully charged. It comes with a charger wall wart that plugs into the bass. There is an LED light in the bridge that indicates battery strength. In addition, if the battery wears down while being used, you can continue playing by simply plugging the charger in. Of course you are limited by the length of the charger cable, which is actually fairly long. Definitely a different system than using 9 V batteries but it is actually quite seamless. The charger is of the USA type, so there’s a convertor (inline) included. Not too much hassle as you only need to charge occasional at home. I did try an ebay 18v (UK) unit but the mA output didn’t match. Apparently, Maplins do an 18v 100mA unit (£14) which will work, but I haven’t bothered.
    The bass is in overall excellent/near mint condition

    £.. SOLD .. (inclusive of 24h. DHL)

    The relisted ProII SB-R60 didn't make quite so much this time:-

    [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250211772183&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=015[/url]

    £321 (£350 with the postage)

    .. whatever happened to 'the good old days' on ebay where I could now contact the other four, unsuccesful bidders to see if they fancied a ProII SB1000 ?!!.....

    Roscoe SKB 4 Custom Bass. £SOLD ( & delivered) !!

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by eubassix

    Planning to ebay this .. but thought I'd give it (another) try here first, just in case. It's a Roscoe SKB-3000 4 string fretted bass. Beautiful and rare instrument and almost‘mint’ (just one small ding). This is a newer (the Teal color has only been available in more recent years) and rather rare model as Roscoe does not normally build 4 strings in the SKB, which features a slightly larger (and, in my opinion, both more comfortable and aesthetic) body than the normal LG model. A very nice bass combining build and specs from both the LG and SKB editions. Also features a very attractive spalted f/board.
    34” scale. 10 – 16 – 19 mm (nut, 24th fret, bridge) spacing(s), 1½ “ nut. Only 8.4 lbs!
