Phantomnin Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) I'm putting these up here because after 20 years good service I'm hoping they will go to someone who appreciates them. If you like headless basses you will know the advantages: Great balance, lighter weight and most importantly they hardly ever go out of tune. I got these out of the loft and after 9 months they are still both in tune. Also unlike the smaller Sohners and steinbergers, you can play these really easily on you knee. As I now have a Status streamline, these 2 are just not getting played to warrent keeping them. Both these basses got gigged quite a bit in the early 1990'but haven't been gigged Bass 1: Black active 'The jack' bass with 2 humbuckers, active/passive switch, 34" cale, headless. Bought at the bass centre years ago, 2nd hand. It already had a quite major looking crack in it, but I played it for years afterwards and it plays fine. I had it set up last year by the guy at the bass merchant, frets were smoothed and everything checked and it worked fine. Missing one pickup screw (they lost it!). Battery cover on back is broken. Bass 2: Natural, stained brown finish. Passive, Headless 34" scale. 2 Humbuckers. Small scrathes, 1 small nick on back of neck. Rusted pickup plates, only one tone knob working. Also bought at the bass centre, but from new. Has a great passive deep dubby sound. Both of these play great, but would need to be seen, so cash on collection only. Happy to demo them. £150 For the Black one £125 Fot the passive one £250 For both. Both basses have cases. The Balck one has a very sturdy case. The Brown one has solid enough case, but missing one corner protector. Here are pictures of the Black one...photos of the brown one to follow.

Phantomnin Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Here are the images of the Brown passive one. Joe Hubbard advised me to spend my money on this one when he taught me at 'The Bass Centre' and it did me well for the past twenty+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
