Happy Jack Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) [left]For various reasons I now need to sell a few basses. This is a concept that I am struggling with, since normally I am buying rather than selling, and of course I don’t really want to sell anything at all.[/left] [left]Hmmmm. How to decide what goes and what stays?[/left] [left]Easy. Ask the market.[/left] [left]I’m listing eight basses, none of which I actually want to sell. Whatever goes first will go, and once I have raised the necessary dosh I will de-list the rest.[/left] [left]At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, I’m trying to raise money rather than trade basses.[/left] [left]I’m also well aware that money’s too tight to mention (damn! I mentioned it) so I won’t be offended by offers.[/left] [left]The basses are available to try and/or collect at my studio in Acton W3. I have no problem with posting them, but I always think it makes far more sense (along with being far more sociable) to come and try before you buy.[/left] [left]*************************[/left] [b]VEILLETTE Archtop Fretless 5 (2009)[/b] [left]34” scale maple neck with ebony board Gotoh ultralite tuners Spruce semi-hollow body with spruce archtop Harvey Citron magnetic pickup D-Tar Piezo pickup D-Tar Eclipse 18v preamp Ebony bridge and tailpiece Dunlop straplocks Access Stage Five gig bag Perfect balance 8.75lbs[/left] [left]La Bella Black Nylons[/left] [left]Protect Contego semi-rigid case[/left] [left]Utterly gorgeous tone, and utterly gorgeous to look at.
