Paul S Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) I have a Hohner B Bass in black. You could consider this to be a headed version of 'the Jack' or a headed, full-bodied version of the B2A. These are active/passive basses with 2 pickups - controls are 2 x vol and 1 concentric bass/treble boost/cut. Switchable to passive via a toggle switch - red LED glows when active. Immense output, very loud bass. It has a through neck, 24 frets, 40mm wide at the nut. Bridge is the Steinberger licensed jobbie with the knurled adjusters (even though it has a head) and a drop D detuner. A surprising array of sounds are possible, including a decent woody P-bass tone. Weighs around 9lbs. Lovely to play, I gigged with it a couple of times and it cut through really nicely. But I have too many basses and this is the one that has to go. Lovely thing, in really nice condition except a/ the battery compartment lid is missing. It actually fits in really tight and hasn't moved since I put one in but, for neatness, I guess it might be better with one. a/ the active/passive switch was starting to get a bit flaky. Basschatter jabba the gut was kind enough to send me a replacement from his bits draw, but when I opened her up to do the transplant I found a squirt of cleaner was all that was needed. But I will include the switch in case it is needed - JTG doesn't want it back. So I have valued it accordingly. I reckon these are significantly better than most Squier basses, yet secondhand go for about the same. I would like to trade it - anything like the following J. East J. Retro Sansamp Programable DI or VT Bass Deluxe Electro-acoustic or acoustic guitar But am open to sensible suggestions? I would also sell it for £150 plus postage.

mally2112 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi Any idea on postage costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I would reckon £15 should cover it. I have a scruffy but servicable hard case it can go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mally2112 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Cheers Would the case be included or would you want it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'd include it. Not the greatest thing in the world but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm already cutting my legs off with this, so I'd rather take £165 including postage and hard case, to be honest. Bank transfer or PayPal if you cover fees. Send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
