Hand built in Poland and very much resembling a Mayones and certainly of the same quality. MEC 2 band active with 2 x MM style MEC pickups.Has a big powerful sound well suited to rock. Recent strings (45-105 DR Sunbeams) and I will set the action however you like it. Bought from [member='Bassdude BE'] Price of [size=5]£295.00 [/size] if you pickup from Chorley Lancashire PR7 Shipping UK will be £25.00 Will be very well packed and will include an as new good quality Ritter Carry Bag. [b]More info here [url="http://tinyurl.com/n259nl9"]http://tinyurl.com/n259nl9[/url][/b] There are a few small marks to the body, the worst around the jack socket which do not detract from this stunning bass.

shemeckfrac Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 judging by the quality and sound of my Mayones BE4 (which in effect what Fame Baphomet is, and made by the same people) this is an awesome bass for this kind of money. Thinking of getting the fretless one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 This is not the kind of bass I would normally like but I really like this one GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosebass Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Back up for sale and still open to offers. The bass has been with Si [member='Geddys Nose'] so if you want an independent appraisal drop him a message. This is a quality instrument (think Warwick quality) Edited May 17, 2014 by Prosebass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddys nose Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Owned quite a few Warwicks and the build quality on this is as good as any, Add to that the Hardware and P/U's you be hard pressed to get a better value bass for the money. Wish I had £295 spare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrivan Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I would like to ask you about scratches. It is damage wood or just black painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosebass Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 The images show Paint loss around the jack Paint loss between the pup mount ears A dent in the body With the exception of the dent (which has no paint loss) the others could be touched up. I decided not to as they are of no real detriment to the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eloann Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 This is a true bargain for the asking price. I have a neck through Baphomet - lovely bass and the only non-Dingwall I'm keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
