Just a quick update, as I noticed I'd made a typo on the price. Price is [b]£1350 ono[/b], not the £1450 at the very top of the post. Apologies, I just missed my error and can't seem to update it in that particular field. Cheers!!

Sunday bump!

Thanks chaps

For sale or relatively specific trade is my custom built Sutch Guitars fretless 5-string bass - £[s]1350[/s] [b]£1050[/b] ono or possible trades for a 70s vibe Fender J. Not necessarily vintage, but vintage vibe (I'm very aware that I can't afford a stack knob J...). With regards to trades, I would prefer straight trade at value or plus cash my way. Not looking to spend more than the value of this instrument. Heavily inspired by the Gary Willis Ibanez GWB basses, this is a much more flexible and, in my opinion, versatile variation on one of my favorite bassist's custom models. I don't like selling instruments, but after 2 years of great service, my needs have changed somewhat and I'm using this bass less than it deserves to be used. It has been gigged a lot and has been all over Europe, always in proper flight cases etc.. As such, there is the usual wear and tear, but this is limited to very slight scratches to the rear of the bass and minor dings to the top of the headstock. It has been very well cared for. Photos are below, plus 2 professional photos from the luthier after the build was completed. A great opportunity to own a one of a kind instrument! I'm based in Birmingham and any interested people are very welcome to come and give the bass a whirl. Collection is preferred, but shipping can be arranged at the buyers expense and risk. Payment via Paypal or bank transfer. Can supply either a Gator hard case that came with the bass, or a pretty beaten up Ritter gig bag! Cheers! Spec: - Beautiful one piece swamp ash body - 5 piece Wenge/Bubinga neck with Ebony fingerboard (24 position fretless with Wenge lines) - 12" fingerboard radius, 34" scale neck with narrow(ish) 7mm string spacing at nut (neck carved with me present to get it absolutely spot on - great service!) - Lightweight Hipshot tuners and aluminium A-style bridge - Custom John East preamp with 3 band EQ, parallel/single coil mini toggle (with option of changing to 3-way for parallel/series/single coil) and active/passive push/pull volume pot - Delano SBC HE/S pickup - Wenge backplate and magnetic battery cover - Swamp Ash adjustable finger ramp - Natural oil/wax finish - Strung with Thomastik Infeld flats [attachment=245136:IMG_0939.jpg] [attachment=245137:IMG_0940.jpg] [attachment=245138:IMG_0942.jpg] [attachment=245139:IMG_0943.jpg] [attachment=245140:IMG_0944.jpg] [attachment=245141:IMG_0945.jpg] [attachment=245142:IMG_0946.jpg] [attachment=245143:IMG_0947.jpg] [attachment=245144:IMG_0948.jpg] [attachment=245145:IMG_0949.jpg] [attachment=245146:IMG_0951.jpg] [attachment=245147:IMG_0952.jpg] [attachment=245148:IMG_0953.jpg] [attachment=245149:IMG_0954.jpg] [attachment=245150:IMG_0955.jpg] [attachment=245151:IMG_0956.jpg] [attachment=245152:post-25783-0-72041400-1439597633.jpeg] [attachment=245153:post-25783-0-85249400-1439597629.jpeg]

[size=4]Bump with added sound clips here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJlVT47e8Dc[/size] [size=4][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Recorded direct with no EQ etc.. Just a tad of reverb because headphones plus no reverb sucks! Clips go single coil with front bridge pu, single coil with back bridge pu, then humbucker/single coil neck mode (always bridge pu, both then neck pu). Have tried to keep playing as consistent as possible through the different settings, but it was midnight and I was tired...[/font][/color][/size]

No worries! If this is still available when my bass sells, I'll very likely be in touch. Best of luck with the sale!

Oh man... Really lovely bass. Any interest in a trade/cash your way for my Clover: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/286658-clover-avenger-5-string-fretless-for-sale-or-trade-price-drop-l875/page__fromsearch__1 If you're not interested, I'll be back when my Clover does sell! GLWTS!

Bump. Price drop to £875.

Could you possibly post a couple of more detailed pics of the fretboard? Would be very helpful. Cheers!

Very interested in this! I've got a bass and a cello for sale at the moment, with the latter most likely being bought on Monday. If that all goes to plan, I'll most certainly PM you!

Bump. Price adjusted.

[s]£1000[/s] [s][b] £875[/b][/s][b] £800[/b] Clover Avenger 5-string fretless bass for sale. I've owned this bass for nearly 10 years and it's a lovely instrument. It's not getting the use it deserves anymore, so it's time for it find a new home. I bought this bass from Sounds Great in Manchester about 10 years ago (honestly can't quite remember exactly...) as a fretted instrument and had it converted to fretless by Jaydee guitars in Birmingham about 5 years ago. This is the slightly older model Avenger with a solid walnut body, as opposed to the walnut tops used on the new ones. Not sure when production changed, but I know that this is certainly a one piece walnut body. Specifics: - 34"-ish scale (slightly longer than 34" due to the fretless conversion) - 24 position ebony fingerboard - 20" radius - maple neck with satin finish - one piece walnut body - gloss finish - Delano pickups (3x JSBC-HE) - 9v Delano preamp: 3 band EQ, blend control, master vol. with pull switch for passive mode, 3-way mini toggle for parallel/single coil/series wiring & pickup selection, 2-way toggle boost (I believe this is a mid boost, but I've honestly never used it!) - Clover bridge - Gotoh tuners (originals were rubbish and broke!) - strung with Thomastik flats I have never actually seen another fretless Clover Avenger anywhere. Only other one I could find is a random photo on Google. This is an unusual instrument that plays and sounds beautiful. A real workhorse with a wide range of modern and classic sounds. I've used this bass on countless gigs and sessions and it has never, ever let me down. It has had a couple of dings on the top of the headstock (see photos) and there are some scratches on the pick guard (mainly from my DIY, MDF finger ramps, which you're welcome to have by the way...) but this instrument has been well maintained over the years. Very clean, very solid and an all around top instrument. Comes with a generic 'Gear for Music' hard case I have lying around. Happy to throw in an old Ritter gig bag if you'd prefer. Looking for £800. Will consider trades/part ex but only good quality things please. Possibly tempted by a nice P bass, but cash is king. Based in Birmingham, you're welcome to come and give it a blast! Can post at buyers expensive if requested. Cheers!
