Got this recently in trade. MINT condition. Really really cool bass, but I'm cutting down.

edit: As in, everything is going to go.

It's an ash-maple bass with jazz pickups, so that's the general character. Aguilar OBP-3 is known to work really well with single coils & this bass is no exception. Very good playability.

If you like jazz tones and sixes, or would like to try sixes, this is a good bass. Easier to play than most sixes and the tones make it easy to have a working tone across the strings unlike with more finicky basses.

Actually, here's this exact bass being demoed when it was brand new. [url="https://youtu.be/ou4fRXKYTfg"]https://youtu.be/ou4fRXKYTfg[/url]

This is my old bass... An excellent instrument. Being predominantly a 6/7 string player this is one of the lightest 6 strings I've played with no sacrifice to depth and tone. De Gier makes some exceptional basses and this is one of his best.

[HazBeen]

Very nice indeed! Sander does not make many Elevations nowadays, workmanship and quality of materials he uses is up there with the best.

GLWTS Vile.

[nobodysprefect]

It's all the usual suspects showing up in my for sale threads!

Yeah, this is a great bass. It's such a shame I didn't land this 3 years ago.

[bootleg]

Getting back into playing 6 string so pleased to see them appearing for sale. GLWTS.

Bump for a fantastic seller and a gorgeous bass!

bump for a price cut.

[harrybgoode]

Bump... I'll keep an eye over this wonder. I'm a proud owner of one of the coolest instrument Sander has ever made and I'm fascinated by the world of six strings...

[nobodysprefect]

Yeah, he seems to be a really good builder.

I don't say this often, but this is a bass that is up to the standards of Ken Lawrence or Fodera in craftsmanship and execution. The video demo sounds like there's a low end CUT going on. Gonna need to record a short clip of my own.

Any interest in trading for something you know and perhaps regret with a Norwegian name ?

PM'ed.
