    TRADED: WOOD & TRONICS ZOID 5 'Hollywood'

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    Cash price: 1750£ incl. shipping in the EU - reduced to 1650£ (and won't go any lower)

    Hi

    Lovely example of W&T artistry... A Zoid 5er that I got in a trade a few months back. Fully loaded and with a beautiful front and back, and several luxury details. It is a fantastic bass for any style, but imo it especially shines on fingerstyle jazzy stuff. Which I don't do that often, hence the sale. The bass exudes quality and it is mint - no dings, no scratches, nothing. It is a bit atypical in that it combines 26 frets with a 33" scale. I find it very comfortable and the tone is to die for - those Bassculture PUs are really something! The passive option is great, the eq very flexible and there's switches and wheels in the control cavity to select frequencies. Access to the upper frets is excellent.

    Specs:
    Zoid 5-string neckthrough. Can be strung both B-G or E-C (I have tried both, no problem with either)
    Scale 33"
    Neck: 3-piece ash-ash-ash
    Heel-block: alder
    Fingerboard: ebony
    Pos dots: abalone
    26 frets, medium size
    Body wings: american black walnut
    Top: holly wood, matching headstock
    PUs: bassculture/W&T custom alnico 5 dual coils with ebony top wood cases
    Ramp: Ebony (detachable)
    PUs position: 60s
    Tuners: Schaller BM light
    Bridge: W&T 2-piece
    Finish: ultra fine satin
    Preamp: East/W&T SP-02 3-band,vol/bal stack, passive tone with p/p active/passive
    Knobs: blackwood
    String spacing at bridge: 17.5 mm / at nut: 8.3 mm
    Case: Rockcase Bass Soft Light (semi-rigid)

    The docs that come with the bass show that in 2012 this bass costed 2800+ £, now probably more. I am in no hurry and would happily keep it if it doesn't sell. Will consider trades for MTD, Zon, etc. but open to look at everything. I prefer 4 strings (will consider 5), and a killer slap tone is a must.

    Thanks for looking!

    SOLD PENDING - XOTIC Tri-logic bass preamp (original US version) MINT

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    Hi

    I should keep this, but I need to reduce my gear to the stuff I actually use...

    Anyhow, here's a lovely preamp pedal - the original US Xotic version, not the newer EWS, which has different specs. It is completely transparent - your bass will still be your bass, but with added powerful tone shaping options and lots of gain if you so wish. Works wonders on passive basses, and allegedly on acoustic basses too (but I never tried).

    It is absolutely mint - exactly as new. Specs here:

    Shipping anywhere in the EU included.
    Power supply NOT included, but easy to get from the likes of Thomann. Runs on two 9v batteries too.

    Selling bass's :(

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    Just for fun a few weeks ago I picked an arbitrary moment in time and counted the ads by brand in the first few pages of the For Sale section (you could tell I was bored) - these were the approx results:

    Fender /Squier 50
    MM 22
    Warwick 12
    Ibanez 9
    Lakland 7
    Gibson/Epiphone 5
    Westone 5
    Spector 4
    Aria 4
    Esp 3
    Fodera 3
    Tanglewood 3
    Yamaha 3
    W&T 3
    Sandberg 2
    Ken smith 2
    Farida 2
    Overwater 2
    G&L 2
    Washburn 2
    Tokai 2
    Clover 2
    Alleva coppolo 2
    (Didn't count single ocurrences of any brand)

    Whether this kind of thing (with repeated measurements over time) may reflect only actual market shares or not, I don't know... But yes, Fender is overwhelmming...
