Hello, everyone. I'm selling my six-string Hermann Kempf bass. It is a Chinese bass, ideal for someone wanting to see if a six-string bass is right for him/her (without "investing" too much in this experiment, that is), like I did. All things considered, the tone is pretty good and, if a six string is for you, you can definitely use it for a while before getting a better one. Alternatively, it can be a more-than-appropriate replacement for the "you never know" circumstances. I have no hard-case for it. Willing to have you try it (in Genoa) and to ship (buyer incurs costs and risks). As I have no hard-case, we'll have to agree upon a way to ship it. Thanks for your interest. Cheers. Pier

Hello, everyone. I'm selling my semi-acoustic, short-scale (30 inches) Ibanez AGBV 205A bass. This is the "Artcore Vintage" version: artificially aged (the relic job is factory-made) in a "tobacco low gloss" colour. Very nice bass and quite rare (uncommon, at least) in the 5 string version. The low "B" is not a champion of definition but is definitely more than acceptable (especially considering the short scale). Comes with flat-wound strings. I'm selling it because I changed genre and I'm no longer using it that much. Willing to have you try it (in Genoa) and to ship (buyer incurs costs and risks). Thanks for your interest. Cheers. Pier

Hello, everyone. I'm selling my acoustic-electric Takamine TB10 bass, with on-board "CoolTube CTP-2" tube preamp. Awesome bass: basically a miniaturised double bass (does not have the same acoustic tone, but has the same amplified tone), on a 34 inch scale. I'm selling it because I changed genre and I'm no longer using it that much. Includes hard-case (the handle is a bit damaged but can be repaired). Willing to have you try it (in Genoa) and to ship (buyer incurs costs and risks). Thanks for your interest. Cheers. Pier PS. Video Demo: https://youtu.be/4z8aJKB1_uk

Price Drop... Trades Welcome...

OMG!!!...

Hey, Bassassin. Yes, mine is a long-scale, 34" / 864 mm bass. Thanks for sharing your thoughts: very precious and informative! Best to you. Cheers. Pier

Hi, Bassassin. Sorry, I saw your post only now. The info I included in the "for sale" post is all info I received from the guy who traded the bass to me. Perhaps some of it is a bit inaccurate, as you pointed out. I did, in fact, look at the back of the headstock and it has neither a serial number nor a "CIJ/MIJ" marking (which I find odd, in retrospect). That said, the rest of the info seems correct and the bass is, in fact, in perfect working order as well as aesthetically in excellent/mint conditions. Since you seem to know quite a bit about these instruments (more than I, obviously), what do you think of the price I'm asking. Is it fair, do you think? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers. Pier

############### Price Drop: now 850 EUR or 750 GBP ############### Hi, all. I'm selling a 1985 Aria ASB-65, Crafted in Japan, in Excellent/Mint Conditions. It's a "prototype" built in approximately 500 units between 1985 and 1986 in Matsumoku. Although it's more than 30 years old, it does not show!!! The previous (and practically sole) owner has kept it maniacally (much more than I or anyone would have done): every month sending it to the luthier, waxing it and playing it a bit just not to let it rest too much untouched!!! The reason why I'm selling is that I received it as a trade but it's not what I was after. As to the price, since there's absolutely no active market for these, I quote what I perceive its value to be (1.000 Euros). If you have a different perception and want to make an offer, let's talk. Willing to have you try it (in Genoa) and to ship (buyer incurs costs and risks). Thanks for your interest. Cheers. Pier

OMG!!!... I'd wish you luck with the sale, if only you needed any... ;-) Cheers, mate...

This is now sold... Thanks, everyone, for your interest... Cheers...

Up...

[quote name='Grant' timestamp='1483557991' post='3208265'] Bassdirect sold the bass for me a few years ago. I would be tempted but the exchange rate puts it well beyond my means. Good luck with the sale. Thanks [/quote] I understand... That's rather unfortunate for you guys... Let me know if you change your mind... Best to you... Cheers... Pier

[quote name='Grant' timestamp='1483373765' post='3206627'] Looks like my old bass. The clear scratch plate was made by the Sims custom shop in the UK. Is a great bass and I do miss it... [/quote] Hi, Grant. Did you trade your old bass with Bass Direct? Asking, 'cause that's where I got this one. Fancy getting her back? ;-) Cheers. Thanks for stopping by.

Price updated again. Was 3.250 Euros, now is 2.750 Euros. Come forward!!!

Price updated. Reduced in Euros and (sorry about the recent Brexit) increased in GBP.

[quote name='three' timestamp='1473333222' post='3129156'] Lovely - thank you! The temptation intensifies [/quote] I recently read an article to the effect that, once you're old, you'll regret the triggers you didn't pull (more or less)... Just saying... ;-)... Cheers, mate...

[quote name='three' timestamp='1472935398' post='3125491'] Do you have a close-up picture of the front of the headstock? [/quote] Sorry, man: I saw your post just now... Yes, I do: here it is... Cheers

Up!!!

Oh come on people... Come forward... Have no fear... 😂😜...

No love?!? :-)

Hello, everyone. I’m selling a [u]Fender Custom Shop 1955 Precision Bass NOS (New Old Stock) Master Built by Dennis Galuszka (MBDG)[/u]. I don’t think it needs much of an introduction. At any rate, the specs are: ash body (I think with a great figuring), maple neck (I’d say quarter sawn, with a soft “V” profile), rosewood fretboard (in my opinion, with a great “tone” to it), BadAss II bridge, Hipshot tuners, “F” hole and semi-hollow body (small cavity under the "F" hole). It’s a 2008 bass in close-to-perfect conditions, part of a limited run (8-10 pieces), and it’s a copy of an instrument built by Dennis Galuszka himself for Mike Dirnt (Mike Dirnt’s, which is identical, can be seen in the last picture from 2015). In my pictures, it mounts a custom transparent pickguard, built on exact measures (clearly, respecting the screws’ positioning) to make the wood stand out. Naturally, I will also supply the original pickguard (identical to the one in the last picture) as well as the original hard case (by G&G) and Fender Custom Shop’s certificate of authenticity (signed by Dennis Galuszka). It has Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats (JR344) strings on which, in my opinion, really make it shine (but that’s a matter of personal taste). Personally, I use it in a jazz/blues context (up to my limited abilities!!!), but I’d say it can easily adapt to any other context. It has a fantastic tone (definitely very “P”), very present and well balanced on all strings (which to me is an important trait). As to the price, I looked on www.Thomann.de and new Master Built Custom Shop Precision basses are between 4.800 and 5.200 Euros. Therefore, it is priced to sell at [u][s]2.500[/s] 2.350 GBP or [s]3.250[/s] 2.750 EUR[/u] (the price is a bit negotiable for a cash payment). I’m not sure I want to take trades, but I’ll consider sensible offers: with balance to be settled either way. [u][b]The bass is in Genoa, Italy[/b][/u] and anyone is more than welcome to come and try it in person (!!!). Naturally, I’m willing to ship. Thanks for your interest and best to all. Cheers.
