Hard to find and great to play B-)

Very reluctant sale here; a Goodfellow Classic 5.

This has recently been serviced and set up and now plays with a low action.

The attached advert shows the specs for the instrument, and materials et cetera.

The Preamp utilises bass/mid/treble cut/boost with pickup pan.

Great balance, flexible sound.

I have several Goodfellow basses and spent sometime locating this, however, as noted in my other adverts, I am having a mercenary clearout of 5 strings for other to use more than I.

Comes with hardcase.

This is a beautiful instrument, with a 35" neck, East Preamp (see attached pic for breakdown of Electronics) essentially Bass/Treb cut/boost with sweepable Mids and pan pickups.

No dings, usual wear and tear for a gigged instrument (e.g. tarnished tuners etc).

The balance is great and the bass plays exceptionally with a very flexible tone.

So why am I selling? I really have little need for a 5 anymore, let alone several. So I need to reduce unnecessary quantities.
I have changed my mind with this before but this time it sadly must leave.

Comes with Softcase, collection from Margate.

So this is my old Bogart Bass
Strung E-C as we speak.
Recently set up and all electronics serviced.
Two years ago I sent it back the luthier to have a new fingerboard.

There are some scuffs to the body but otherwise the bass is in good condition and plays well.
General tarnishing to tuners etc as one would expect on a well gigged instrument.

Pickups are Bartolini

The preamp is active/passive with bass/mid/treble cut/boost and pickup pan.

Neck is 35" and bridge fully adjustable (inc string spacing)

Neck profile is flat and the bass balances perfectly.

Selling as I really have no need for several 5 strings anymore.

Softcase included.

Based in Margate.

Top bloke, very communicative and great to deal with.

Thanks again mate.

Swift and seamless bloke to deal with, totally recommended B-)

Thanks mate

Its a Carl Thompson, it is pretty much guaranteed to be a work of art. The coolest bass and i dont do the chip in on topic thing very often. Someone buy this one off B-)

Quick deal done with a couple of books; fast sending and great communications throughout.
Excellent person to deal with.

Much appreciated,
Steve R

This true gent did not sell me a bass, but helped me locate one and put me in touch with the person who could sell me one.

Top community spirited character - thanks again

As I said - up to the seller; just trying to do anyone here a favour and let them know if they are interested then it's worth negotiation as it really feels like a £300/400 bass and that for £700 you could do a lot more for your money. Having owned the bass, this is good advice.

Good luck guys/girls

Well, most Warwicks are pretty good. I used to own a Thumb for some years. Bottom line is that I understand people buy stuff to sell on for a bit extra, totally up to them, but the ESP is what it is - a copy of a retro fender with an ok but not versatile sound. The Warwick would defo be better sonically but obviously it depends upon what you look for.

Its a good enough bass don't get me wrong, but its not 700 quids worth!!

Hope this isn't against forum rules but anyway, [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1984-ESP-Japan-Horizon-Bass-P-Style-Fender-Tweed-Case-/301336252522?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item46290a506a"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1984-ESP-Japan-Horizon-Bass-P-Style-Fender-Tweed-Case-/301336252522?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item46290a506a[/url] is a bass I sold for £10 less than I paid for it (around 300/350 I think) - as an experienced bass player, I can honestly say it is not worth this sort of money!! Looks like profiteering to me, or I didnt know what I had but, pricewise, it seems to match 2nd hand warwicks and stingrays, and it certainly does not match those.

I suggest a haggle. You've got to.

Dont sell it. Its a work of art.

Cheers Joe - shame I will be so busy upon return - a jaunt to Wales woud be cool:)
