[quote name='slapierro' timestamp='1412005699' post='2564761'] thanks, bass-e-licious, i'm feeling very interessed [/quote] Feel free to come on over and test it!

Well, the preamp can take you beyond the traditional jazz tone. I can get a nice warm and thick precision like sound, Miller slaptone or a modern full sound.

Hi, it seems to me that the baseplate of your tuners is different from the tuners you linked to. Can you confirm?

[quote name='JamesTun' timestamp='1411775320' post='2562823'] Am I right in thinking that Yolanda Charles plays these? The make Blade, rather than the model. [/quote] Yolanda used to play an old Blade 4 string for many years. The weight of that particular bass gave her some discomfort during gigs, so she contacted Levinson about reducing the weight. She ended up with 2 new Blade basses, a four and five string in midnight blue finish, that Gary sent her to test. There are many pictures and videos of Yolanda playing her Blade basses. They really seem to fit her style.

[quote name='slapierro' timestamp='1411773378' post='2562801'] is it dust at the middle of the bass or between pickups ? ,i think that just some reflected light [/quote] You are right. There is a thin layer of dust under the strings and on the pups. This bass doesn't get played much anymore.

Hi Mike, on bathroom scale it weighs 4.1 kg.

Partial trades like - 4 string bass body and neck (Fender, Allparts) - Hipshot ultralight tuners (5x) - ...

Yes, they are fine instruments. Blade basses were quite popular in the nineties, somehow the focus shifted towards the Blade guitars.

Yes, the build quality is A++ on these basses. It is my first light weight bass that feels solid in your hands, plays easy and sounds great. Quite underrated basses.

Thanks silverfoxnik, I fully agree with you. With the preamp's Bass and Treble boost this bass really can get a full round sound or the typical Miller slaptone. That 70's pickups spacing really helps to bring out the bark from the bridge pickup. I hope this bass will find a new loving (and playing) owner soon

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1410362038' post='2548571'] how about an acg 5 string? [/quote] Thanks, but not my cup of tea. I'll pass on the ACG 5.

Not really looking for trades. But hey, you can always try. Might consider a Joe Osborn 5 string.

Hi, what's the stringspacing and scale length for both basses?

It is!

SOLD

In full working condition, looks like new. No power supply since it was on my daisy chain. Great sounds in this pedal. Good tracking for the octavers (up and down). Expression pedal can operate volume or effects.

I have a sale pending payment. If it falls through I'll notify you.
