    SOLD: Jerzy Drozd Basic 4 - only 1100£!

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    Hi

    I really love this bass, but need to reduce my collection again.

    This is JD's basic model from a few years back, which means that it doesn't have any fancy wood top, and it's a bolt-on construction. It's a 35", with Jerzy's own pickups on an absolutely silent Aguilar OBP-3 preamp. Controls are volume, balance, hi, mid, lo - and active/passive switch. The volume is the same in active and passive with the eq flat. I love the slim body, light weight and the worn-in feel of the neck. It has JD's own bridge design and Gotoh tuners, Schaller straplocks.

    The previous sales thread is here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/226558-jerzy-drozd-basic-4-string-traded/

    The bass has been used, so there are several minor marks here and there in the body, but nothing too apparent. Frets are great, fingerboard perfect.

    The tone is modern, reminds me a bit of my Dingwall super J with pickups in parallel - very growly.

    It comes with an excellent JD-branded hard/soft case. Shipping to EU included with UPS.

    Wouldn't mind at all to keep it, to be honest.

    Thanks!

    SOLD: Mayones Prestige fretless 6 - video - only 1100£!

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    Hi

    My other attempt at 6-string... Beautiful bass, with lots of mwah!

    It is an active/passive 34" neckthrough with Delano dualcoils (switchable to single), Aguilar 3-band preamp (mid freq can be changed by pulling the mid pot), ebony fingerboard, bronze/ebony nut. Schaller hardware.

    This is a well balanced but not the lightest bass - bathroom scales show 4.8 kg. It has on the other hand tone in spades! Incredibly flexible and musical on all settings, with a flat neck that makes things easy even for me. The low B is excellent. I love the single coil/humbucker switches (one per pickup). I've had a few fretlesses including LeFay, Zon, Status, Lakland... and this one for me is the best sounding.

    The bass is a lined fretless, but the lines are thin so from a distance it really seems unlined. The fingerboard has some of the proverbial marks, but absolutely smooth to the touch. Otherwise, the bass is virtually in mint condition.

    [s]1450for a straight sale[/s], including fitted Mayones hard case (also in excellent condition) and shipping to EU.

    NOW ONLY 1100, all included! Grab it before I change my mind and put it back at the price it deserves!

    Cheers







    SOLD: Sei Flamboyant 6 - temporary sale price 2000£!

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    Hi

    Got this in a recent trade to see if I could handle 6 strings... - better than I thought! But clearly it is something that I will struggle with for a while, so I thought I'd put it up as a feeler and see if I could continue trying new things...

    So to start with, this is an amazing boutique bass by itself, well balanced and not heavy, with a beautiful finish and top specs - Nordstrand PUs, Aguilar 3-band pre, series/parallel switches for each PU, Hipshot hardware... The tone is modern (think MTD) with great balance and definition across the range, including a great low B. It is an 18v circuit, so plenty of headroom and clarity. The neck is very flat and comfortable, and this is an extended range bass (29 frets!). Dunlop straplocks are mounted flush with the body, one on the horn and two at the bottom so you can choose the one that works best for you. To top it all, it has blue side LEDs, which are turned on by pulling the mid control, and are powered by two AA batteries in the rear cavity.

    If all that wasn't enough, it has a factory-fitted Roland GK3 pickup - a separate DIN output connects with the included GR-20 pedal (UK power supply but I include an EU adaptor), a switch allows to select programs on the pedal and a knob allows you to mix in the MIDI sounds - and there's plenty: strings, leads, pads, brass, pianos, percussion...

    Everything in excellent condition!

    All of this for 2400£ in case of a straight sale, including a Sandberg rigid gig bag and shipping to EU. I am open to trades (note trade value is 2800£), but as I said I am not in a hurry to move it on!

    Cheers

    WITHDRAWN: Esh Sovereign 4

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    Hi

    For sale my Esh Sovereign IV in trans red, a very nice bass that I've thoroughly enjoyed - but need to sell due to new purchases.

    It is a bolt-on 4 string with EMG pickups, rosewood fingerboard and Schaller hardware. It is very German, both in solid quality and sound - very snappy and growly, in the same ballpark as Marleaux and Warwick in my book. It has the added advantage of a piezo at the bridge. Controls are volume, tone, pickup selector and an idiosyncratic Esh control that has 4 positions: direct (from PUs to output, no controls have any effect except PU switch), standard, standard+piezo, and piezo only. The neck is great, very comfortable.

    It is in almost mint condition, except for the ding at the forearm contour shown on one of the pics. Comes with original Esh gig bag, also in excellent condition.

    Any questions, just shoot. Shipping to EU included in the price.

    Cheers!
