    Sold my Tune Technology 'Bass Maniac' bass to David. Pleasure to deal with. Quick payer, great communication with each other throughout and offered very helpful advice on how to package a bass for couriering.

    No hesitation at all in recommending David and would happily buy/sell from him in the future.

    I picked up a bargain today via Gummy Tree which means (it breaks my heart but) I could take a cheeky offer of £320.

    Guessing if it doesn't go for this there are no bass maniac fans out there and I'll withdraw the ad in a couple of weeks.

    Anyone want a bank holiday bargain?!! :P

    Cheers Julius. I remember taking it in to our local music shop years ago where they had a guest Rotosound engineer / session player dude in for the day. He had a tinker on the basses people brought in (to have new rotosounds put on them). When he played my bass maniac he clearly hadn't seen one of these before and seemed to be quite taken with it. It always got compliments when I gigged with it - sound and looks :-)

    Here I have my quite rare Tune Technology 'Bass Maniac' 4 string active bass.

    PRICE REDUCTION TO £250.

    [attachment=189800:tune-2.jpg][attachment=189801:tune-1.jpg][attachment=189810:tune-4.jpg][attachment=189812:tune-5.jpg][attachment=189813:tune-3.jpg]

    (Ignore the weird pattern on the front of the body - caused by the ceiling lamp reflecting on it).

    I've owned this from new, purchased from the Bass Centre in London early 90's. Played it for 3-4 years in my old metal band with a full Marshall bass stack (good ol' days) and it then became my back up bass, barely playing it for the last 15 years.

    Japanese made and possibly the easiest bass I've ever played. Fast, narrow neck and nice action.

    Plenty of punch, warmth and depth. Particularly good for rock although play off the front PUPs only and you get quite a mellow bass.

    This youtube video link will give you a feel for the beautiful tone:

    [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3SgjBqfjmI"]https://www.youtube....h?v=a3SgjBqfjmI[/url] (stick with it – changes riff around 0.40 and again around 1.00 - shame about the fret buzz)

    Spec (got this from the internet – seems about right):
    Body: Alder
    Neck: Rosewood
    Neck width at nut: 39 mm / 1.535 in
    Weight: approx 3.3 kg / 7.28 lb
    Scale: 860 mm / 34 in
    Controls: 1 Master volume, 1 Pickup balancer, 1 Bass tone control, 1 treble tone control

    Condition is excellent considering it's age. Little bit of buckle rash on the back as shown in the pics. Due to the high gloss finish lot of very light hairline scratches on the back barely noticeable unless you catch the light. Struggled to capture them in any photos. Bass works perfectly and has no faults.

    More pics can be seen here: [url="http://bit.ly/1O3dVkh"]http://bit.ly/1O3dVkh[/url]

    You will get a lovely and quite unique bass for the money and I'll certainly be very sad to see her go.

    No trades - trying to reduce my collection.

    I would prefer cash on collection. Would be willing to meet you within a 30-mile radius of Swindon if you cover my fuel. I will consider shipping within the UK (only UK) but really would prefer you come and see it.

    Any questions give me a shout.

    Thanks, Glen
