PX offers coming in already

I've only recently picked this up and it's a really nice bass in a pretty unique wood colour. I was told the wood is Nogal which I think is a type of Walnut. It has a high gloss finish which is difficult to photgraph. The ones attached are reasonable view of the core wood colours but they don't really do it justice. I've had some time to play it this week having been stuck at home with all the snow It really has that great Status snap and sizzle and powerful tone shaping. Also has a passive / active switch which bypasses the tone circuit. I took it as a PX on another bass but I'm really trying to stick with 5's these days so would like to either sell it outright or maybe trade for an interesting 5 string. Previous owner told me it was '93/'94 but I can't confirm this. I can say that it's in absolutely fabulous condition with not a mark on that I can see. Looks like it's never been gigged and only lightly used. Plays really nicely and action seems to go as low as I'd ever want it! Happy to ship anywhere I don't really have much idea what this would be worth but thought that it ought to fetch somewhere around the £900 mark given the amazing condition.

There's a cheap listing option called something like 'picture pack' which gives you about 5 pics plus enlarged views etc. Looks really nice by the way

This a great price for such a beautiful bass. USA prices for these with a figured top are around the $4,000 mark. It's hard to describe but photos don't really do this bass justice, the translucent colour combined with the figured maple looks fabulous in the flesh and great under stage lights. The fingerboard wood is lovely as well. This really is a bass you can hang on your wall as a piece of "functional art" When I owned it I only gigged with it once and had people come over to ask what it was & to say how nice it looked - these were not particularly musos, just ordinary people in the audience. I can honestly say this has never happened to me before or since!

[quote name='deaver' post='401583' date='Feb 5 2009, 10:25 PM']To be fair £1500 would constitute an offer over £1250. I'll go away now.[/quote] True, I stand corrected

[quote name='4 candles' post='374287' date='Jan 8 2009, 06:16 PM']Im looking for offers over £1250 regards Mark[/quote] [quote name='4 candles' post='401393' date='Feb 5 2009, 07:24 PM']Yes indeedie, For £1500 pounds or I may consider trades/cash for something fretless with 4 strings Thanks for the interest[/quote] Not trying to be difficult but, unless I'm reading the posts incorrectly then this bass looks like it's gone up in price by £250 in the past month?

Picked this up fairly recently and really love it. Excellent core sound and simple to use without lots of flashing lights & sliders to fiddle with. Surprising combination of sounds available and all of them are good! The blue front also looks really cool I'm only selling this as I've decided not to run a rack set-up and spotted a smaller Epifani head for sale. Unlike some rack units this does have small rubber feet so it can be used free-standing if required. It's in perfect condition, doesn't even have any marks on the top from having been racked previously etc. Only change from a completely stock model is that the control knobs have been finished in black with small white dots to indicate position. Standard PS600 has completely chromed knobs and position markers which means the damn things are invisible on stage! This work has been very well finished and looks totally professional. For those of you who don't know much about these it was awarded a Bass Player magazine Editor's Award with the summary: [i]the 600 was tinged with a golden midrange, plush-but-controlled lows, and a serene, lacy top. I never wanted for more power, and the transient response and grunt were excellent. The 600 was exceptionally pleasant sounding—it almost seemed as if the preamp filtered out harsh frequencies, leaving only buttery, smooth tone. The EQ, though limited, worked fine, but I barely touched it. If you’re a slapper who digs the scoopy thing, the mid-cut feature, with its variable level control, is for you. I tended to favor a flat tone. The 600 was clear and delicate sounding, but not wimpy. It may not be the ideal amp for gritty rock tone, but for everything else, its elegant and refined sound is among the best in bass.[/i] More details on the Epifani site : [url="http://www.epifani.com/products/ps_600.php"]http://www.epifani.com/products/ps_600.php[/url] I've added a pic of a stock head as mine looks identical apart from the chrome knobs I'm looking for £550 which I think is a good price considering it's in perfect condition and that they list at £1,030 new at The Gallery. Based in Henley, Oxfordshire but happy to ship (at extra cost) if required.

Looks like it's heading to snowy Oxfordshire fairly soon

So who beat me to the punch on this one eh? As there are some obvious Sei Flamboyant fans here I thought you might like to know there's a nice looking 6'er on EBay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sei-Flamboyant-6-String-Bass-Custom_W0QQitemZ120373980590QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item120373980590&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1229|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sei-Flamboyant-6-Str...%3A1|240%3A1318[/url] Also a really gorgeous choice of woods. . .

[quote name='4000' post='399253' date='Feb 3 2009, 06:47 PM']I played that on a couple of occasions in the Gallery....[/quote] I sold it through them about 5 years ago. Went to Scandinavia I think.

Quick plug to say that Seb is a top man - great to deal with & super efficient in organising trades etc.
