MG bass Lined Fretless custom

- 7 piece Maple / Wengé neck with a nice dark piece Ebony for the fretboard, 24 fret lines with dot markings on the side of the neck

- 2 Nordstrand Zen blade pickups passive Volume / Balance / Tone

- Ebony ramp 

- Gotoh tuners and bridge

- The weight is 4.4 kg

In short, a beautiful bass like you will rarely encounter one.

I have just received this one month ago after waiting for ir for 9 months, but unfortunately I have to sell it already because I am being evicted from my home and therefore have to free some funds for the impending move.

Since this is currently my only bass and I don't want to spend too much time without, trading in a cheaper bass (4 or 5 string, fretted or fretless with markings)  + cash my way is certainly negotiable.

Also exchange with a lightweight combo + cash my way is an option, just send a message if you have a proposal.

The bass came with black tapewounds (first pictures), but I've had it set-up with a fresh set of Thomastik Infeld flats by my luthier (last pictures).

These last pictures also show you how the bass looks without the ramp, which is ofcourse still included in the sale.

(I just prefer to play without, so I temporarely removed it, but it wille slide right back into place in case you prefer it with the ramp)

The bass can be shipped worldwide and the list price includes a brand new Thomann hardcase to ensure safe shipping.

Please check my feedback!  

Made some more pictures today with the new Thomastik strings (the ramp is not installed in this picture as I prefer to play without, but it can be put back in place in a matter of seconds).

Really looking for a sale or a trade with cash my way right now as I have to move house soon and need the funds.

Just got notice today that the building I'm renting has been sold and I'm being evicted, so now I really need to get some cash together to fund the pending move.

Will consider near offers now.

Shipping is no problem

Thanks, I might be interested in the 2x8" cab if 4114 effects doesn't want it.

Yeah I can split if needed.

Are the cabs both the same size/weight?

Lovely, have a free bump on me.

lovely! 😍

Fair enough.  I'd imagine it's rather punchy with those ceramic Nordies?

Yes it is, very punchy and defined and the volume is very even over all the strings with these pickups, they almost take away the need for a compressor in the chain.

She can sound clean as a whistle or give you tons of mwaah depending on the technqiues you use.

 I can send you some soundclips if you are interested?

Can I ask why you're selling it? Other than the form you mention. Anything else?

Other than that the body feels small compared to my Fender style basses, there's the fact that finances were a lot better when I ordered this bass 9months ago... and now I find myself needing to downgrade.

That is absolutely stunning!

Thank you brother, I will try to upload some more detailed pictures tomorrow.

Suprised this hasn't gone yet, it's basically a 50% discount on a brand new custom bass.. 

Bump,

C'mon people this is a bargain here, when ordered today this would set you back 2.190£ + taxes! 😢 

And god knows how long you'ld have to wait, it took 9months to build. No fretless love here??

Amazing value for money these...

I bought one of these 2 years ago to see if fretless was for me and got hooked right away. I've been playing fretless basses exclusively ever since.  

A picture with and without the ramp. Both look options look good i.m.o.  

Aguilar Tonehammer in mint condition,

only used in my home studio, so it has never been pushed hard.

Alas the  112 cab I was using it with died yesterday and buying a new cab will probably not fit my budget this month,

so I'm hoping to find a trade with a lightweight combo (cash adjustment your way can be discussed ofcourse).

I would prefer a trade with lightweight 112 combo (Markbass/Tecamp/...), but will consider a  compact/lightweight 210 combo as well, w.h.y.g.?

Beautiful piece!

Do you know Qi Gong?

Thanks bud,

I did some Taijiquan when I was younger.

Now you mention it, it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to start doing some of those exercises again.  

Just sold a Genz Benz combo to Gareth, smooth deal, with great communication all the way, can't recommend him enough!  

Hi BC'ers,

I have an Aguilar TH350 that doesn't see any use atm, so I'm looking for a trade with a small, lightweight combo.

(But will take cash as well ofcourse.. 😛 )

The head is just a couple months old and has only seen studio use, it's as good as new and comes with original packaging and papers.

Looking for a lightweight combo with decent D.I. out, I'ld prefer a Markbass minimark 802, but will consider other lightweight 1x12, 2x8 and 2x10 combo's.

Cash adjustment either way can be discussed.

Note: I'm in Belgium, but shipping overseas is a lot cheaper, faster and easier than you might think. (check my feedback!  )

PM'd!

Sold a Markbass combo to Illian, great coms, fast payment and a gent to deal with.

Hallo jonge ik heb geen veel geld nu maar ik ben een beetje curieuse voor deze bas te proberen.... Denkt je dat is mogelijk? 

Hi Marco, you are more than welcome to come try her out in Ghent.

Send me a PM when you would like to come by and then I'll give you my adress and phone number so we can arrange a meeting.

Hi bud, are you interested in trades ?

Boss LMB-3 now on hold pending payment.

Woodchipper, Fuel tank and pedal board are still available.

*** VFE pedals Woodchipper 
(Hi end Maestro Brassmaster clone with build in opamp and dual mode switching!) - 130£ ***

The WOODCHIPPER bass octave fuzz is derived from the classic Maestro Brassmaster circuit. 
In order to fit it all in a compact package, we sourced an expensive, military-spec audio transformer that delivers the same frequency response in a much smaller package. 
Next, we added a more flexible EQ section, and a unique BOTTOM control that adds clean low-bass that adds punch and fatness to the octave fuzz.

I'm now open to trades with  cheaper 4 and 5 string basses, fretted or lined fretless. 

I'm also looking for a compact and lightweight 112/208/210 cab or a compact and lightweight combo with D.I. out,  W.h.Y.G.?
