Classic!

Actually it is a Basic (quite an understatement for such an exorbitant instrument) but a classic nevertheless!

Ash body

Maple neck/board with black inlays
Graphite reinforcement bars inside the neck
Compound radius fingerboard
Neck width at nut 47,5 mm
String spacing at the bridge +/-18 mm
Scale 34"

Fender noiseless pickups (4th gen.)
Threeband EQ (18v) with passive tone control

Fender bridge with through body stringing (maximum sustain) or traditional top load (more attack)

Easy access dual way truss rod adjusting with spoke wheel at the base of the neck (like Sadowsky) 

Including Fender OHSC and certificate.

The bass is in very good, almost new, condition. No issues. Elites are arguably some of the best basses ever built by Fender.

Sculptured offset longhorn solid walnut body 
5 piece Eastern neck through maple neck, purple heart stringers
Fingerboard Pau Ferro
Double truss rod

24 jumbo frets
Scale 34”
4800 grams
Neck width 2” at the nut, 3 1/8” at the 24th fret

Schaller tuners
Tobias bridge
Bartolini TCT pre amp with 3 band EQ
Bartolini Tobias proprietary MTCC dual coils pickups

Tobias OHSC.

100% original and in great condition. Playability and sound are superb. A classic and timeless piece built by Mr. Michael Tobias and crew in Hollywood.

Ash body, quilted maple top, maple 3 piece neck with block inlays and binding. Low End proprietary stacked single coil pickups. Pre amp Gregory G-BP3 (brand new,

much like F Bass, transparent and very musical but more versatile.) 

String spacing at bridge +/- 19mm

Very solid well thought over top quality Jazz Bass built by Benavente guitars and assembled by Brian 'Mr. Low End' Barrett.

Plays and feels very comfortable, sounds like a Jazz Bass on steroids with extended note capacity.

What I can say in my non scientific maybe even biased humble opinion is that it is not as bright as a maple board with ash body, but not as dark as an alder body with rose board neck. For some the perfect synthesis.

My old bass. Nice one. Good luck selling.

Very nice one Rainer. If this would have been for sale a week earlier...

Hi there.

 

Those are terrific, terrific basses. Great playability and wide palette of sounds. Killer B string.

 

I have the same model, but from 2002. I’ve kept Bartolini p/ups - sounds phenomenal for any kind of music. Will never sell.

 

Given the prices nowadays I think yours is correct priced as well. Beauty! One would wonder why is this still here.

Thanks for your supportive comments. These oldies have something special. Whether it is a different build quality or ‘just’ the ageimg of the woods I don’t know, but it feels like an old  jeans, without the relic stuff.. just some minor honest playing wear. Considering the condition, the lightness and the extra set of pickups I think the price ia justified. New this would cost now over €5750. Then again: old woods versus new woods is easy math…

Price includes shipping in Europe.

Fun note: this the exact bass that Warwick, Thoman and Bax used in their publications. Also: they do not have one in stock and delivery times are are several months…

Steve showed interest in a bass I advertised on BC. All communication was very sensible

and pleasant. We agreed on the deal and payment was done quickly.

Meanwhile the bass has gone through customs in the UK with no delay and Steve kindly

expressed to be very happy with it: a perfect example of things working out well for both!

Bought a nice FBass from Alexis. Communication was very pleasant. When we agreed on the terms and payment was done Alexis took care of good packing and quick shipping. The bass arrived in good order and in the perfect condition as projected by Alexis. Recommended Basschatter! 

Sadowsky Metro Japan UV70 (2012)

Ash body, maple neck/board, 70's pickups position, 19mm string spacing, dark see-through black finish, black bounded neck and block inlays.

Sadowsky humfree pickups and Sadowsky pre-amp with VTC. With a little under 4700 grams not the lightest -for a Sadowsky- but certainly

one of the snappiest and tightest! Marcus Millerish? 100%! Bass is fitted with Nordstrand single coil 70's winding (€220) which sound more

open and dynamic. The bass comes with the original Sadowsky pickups in the Sadowsky rectangular semi-hardcase.

and technically no issues.

Hello, do you still have this gig bag?

Bought an F-Bass BN5 from Arnold. Communication and handling is smooth and even more a

pleasure since we share  love for the instrument.  And oh yes... that F-Bass is a monster. It arrived

well packed, clean and very well set up. Thanks Arnold! 

Ibanez Grooveline G105-NT (2011)

5-piece wenge/bubinga titanium enforced neck, rosewood fingerboard 

Alder body with figured ash top and back

Scale Length: 34" / 864mm

Width at Nut: 43mm
Width at bridge 18mm

Frets: 22 Medium Frets with Prestige Fret Edge Treatment

Tight-End (titanium?) bridge
Hardware: Cosmo Black

Controls: Volume, Balance, Bass, Mid, Treble

4700 gram

Quite rare. The looks may be an acquired taste. But ergonomically it all makes sense. Fantastic bass.

Stands comparison with any high end bass. Also pricewise it should be up there with Fodera, Smith etc.

This Grooveline bass reminds me of pre-Gibson Tobias basses especially.  The low end EQ provides for

all the 'oomph' you need and the mid freq. ads (or cuts) the most effective harmonicly rich flavor I have

ever experienced. No kidding.
