Hi I am not a good enough player to be able to play 4 5 and 6 string basses and to swap from one to another at will. I have spent the last few months working with my five string and am ready to use it at gigs. I have there for decided that I will sell all my 4 string bases or swap for 5 stringers. This is the the second I have for sale It is the best jazz bass I have played and I have played a couple of custom shop models. One piece swamp ash body in Antique white One piece birdseye maple neck with EBONY board (you dont get them very often now) Audere preamp 2 band 3 Z modes Nordstrand pickups NJ4SEs Baddass 2 bridge Schaller BMs lightweight tuners Its a whos who of the top bits I bought it from sisterabdullahx who had it made for him. It would cost over £1300 just to buy the bits pay the taxes and import duty then you need a luthier to assemble it The only reason for selling (or swapping) is that I have decided I cannot play 4 and 5 strings its one or the other for me. So I am only using 5 stringers. I bought it for £475 which was a steal and will sell for the same I have no wish to make a profit. If I do not sell I will break it up and sell the bits on the bay where I will get at least what I paid but probably more (look at warmoth stuff on ebay) The action is the lowest I have ever seen on a bass without any fret rattle it plays looks and sounds fantstic. [b]There is a picture in my personal photo [/b]I will put up some others tomorrow I am ideally after a sale on this one but may be tempted by a trade Ive always fancied a 5 string corvette $$ but anything else would be considered also I am particularly after a biggish amplifier (Eden IAmps SWR etc ) minimum 500 watts. Cash either way on a deal. any questions dont hesitate to contact me skez

Hi I am not a good enough player to be able to play 4 5 and 6 string basses and to swap from one to another at will. I have spent the last few months working with my five string and am ready to use it at gigs. I have therefore decided that I will sell all my 4 string bases or swap for 5 stringers. This is the first This is a Prose karuna it was made by Paul Rose for a fellow basschatter who sold it on to wrinkleygit who sold it on to me. I was designed as a travel headless bass guitar it is a full 34 inch scale length. The neck is bolted into sockets set in the body so it always goes back on in exactly the same place a brilliant idea. The original owner wanted it for a tour and the idea was he could take the neck off and fit it in an airline overhead locker. It comes in a guitar sized gig bag. It has ABM individual bridge tuner units and an ABM headpiece. It can take double ball end or ordinairy strings. The nut is a 'just a nut' with individual adjustment for string height. the body is spanish cedar the neck is maple the board is rosewood with brass side markers. The pickups are emg Hz passive clones (and are as loud as hell) each has a volume control which is push pull to coil tap each humbucker giving a great range of sounds no tone controls. the body and neck are oil finished and the neck is very precision like chunky. It cost £500 to make and then £60 for the gigbag and pro set up for the originbal owner. I paid £325 for it from Wrinklygit and would like to get that back. I am not desparate to sell as there is only one of these guitars in the world but will offer it to basschatters for a couple of weeks. If at the end of that time it has not sold ill put it away ans save it. I am prepared to trade and am after an amplifier head / combo or a good 5 string guitar cash either way. contact me if you have any questions or offers ANY TRADE CONSIDERED looking for a good quality 2x 10 particularly new lightweight Trace Elliot skez pics here: [url="http://s639.photobucket.com/albums/uu114/Jonnygonad/"]http://s639.photobuc...114/Jonnygonad/[/url]

Finally these basses are starting to get recognised for their quality and playability. An active 4 string in sunburst ended last night on Ebay at £236. skez

[quote name='LemonCello' post='1311133' date='Jul 21 2011, 08:34 AM']I've got this Amp with 4x10 and 2x10 cabs. It's a good bit of kit, plenty loud and with a wide range of sounds. The tube preset is fairly convincing however, the distortion is a bit pants. I'm really happy with mine and I paid a lot more than this. A bargain I'd say. Good luck, LC[/quote] Yes a great bit of kit the flat sound w3hich is the only one I would use is quite hi fi but its a bit OTT for a backup rig and that is all it really has been skez

[quote name='blunderthumbs' post='1303688' date='Jul 14 2011, 04:16 PM']Black SGC Nanyo Bass collection bass. SB 301[attachment=84696:IMG_1744.JPG] Made in Japan not the chinese version or Korea or speakeasy or Marina. This is the genuine article PASSIVE P/J pickups. Chrome hardwhare. Gotoh tuners nice low action. These where £500 when new I read somwhere. I am offering this one for £150 + whatever postage costs are. It will come in a Fender thick padded gigbag and also well packaged in a guitar box. Collection and cash also an option.[/quote] Hi Ive got one of these Ive had it ages. I thought the bridge had been changed but yours is exactly the same as mine. The reason I suspected a bridge change is that I have 4 bass collections and the other 3 have a different style Gotoh bridge. My other 3 are active. I use the passive one for backup or outdoor gigs in the rain (like todays music festival). Ive thought about selling mine but you cannot get anything like the quality for the same money. skez
