with case. Great quality 6 string bass with very friendly neck for those transitioning from 4 or 5 string basses. Sounds excellent too - tuned low B - high C. In excellent condition all round and comes with tags / manual / etc. Located in Exmouth, Devon - viewing / test welcome. I have a box / packaging from a recent 'Bass Bros' purchase so could also post at cost if needed. May consider trade for Japanese or US Precision or a good quality fretless. Specs: Body: Ash & walnut top Neck: wenge/bubinga reinforced with titanium rods Fingerboard: 24-fret Scale: 34″ Pickups: Nordstrand Electronics: Ibanez custom 3‑band EQ with mid‑frequency switch and bypass toggle Bridge: Mono‑rail V (16.5 mm spacing) Hardware: Gotoh tuners, GraphTech Black TUSQ nut, gold hardware

"Custom Shop" multi-scale bass. Scale is 37" to 34" - There's a whole thread about this bass HERE with more photos and stuff! This beast was ordered (after a few Christmas drinks..) from a builder on Ali Express around a year ago to give the multi-scale thing a go without investing in a real Dingwall! A custom headstock logo was part of the spec sheet so I went with 'Tesco Value' as this seemed to match my expectation at the time. It arrived after a month or so and is, actually a really playable bass. The build quality is decent and the passive and active electronics work well with no nasty buzzes or hisses and give a wide range of tones. Setup is pretty good and it plays well. Naturally it's not up to the standard of a 'real' one but a great way to give the multi-scale thing a go and see if it works for you - I liked it so much I got a real one! It very much is what it is... suits people with a sense of humour! I've enjoyed owning it and it's always been a bit of a talking point when I've taken it out! Up for sale now for around half the 'landed' cost. You're welcome to try before you buy in Exmouth (Devon). Trade considered against a bass head (I'm looking for something as a backup to my main rig so not too fussy as long as it works!) Any questions, drop me a line!

I've decided to pop it up for sale so... if anyone want's a playable multi-scale with a bit of a sense of humour (and without the wait of an Ali Express order!) - £200 takes it! Would also swap for a head - I'm after something as a backup to my Tech Amp so pretty much anything considered as long as it works! Located in Exmouth, Devon

Damn it!! But they are fine on the Ali Express one 🤣
-
I liked it so went and got a proper one! I’m sure it’ll not come as too much of a surprise to hear that it’s significantly better 😂
-
Thanks mate - and same to you too! Loving the Maruszczyk!!

Upped my investment 😂 set of DR Neon orange strings… I can see this getting out of hand….

Well… that’s something of a misleading question as, of course Ali Express is a selling platform, they don’t make gear themselves. You’re buying from an individual builder or company so it’ll depend entirely on which seller you’re buying from and I’m sure they all use different bits… some will be ok, some will not! That being said, the electronics in this one seem to work pretty well! No humms or hisses and the EQ and controls all do what they should.. I popped the back off to have a look and it seems to be a “Mings” preamp.. never heard of them but works fine!
-
It sounds pretty good!! No buzzes or hums and the active EQ works well - I’ll pop a video together at some point soon 👍
-
37” - 34”
-
It included delivery - There was about £60 import on top 👍

Finest?

Value seems to more accurately match my expectations 😂

After a few beers at Christmas I ordered a knock off Dingwall from Ali express.. I woke up the next morning to an email from the seller asking what “customisations” I wanted.. what a treat.. a custom bass!!… so I went to town, orange finish, 3 x pickups, maple neck… and a custom headstock logo! It arrived this morning - it’s awesome!! Obviously it’s not actually a finely crafted, custom instrument - but the finish is pretty clean and it sounds good, all the electrics work and it’s very playable!! The hardware is a bit lightweight… but for £279… it’s a lot of bass!

Late 70s / early 80s vox white shadow fretless bass - quite rare good quality bass - made in Japan. Perfect working order, no crackles or hisses! Very playable and sounds brilliant. Also included is original, vox, fitted hard case. Currently strung with flat wounds - could probably use a fresh set! View / test / collect from Exmouth.

Yamaha TRB-5P - through neck bass with Piezo and an installed Roland GR MIDI system. Also included is a Roland V-Bass unit - very rare and in perfect working order. Together these make an absolutely killer bass rig, sounds and plays fantastically. Now…. When the GR system was installed the previous owner cracked the body, purely cosmetic and has been repaired and is completely sound but looks a bit of a mess up close (looks fine from a couple of meters!). Doesn’t affect playability or function / sound but.. it is what it is.. grab a bargain because of it Available to view / test / collect in Exmouth, Devon Any questions just ask
