Shockwave Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Hey guys. Up for sale or trade is a Mint Dean Rhapsody 12 string in Trans black. Mahagony body with maple cap. Grover tuners. Not as heavy as i thought it would be! EMG pickups. Great versatile EQ. Lots of variation between the pups. Maple and Walnut sandwich neck. There are no issues with the bass Its in near mint condition no case but it does come with a spare set of strings. (Yes all twelve of them) Great clarity of sound and actually has a massive slap tone. As for what i want in trade try me! Just tell me what you got! Price is £270 Also bare in mind i havent got much in the way of transport so any trades will probably be done in Bristol and surrounding area. Cheers.

Semi-fretless? In any case, allow me to register my tentative interest in a very fine-looking instrument!

Scoop Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Bump for a great bass. I've got one in my arsenal (although tbh I neglect it dreadfully - it must be three months since I even took it out of its case) and seeing this ad has made me resolve to get a bit more use out of it. Now... how DO I get that King's X tribute band off the ground...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 sounding n00bish, but how on earth do you go about playin that thing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 You have to flatten your fingertips a bit when you fret a note, to cover all three string courses. The play all three at once. The same as you would a normal 4 string, really, just more fiddly. Probably easier with a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Reduced price to 270. By the way the bridge pickup is not a EMG HZ its a real EMG. Edited January 11, 2008 by Shockwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exile252 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The only thing that making me think is, tuning and buying strings. Is it hard to detune and how much do the strings cost? Oh btw, my Jazz should be worth like £300 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen many fender jazz V's go for under 250 on ebay. It's not hard to detune per say though yes it takes a while to tune properly. Not sure about the strings. I havent this long though i have a complete spare set. Eithr way thinking about it, i think i'll pass on the fender. But thanks for the offer!
