Wilco Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) These are no longer made, but the Maverick brands reputation was for selling guitars & basses that punched well above their pricepoint. This is in virtually as new condition - original new price £599. Cheers, Wilco Edited May 28, 2011 by Wilco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I always loved those roller tone controls. I thought they'd have been more popular, unless they're patented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilco Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 A bump with some spec info:- Two piece American alder body AAA Indian rosewood fretboard One piece Canadian rock maple neck (with a nice grain pattern on the back!) Trim pot in the rear cavity for adjusting the pickup gain Action is very low with virtually no fretbuzz & there are no deadspots either. 'Tis genuinely a lot of bass for the dough.

Wilco Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) I've got GAS for a fellow bass chatters instrument that's up for sale, so i now need the green folding stuff asap. Here's a couple of opinions about this model from Harmony Central (note both buyers paid £550 & the first one did in Jan of this year).

Wilco Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 An "ooops, I've bought another bass without selling this one first" type bump. Will now chuck in a Planet Waves locking strap into the deal like this one:- [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/planet-waves-50pla04--55453"]http://www.dv247.com/guitars/planet-waves-50pla04--55453[/url] Noticed these S5's on Ebay & the sellers have set a buy it now of £450. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Maverick-F5-bass-guitar-/290567792702?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item43a730a83e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Maverick-F5-bass-gui...=item43a730a83e[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Maverick-S5-Bass-Guitar-/130523930850?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e63d520e2"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Maverick-S5-Bass-Gui...=item1e63d520e2[/url] I'll say it again, this is a brilliant price for this bass - a semi pro instrument for Squier money. Still open to sensible offers too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
