They are wonderful basses. This is a very reluctant one in one out. If this doesn't go I may need to put my current favourite up...

now I am intrigued... what is your favourite bass? 

I have the fretless version of this bass. It sounds lovely

The current spacing is 17mm and is at the limit of the roller adjustment on the bridge. It is very easy to play

When I got the bass over 25 years ago the previous owner had stripped the body and painted it purple. With purple paint and varnish! 
I stripped it and finished with a dark oak furniture varnish. On reflection that wasn’t the best idea but it was cheap and it looks ok. I wanted it to look like a Wal bass. 

I think a pro finish would make all the difference to this bass as I think it is a real classic and probably sought after. Sunburst could be the way to go but I am not sure. Still debating it

Just that he had never noticed any reduction in volume on the E. Get the string adjusted over the pickup and adjust the pu height until everything sounds good. 

To be honest, I have only been using the bass for unamplified noodling for years, only taking to gigs when I could squeeze it in somewhere. I mostly play double bass.

The strings I had on there sounded great apart from the low E, which I didn't really realise for some reason. Also, I was trying to set this bass up with 19mm spacing, which was too wide

Now I am debating getting the body refinished by Doug, which would improve the looks a lot. 

Thanks @TheG it is all the things you say it is. I am just not using it at the moment. Although I will giving recording with it a go

plus shipping to UK

Trades - swap for Sire 4 or 5 or 4 string Ibanez srh500

Very good condition, just a couple of dings as you can see in the pictures. All works as it should. The mid sweep crackles a bit and the bass could do with some new strings, other than that this a lot of bass for the money.

Bump for a nice pickup, bought new from Thomann a while back

Price drop £180

I have been in touch with Doug Wilkes. He confirmed that the bass is all original and suggested a few thing to help with the setup. Here it is with original Schaller pickup and TI  flats fitted. Sounds and plays beautifully now

@rmorris - what strings? a basic question that I thought would not be an issue.

I just did a quick search on another popular bass forum and have found that the Pyramid Gold flats are known to have a dead sounding E string. This may explain a few things, and certainly won't be helping. I'll pop on an old set of TI Flats to see what happens

Moon bass alpha - it is a passive bass with a coil tap switch and an additional piezoelectric pickup. Nice range of tones 

rmorris. Thanks for the feedback. I have tried a few string types over the years. These are Pyramid flats. They are old, so a new set may improve things.  The volume difference is only minor and I am getting good results by moving the string over the pole piece more. The metal bits are pretty cool looking I think. I have never, and would never slap this bass, but I assume that is their purpose. There is also a piezo pu underneath the heal of the neck to help with the percussive sound. A lovely bass all round. I don't think it is meant to be thwacked, so playing it softly seems to work really well. Lots of mwahhh!

I have just refitted the original Schaller pickup and the overall output level is huge in comparison to the Shadow. This is one powerful pickup

Bassbod, thanks for the pu tip. I may try one of those MM pickups at some point if one comes up. 

The roller bridge adjustment is useful, although I am now getting less than 19mm spacing. It works out but I may try a wider pickup in future, if I don't have to hack around too much to fit it. Moving the string over does make a difference, as does plucking downwards with my thumb. 

Price drop before I list it on Ebay £90

Reasonable offers will be considered

Agreed. These basses are amazing, bulletproof and will only go up in value

I had a fretless thunder 1A back in 92 purchased from Johnny Roadhouse in Manchester

Nice dark woody tone. I just prefer my revolution solo for now. As new. I had it fitted by my luthier and kept it on my bass for around six months. Blended well with other pickups too. Grab yourself a bargain.

Here is my Shertler Dyn-B microphone. It can reproduce a lovely sound but does need a lot of experimentation with position. 

Boxed with manuals but no preamp. I used a Behringer mic pre and blended using a two channel amp. £55 on gear for music. I could be persuaded to sell the preamp as well if it helps the sale
 

Selling due to my being lazy. To be honest I just couldn’t be bothered with the extra setup at gigs. The new blue version is a lot of money although I am not sure how much better it is. I used this older version for around six months off and on. It has been in safe dry storage in my studio for ages now. Super easy to install and doesn’t leave any marks in your bass 
 

yours for £200 boxed and shipped

reduced to £180👍

Maybe these would be better off on Ebay? .....type bump

Black silk flats now sold

Somebody take these heavy looking round wounds off my hands. Who would use such heavy strings anyway? (asking for a friend...)
