Beautiful, all the best with the sale.

The bass has now been traded. Thank you for your comments.

Thank you kindly.

Thanks mate, hope you’re keeping well.

Thank you Kev, Much appreciated. It sounds pretty good too, and deserves to be in the hands of someone better than me.

I picked this bass up in a trade recently. It’s absolutely mint and like new, it plays beautifully with a medium low action and has just had new Markbass strings fitted. For the uninitiated Alpher Instruments are fast gaining a world wide reputation as bass and guitar builders, and are firmly established as one of the UK’s premium luthiers. The wait for their instruments can be long, so grab yourself the opportunity to score a mint example at well under RRP! I am happy to consider a straight trade for a bass of equivalent value and have a preference for jazz style basses. I am also happy to look at something cheaper with cash my way or even a more expensive instrument with a small cash contribution from me, it depends on what’s out there. I have specced the bass on the Alpher website and you can see the new RRP in the attachment, along with all the relevant build/spec details.. As far as I know this is the only bass of its kind. It comes with a branded Alpher Hiscox case, and a special adjusting tool. I am happy to drive a reasonable distance to meet a prospective buyer, or even deliver myself to a local destination. No offence intended but I would rather not send the bass outside of the UK. I will be open to a trade for a nice short or medium scale bass as well. If you have any questions or trade offers please drop me a pm ,I will be more than happy to assist. Cheers.

Lovely tone and some very tasty playing, best of luck with the sale.

That’s a beauty!

Lovely sounding bass and an excellent ,concise and well executed video. Bravo sir.

Stunner, looks fabulous and sounds even better. GLWTS.

Lovely bass, do you have a box to post it in if a courier collection could be arranged?

Withdrawn, please close this thread. Thanks,

Thanks for your comment. I hope so. It needs to be played and used by someone who can really do justice to it.

Only recently acquired from Brian of this parish, I have decided to move this combo on purely as it’s way beyond what I require for playing in the house. The power and clarity are simply fabulous for something so light weight. It comes with a carrying case for transportation to and from gigs. For medium to quieter gigs in small halls and pubs this is probably all you would ever need. The sound is so clear and precise it’s scary and it seems to make you strive to play better as every note is sonorous and projects beautifully from the 10 inch speaker and 4 x 2.5 inch line array style neo drivers. Condition is absolutely immaculate. I would prefer a straight sale but I am also prepared to listen to trade offers for smaller lower powered combos of excellent repute with cash my way. They must be in top condition though as the Genzler looks almost new. Please note that I am not interested in selling the head and cabinet separately at this stage. I would rather not post this item. I travel for work so it should be possible to meet on the road somewhere whilst ensuring appropriate safety measures are respected. The amp can also be collected from my house which is two minutes from Haydock racecourse just off the M6. https://www.genzleramplification.com/shop/magellan-350-combo/ If you have any questions please ask. Thanks, Mark.

I acquired this bass recently in a trade with Paul (The Bass Monkey), and it is without doubt the most exquisite I have owned. However I have decided that having something so good is not really sensible as I am not a bass player as such, and lovely though it is (and very easy to play) this stunning instrument is not going to get the use it deserves. I would prefer a straight sale but I am also happy to accept a lesser bass with cash my way. I am only really interested in Fender Jazz basses or similar. Please see the specs below and the replacement cost. There is only one of these basses in circulation as far as I am aware. As you can see the bass has had very little use. It was in immaculate condition when I received and it has been played by me for a few hours since. The action is medium and the bass sounds absolutely stunning, probably owing to the build quality which is frankly second to none, the excellent Nordstrand pickups and the wood choices. One of my own personal favourite features is the beautiful flamed roasted maple neck which gives the bass a very distinguished appearance. “Cobia V2 34 inch scale 21 fret Nickel silver frets One piece rippled ash body Roasted maple neck Rocklite fingerboard Nordstrand PJ blade pickups Passive electronics (vol, 4 way, tone) Hipshot kickass bridge Hipshot ultralite tuners Worn black / white finish Black / aluminium layered pickguard Aluminium control plate If that bass was ordered again today it would be in the £3000-£3500 range depending on the exact pieces of wood chosen.” Please drop me a line if you have any questions or if you want to hear how the bass sounds. I can send you a link to the Alpher site where there is a comprehensive video demonstrating the tonal qualities of the instrument. Thanks, Mark.

Lovely tone, and equally lovely playing. GLWTS.

I just want to quickly thank Paul for his help in securing this fabulous instrument. An absolute gent. All the best , Mark.

Good Afternoon, I have sent you a pm. cheers
