Gunsfreddy2003 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) I am making a major change to my bass set up and as part of this I am going to be selling all of my current basses. Left to right I have a Ken Smith Designs KSD 704 Proto-J with an upgraded EBS pre-amp on board, next is my faithful old Warwick Thumb Bass with a thru neck. I have owned this bass for the last 15 years and I think that it was built in 1990. It has seen some use (gigs/recording) but is in great condition for it's age. The Musicman Sterling is "under offer" from a fellow BC'er but not 100% sold just yet! The MM 'Ray is 1991 and fretless and in excellent condition all round. If you are interested in any of these basses the PM me and we can talk money and I can send more detailed pics of each bass.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi, Paid a visit to my local music shop last week and saw the guy who owns it who is a fountain of bass knowledge and he had advised that I should look at achieve about £1,300 for the Thumb and £600 for the Ken Smith. Hope that helps.

Sibob Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 My friend just picked up the 5'er version of the KSD with EBS pre for £600, very nice basses so have a bump! Also, might i suggest slightly amending the title of the thread, people might think you're selling a 'Bass Collection' brand bass! good luck Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 MB1. Bloody Hell!...i thought you were selling a Bass Collection Bass!......BUGGER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi Si, Good point - noted and actioned! I have had a few e-mails ref the basses and it looks like the guide prices given by the local shop may be a tad optimistic. Bottom line is that I need to shift these basses to get on to my next project so they do have to go. I am happy to talk "sensible" money with interested parties though.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 No you are right and she is one in a million. Sadly it is my lack of ability that has dented my confidence with the fretless! Yes you are right it is in amazing condition for the year - you must have looked after her well? Whoever buys it will be chuffed just as I was at Xmas!

Legion Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I keep reminding my girlfriend about buying me a nice bass - doesnt seem to be sinking in though That was a fast transition bass, I bought it at my stingray height where I had 4 Stingrays and realised things had gotten out of hand so it hardly got played before I thinned the collection. So I can't really take the credit for it's great condition J [quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='192865' date='May 6 2008, 12:51 PM']No you are right and she is one in a million.
