I keep going back and forth on listing this but I could do with the funds so, therefore, up for sale is my Epiphone Masterbilt Century Deluxe archtop bass in great condition. There’s a few light marks where it has been gigged, but nothing of any note. I have had the original piezo pickup and preamp removed and had a luthier fit a German Hofner pickup along with volume and tone controls. The wiring, pots and jack is a pre made loom bought on here from KiOgon. The stock pickup wasn’t great and the Hofner is a massive improvement. I’ve gigged the bass in an old time style band and it has a lovely upright like sound. It’s currently fitted with D’addario Nylon Tapewounds, but I will also include some Labella Low Tension Flats that also sound great on it. The tuner buttons have been replaced by some Schaller M6 ones. I’ll also include a ABS hard case that fits it perfectly. £650. Possibly interested in a trade/part exchange for another short scale bass....... Collection from Beccles, Suffolk much preferred but can post.

Not sure how I missed this but interested if the sale doesn't work out. -
Yes, that’s correct 👍

I ended up going with the end of the neck. Sounds pretty awesome at home so looking forward to trying it with the band.

Award Session Bluesbaby 22 guitar amp in excellent condition. Great sounding solid state combo fitted with Eminence Cannabis Rex speaker. Only selling to fund a bass. £325. -
These guitars are ace. What’s the action at the 12th fret please? Thanks. -
It has a Shadow piezo and preamp fitted currently, but I’m really not too impressed with it at all. String inbalance, background noise, piezo ‘quack’ and feedback are all pretty prominent. I’m off to seethe luthier later today so will see what he thinks too. Thanks for everyone’s input 👍
-
It’s a bluegrass/blues/swing style band playing pubs/party’s so generally pretty relaxed.
-
That was my worry, the parts and luthier costs to fit put me off and why I landed at the Hofner pickup.
-
I hadn’t even considered another piezo, and didn’t know you could get better versions. I did think about a K & K Pure Archtop pickup but thought the feedback might be too much still.
-
At the end currently, about where the pickup on the right is.
-
I tend to play at the end of the fretboard already, and the helpful advice here is suggesting not right against the neck, so out of the two options below I think the one on the left. Cheers.

I do have one, the problem is getting it in the car for gigs with my wife's drum kit and the PA. I suppose the other big problem is I suck at playing it.
