Can you tell me the precise weight ? As in to nearest ounce please. You imply earlier that it’s heavy. What year was it made and serial number too thanks. Cheers

No trades at this point thank you as I need to pay off another bass. I’ll keep trying to sell it for the time being. Cheers.

Hi everyone. I bought this great passive bass ( Vol Vol Tone ) new from GuitarGuitar in Feb 2017. Serial Number 160304485 - see headstock edge photo. Only occasional playing at home so no noticeable wear apart from very slight signs on some frets under the E string frets 3 to 7 ish. Only noticed this when packing and polishing the frets, oiling the board. It still has the Lakland ST/ST 45 65 85 105 round wound strings on and they’re still lively and seem to suit these powerful pickups. I don’t use st/st on my other basses but I’d stick with them on this bass. Superb P pickup and a great tone control for lots of very useable tones. I had the 3 pots upgraded to the more durable CTS pots on the advice of Steve Barratt at guitarlodge.co.uk nearby in Felixstowe. CTS are 1/4 inch shafts so Steve drilled out and shimmed the original knobs, just this year so this bass is ready to rock. It’s a dense Ash body so 10lb 5oz / 4.6kg but nicely balanced and you get the advantage of super clear tones and sustain. These earlier years of the 44-64 have the lovely white neck binding and full white pearl blocks on a super dark rosewood board in this case. The more recent years version don’t have the binding , just a dark abalone corner to each block. The pickups and hardware are the same as on Lakland’s USA models. They’re shipped back to Chicago for checking and Pleking of the fretboard ( computer aided machine levelling process using sensors to eliminate even the slightest high spots of the frets ). See photo of Plek Tag 25 May 2016. I’ve packed it up already in inner cardboard coffin type box, then packed well in usual large outer box. Please see my feedback - when 8 say MINT I mean No blemishes or swirls or tiny marks or dinks etc. Thought I was going to send it off for commission sale but decided not to, hence packed already and hence less than tip top photos but I think they show what you need. There are some pics in a low sun from last week and the bright ones were taken by GGuitar in Birmingham for me to verify it was a pukker example I was buying ( I sent two back.) Make me a sensible offer and it’s yours. You will not be disappointed! ( UK delivery only , on me.) Only selling as I’ve enjoyed it for nearly 7 years and have recently splashed out on other basses which need funding. Specs then photos.

Last chance for this great bass. £475 and that’s it. PM me to arrange free delivery from The Gallery. Cheers.

Thanks very much for your expert comments guys. Someone’s going to love this bass but I’ve had my own 3 years of fun with it so time to pass it on. Sensible offers considered still. Cheers.

To clarify Price already dropped from £645 to £545.

Thanks for the recommendation! Yes, an endless variety of tones available and she’s a real beauty. At this price, I’ll get the same on here as if anyone buys it from the gallery direct ( their commission vs me paying postage to get it back from them and then post on to you - Palaver ! ) PM me and I can drop slightly on price. Cheers. GnarlyQuent

Thanks for the Bumps guys. Guess what? It plays tunes too !! Great Glock 2 band to launch the excellent clear and punchy Haussel pickups. I have another Maruszczyk to keep me happy here and need funds to pay off some other basses so she’s got to go. Lucky to have had her for home play only for a few years. Cheers.

Ha! You’re always funny! It’s absolutely gorgeous in the “flesh” and might sound an understated combo of Haussel pickups with Glockenklang 2 band but they cover everything any pair of singles can do. Dead quiet too electronically.

……..OR, send me a PM if you want to buy it from TBGallery and I’ll do Basschatters rates.

Likewise your listed B-206SM ! 👍

I’m in Ipswich Mike. The bass is at The Bass Gallery in Camden currently. They will post it back to me here if a Basschatter wants to have it. Thanks for the other comments guys. Cheers

Hi everybody, Here’s my 2018 Sire V7 Marcus Miller 5 Gen 1 in mint condition, not played that much as I have a few to play fortunately. I bought it new Dec 2018, then got a Sire Fretless 5 and P7 Gen 2 fiver so I need to shed one of them. Sold it before ,briefly ,then bought it straight back on Basschat! I need to pay off a recent purchase and my Bass Fund is empty. They’re exciting basses. Very versatile, a controllable powerful preamp whether Gen 1 or 2. I’ll only consider close offers because this is in perfect condition and even the nice tort pick guard faint swirls have buffed out. I’ll use the original Sire cardboard coffin box and an outer with packing between the two. The pickups are single coil pickups made with a fiber bobbin, Alnico 5 magnets, and heavy Formvar magnet wire. They are positioned in the ‘60’s position. Like everything else on this bass, the pickups are made by Sire Guitars. This 18-volt preamp is the most versatile preamp I have used on a bass. When strapped up or balanced on the knee, the bass balances very well without any neck dive. Specifications: Body Material – North American Alder. Gorgeous creamy antique white gloss. Weight - 10 lbs 6oz / 4.7kg using accurate digital scales. Body Shape – Marcus Miller Jazz Type , nicely balanced, no neck dive. Neck Material – 1 Piece Hard Maple with two graphite rods. Really nice wavy figuring on this neck. Neck Shape – C-Shape Scale – 34” Fingerboard – Very Dark Rosewood (looks like Ebony but Spec with bass said Rosewood, darkest I’ve ever seen, beautiful. ) with Ivory coloured Binding. Fingerboard Radius – 7.25” Frets – Medium Small, 20 Frets String Nut – /5 String: Natural Bone @ 46mm width Inlays – White Pearloid Block Neck Joint – 4 Bolt Steel Square Plate Pickups – Marcus Miller Super Jazz Single Coil. Alnico 5 magnets Electronics – Pre Amp is an 18v Marcus Heritage 3 system. Both batteries OK at 9.1 v checked today. Controls : See photo of layout. The knobs protrude rather oddly but that’s how they are on this model. Volume/ Passive Tone (Stacked Pot) Tone also works alongside the EQ Pickup Blend Treble Mid/Mid Frequency Sweep (Stacked Pot) Bass, Mini Toggle (Active/Passive) See photo of control layout. Bridge - Marcus Big Mass 1, with big block type saddles vs barrels. Through Body. String Spacing @ Bridge – 5 String: 18mm 6 month old set of D’Addario EXL170 45 65 80 100 125 ( 130 replaced) Bass not played much but only due to having a good few to play luckily. Hardware Finish – Chrome Pickguard – Tortoiseshell on 3 ply White/Black/White Thanks for looking. Ask if you need more info.
