An F Bass BN5 and some money.

All my old bass and guitar magazines (200 to 300) have gone to the bin as nobody wanted them, even for free... Hope you'll be more lucky.

Huge price drop to sell fast at £1250 GBP, yes £1250 GBP !!!

And here an album with all pictures and some more : https://photos.app.goo.gl/M6SGZU1QnEymRKqU8

And maybe the best fretless ever too. No kidding. I'm thinking of adding a preamp to transform it into the ultimate fretless. Remember that I'm owning two Masterpieces (a MP 628 SF and this MP 631 SF) hence the sale...

@JESUS RICO : we can certainly arrange something...

And traded !

Back to sale or trade. As usual, it was a ghost buyer.

And where are you based ? A bit of a shame if you bought it like that.

Very nice indeed.

Almost a week later, still no pictures.

Gorgeous.

Thinning down the herd, so selling the basses I don't use. FOR SALE OR TRADE (a 4 strings lined fretless with same retail value would be perfect, but hit me with your proposals). Ultra mega rare STATUS Electro II 6 Jonas HELLBORG personal model, only 2 known basses made !!! The specifications : 32 3/9 " scale (as wanted by Jonas HELLBORG himself). 26 frets with zero fret. 1.5 mm action under the C string up to 2 mm under the B string 14 mm strings spacing at the Status Electro bridge (as wanted by Jonas HELLBORG himself). 8 mm at the graphite nut. 1 double action truss rod (beware as it's a typical English left screwing model). 3 bass Gotoh tuners on the bass side + 3 guitar Gotoh tuners on the treble side. Woven graphite neck with Rosewood fretboard. The semi-solid body with a single 'F' hole has a double size two-piece mahogany back with a red coloured veneer and book-matched Rosewood facing. Acoustic chambers are machined into the mahogany before the top is glued on : this allows the body to resonate and create a warmer, more "open" response. 1 Status Hyperactive humbucker really close to the bridge (as wanted by Jonas HELLBORG himself) + 1 piezo pickup under the saddle in the bridge with balance, master volume (20 detent positions), treble cut/boost for magnetic and treble cut/boost for piezo (like on all Electro II series). Weight 5.2 kilos (not that heavy for 2 bodies glued together). Delivered in original Status gigbag. Equipped with Thomastik JR round wound nickel strings (029 - 043 - 051 - 068 - 089 -118). Satin finish for the body and thick glossy finish for the neck. Delivered to Jonas HELLBORG in November 2001. Set up by Christophe LEDUC. It is the rarest Status bass ever, completely original and never modified. Official price today will be more than £4500 GBP is you can get one made. Asking price is £3000 GBP due to the extreme rarity of this bass. Here a link to a translated Japanese web site where the other one is pictured : https://translate.google.be/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fakelasbass.blog134.fc2.com%2Fblog-entry-6.html&edit-text=&act=url. The pictures to see the real condition, which shows only some very little wear with three "marks" on the headstock where the finish is altered like often on graphite necks, so two cracks in the thick glossy finish on the left and right side of the headstock over the tuners plus scratches under the E string on the face of the headstock :

Don't pay, a bass is more useful.

On hold.

Superb instrument. GLWYS or GLWYT.
