franzbassist Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) I love this bass, I really do, but I must thin the herd so like the 66 Jazz this one must go. This is a beautiful Martin bass from the early 1990s, most likely 1992 with: [list] [*]solid spruce top and truly stunning solid Indian rosewood back and sides [*]cutaway on the lower horn [*]unusual oval soundhole [*]Fishman pickup under the bridge (no volume or tone controls) with output jack in chrome tailpiece [*]white and black binding [/list] Really nice and unusual example of an early Martin acoustic bass. Fantastic condition apart from a small crack in the lacquer by the cutaway (you can see this in the picture). Comes with original hard shell case, plus a Martin leather strap, Martin polish and polishing cloths, original hang tag and spare set of bridge pins. Currently strung with Elixir strings. Lovely tone to this bass both acoustically and plugged in. It's quite loud as well. Aiming for [b]£800[/b] plus whatever shipping is needed. No low ball offers and no trades thanks.

dragonfly Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Gareth, I found you here while searching for other BC40's. Dave Scott here (825Janice) I cannot seem to contact you through e-bay. My '68 Telecaster Bass sale on e-bay ends tonight. I am still interested in your Acoustic Martin Bass. Which Alton do you live at ? I've found three so far. Please contact me on [email protected]. If you send me your telephone number I will call you back. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
