RYBSKI 8 Strings Octave Bass, unique bass made in 2016 as a special order for the Wooten Bass Camp. Would prefer selling it, but, as it's a unique bass, trades are always welcome, especially for a fretless bass : 4, 6 or 8 (no octave strings) strings unlined are my preferences. Please take into account when proposing me a trade that this is a one off that would cost you around $4000 USD new, without the import taxes. Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £1675 GBP !!! In fully working condition and in excellent overall condition. Here are the specifications : Body : 2 pieces mahogany core with book matched black walnut top and back Neck : 5 pieces set neck made of rock maple + mahogany + 4 rosewood stripes Fingerboard : rosewood with side dots Frets : 24 (no wear at all) Headstock : 4 + 4 shape (angled) with black walnut top Pickups : 2 Bartolini's MM42CBJD3 (same pickups as early Lakland basses) Preamp : ACG EQ01 5K Controls on the first row from neck to bridge: stacked volume/blend, stacked low pass filter for the neck pickup with filter peak level/filter frequency, stacked low pass filter for the bridge pickup with filter peak level/filter frequency, passive tone Controls on the second row from neck to bridge : stacked high pass filter for both pickups with treble level/ treble frequency, parallel/single coil/series (vertical) switch for the neck pickup, rear/front coil (horizontal) switch (reversed pickup, but not phase) for the neck pickup, parallel/single coil/series (vertical) switch for the bridge pickup, rear/front coil (horizontal) switch (reversed pickup, but not phase) for the bridge pickup Tuners : Hipshot Ultralite Bridge : Schaller 3D-8 fully adjustable (high and low strings separately) Strings spacing at bridge : 19 mm Nut : brass Strings spacing at nut : 10 mm Knobs : metal Scale : 34 inches Hardware colour : gold (except for the two rear/front coil switches) Truss rod : 1 (fully working) Finish : satin old way Land of craftsmanship : USA Serial number : none Year : 2016 Weight : 4.4 kilos (on the light side for such a bass) Action : from 1.5 mm under the G strings to 2 mm under the E strings at 12th fret (can go lower, but was perfect for me) Will come with a used Warwick RockBag Premium Line and gold security locks . Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this bass because I can't find a register for it being a fretless player, and I only seem to be able to play Byrds tune with it. This bass was originally fretless and with non sense switches. It's been converted to a fretted by a previous owner and I changed the switches to be able to use all pickups possibilities, it's perfectly balanced, absolutely no neck diving and such fun to play, even if you need a plane pilot licence to use the preamp and switches combinations ! Here is what Rybski wrote to the previous owner : Here is the link to the ACG EQ01 : http://www.acguitars.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ACG_EQ01.pdf The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has a new battery and has been fitted with a brand new set of Rotosound stainless steel round wound strings made out of two sets of Swing Bass 66 (20/40 - 35/60 - 35/75 - 45/95), which fit the bass to perfection. What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real condition : almost in new condition with very the few visible light dings photographed. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

Warwick LWA 1000, dirt cheap, dirt light, two channels and 1000 Watts ! They resell second hand for peanuts.

By the way, they are also called Gotoh Pro Bridges and I had a few basses with them.

There is a screw at the front of the saddle (pickup side) for the strings spacing adjustment : release it and the upper side of the saddle will move laterally. It's a very well thought bridge, but as it's zamac, it's very fragile, so don't screw to death. 😉

And 399 Euros, who is screwed to the stool (Gibson reference for those who don't follow) ?
-
It always had. 😉

FS/FT/PX: Beautiful '68 fretless Jazz 3TSB **SOLD PENDING THE USUAL**
Hellzero replied to Beedster's topic in Basses For Sale
Five years ago, I started my ads here on BC by selling my pristine Fender 1970 Precision Bass Fretless fully original at the correct price and my all original (except for one neck, see below) 1968 Fender Jazz Bass in heavy relic condition with two necks (one fully original fretted and one fretless with a new Brazilian rosewood fingerboard) at a more than decent price. It took ages to go and I ended up fully trading them both... Hope you'll find someone to buy yours, because eBay is certainly not the place to sell it. ☹️ -
Looks like India will need to screw up another batch.

Gibson just getting weirder and weirder.

I only have one question : Is the stool screwed or pushed in his *ss ? -
Oops, thought it was one of these : http://pierre.martines.free.fr/index.html Wear sunglasses !

I guess you mean seated on... 🤣

Just received the Warwick Corvette Fretless made in Germany that Frank sent me. Very fast shipping, excellent communication throughout, very well packed. A new credit to BassChat.

To burn them ? 😱

If there's a fretless 4, I'm interested, and even if it's not a fretless, I'll defret it. They are 32 inches scale, right ? 32,7 inches, I've seen it on your website. I'm in for one NT 4 (fretless or fretted).
-
I still can't stand number 2 and 4 for the same reasons. Number 3 is better now, but still a bit lifeless like number 1. Number 5 is still the best sounding, the more even in the response and the more "transparent". So number 5 again. Can you please tell me by PM what preamps are these, even if I'm pretty sure for number 2, 3 and 4 ? So, I can delete the 4 first from my list. Thanks a lot Owen.

So do we. My wife and I made an epic Motörhead evening last week listening to some of our favourites and watching some live footage. We miss Lemmy so much, he was so different and so charismatic.

I'm also in love with this Alembic Spoiler 32 inches with a full size body :

Indeed.
