SOLD! thanks!

Hi!
I'm selling a one-of-a-kind Music Man StingRay from 1988 in excellent condition.
Amazing birdseye maple neck, ash body, 2 band EQ preamp, bridge with mutes (in excellent shape), and the best thing: it weights only 3.7kg!!! These basses normally weight 0,8 - 1kg more than that.

Recently refretted in order to get low and nice action, the bass is now ready to rock.
It has tiny dings here and there, but the overall shape is excellent.

I think it's impossible to find another one like this. It's a piece of art and it sounds amazing.
This is definitely the best Stingray I ever played (including Pre EBs).

Comes with non original hard case.
Check out the video, that's the bass I'm selling (recorded by the previous owner and before refretting).

Price: SOLD!!! 
 

Up for sale my AVALON U5 Anniversary Edition (Black) with Avalon rack ears.

Perfect condition (10/10). Only used a few times.
Comes with original box, manuals, etc.

Price: 550EUR + shipping.
Thanks for watching.

One of the greatest EQ pedals for the gigging bassist. Secret weapon for Nathan East.

Nathan talks about it in this video (min 33:30): https://youtu.be/d9v0QRkFMGw

In the video Nathan shares his favorite setting and says he has been using this Magic Box on EVERY recording session he's done since he got it.

The difference between good bass and phenomenal bass! 

Developed by Yamaha over a decade ago for Nathan East, this "magic box" has helped him to achieve his signature sound with such artists as Eric Clapton, Elton John, Michael Jackson, and FourPlay. Fully parametric equalizer designed to shape the midrange of a bass's total spectrum. 3 Q-shape patterns allow you to apply creative and corrective equalization. 1/4" I/O jacks and a bright LED. Limited lifetime warranty.

Up for sale one of the best tube bass preamps ever made, the Demeter VTBP-201S.

This is what Demeter says:

After over 20 years of production the Demeter Amplification Tube Bass Preamplifier is still the only musical instrument preamplifier to incorporate truly modern tube design technology with circuit features found on only the most expensive and esoteric hi-fi tube equipment. The VTBP-201S has the warmth and dynamic range that only tubes can produce, yet has lower noise specifications than most solid state devices. When the preamplifier is driving a quality power amplifier, it delivers the punch and clarity of the best tube amplifiers plus the almost unlimited power of today's modern power amplifiers.

The VTBP-201S Tube Bass Preamplifier uses a regulated B+ power supply which provides quick transient response with extremely low noise. Regulated DC is supplied to the tube filament which gives the unit extremely low noise. We use only the finest 1/2 watt, 1% metal film resistors, polypropylene capacitors, high quality, computer grade switches, and a 7025A vacuum tube, factory selected for lowest possible noise and distortion. The VTBP-201S also has a low output impedance which lowers distortion and insures proper power amplifier input matching. Custom toriodal power transformer. New single space rack mount steel chassis.

Each preamplifier is carefully hand-wired using only the highest quality parts and tested at our factory in Templeton, California. You can see as well as hear the quality and attention to detail on both the inside and out.

Parece qué el fretboard no tiene side dots arriba? (I tried Googling but couldn't find any images taken from above).
Y sabes el peso?
I'm not a sunburst fan, otherwise it seems a lovely instrument.

Yes it has side dots, like any other Yamaha bass.
I don't know the exact weight, but it's not a heavy bass. I assume it weights around 4.2 - 4.3 kg
Thanks!

Dropped to 1100EUR

Thank you!

Some pics of my bumblebee bass! Now with back hardware.
I love this bass ❤️

I dig 'em! I have a 5 string Stingray Special and it's waaaay lighter than the normal Stingray 5 (I also own one) and it sounds fantastic. I'm using it on tour.
I honestly was a bit sceptical like some of you are, specially with the new pickup and preamp, and I can tell there's a tone difference, but the essence of a Stingray is still there. 
I recorded a little review a few days ago, check it out!

ON HOLD

Hi guys, 

This might seem crazy, but after waiting for 19 months I received my new Wal Mk3 and I'll have to sell it cause I need the money for a big investment.
The bass is BRAND NEW!
It features bird's eye maple facings, mahogany core, rosewood fingerboard, maple-mahogany 5 piece neck, black Schaller tuners, D-tuner, and a special input to allow angled jacks.
It's super light and it's perfectly balanced. And the sound... well, you guys know, it's a Wal 🙂 
The Mk3 compared to the Mk2 and Mk1 models is more ergonomic, lighter and better balanced.

It's a great opportunity to get a new Wal without waiting for almost two years and with a generous price cut.

The bass is in Barcelona but I can ship it anywhere in Europe, PM me with your location for a delivery quote.
It comes with a Wal hardcase and tools.

Price: 5200 EUR. NO TRADES thanks!

SOLD. Damn, that was fast!

Hi guys, 

I'm considering selling my Pino Palladino. 
This is the 3rd time I own this bass and I've always regretted selling it cause it's one of the best basses a pro bassist can have.
I specially love it for studio and session work, but since I'm not using it that much I think I could use the money for something else. I might buy another one again in the future.

I bought it here in Basschat just a couple months ago from Lawrie, hope he doesn't mind me sharing his pictures. The bass is in excellent condition except for a small dent under the strings near the bridge. The paintwork hasn't been affected by it.

Details and specs can be found in the link below:

All the original accessories and certificate of authenticity are included.
The bass is in Barcelona, Spain, but I could ship it anywhere in Europe. Contact me for a delivery quote.
