NOW TRADED

Up for grabs is my Prometeus Concertogrosso.

This only came to me recently, after nearly 3 months of trying my best to get my hands on it. I'm in a state of bass flux at the moment since selling my Roscoe, and floating from instrument to instrument. I had a great feeling about this one, and whilst it ticks many of the boxes for me - it's very small, very light and extremely well balanced - it's neck profile is not to my preference (I like very slim and flat... Something that not many basses do), and so I'm going to move it on to continue my quest!

This was the prototype for the Concertogrosso model line. Like all Prometeus basses, it was hand built in Italy. It's been well played, but is in good cosmetic condition with just light marks throughout (a few on the back which are almost invisible thanks to the grain, and some marks where the picking finger has been rested etc). Here is the spec...

Prometeus Concertogrosso Prototype
30" Scale
Flamed Ash body
Flamed Ash neck (set neck)
Padouk fretboard
Wenge Top
Volume & Passive Tone
Custom Alnico5 Pickup - 8 coils (2 per string) all wired in series, for high output. It's a passive bass with the output of an active bass!
2-way truss rod
Warwick hardware.

The Concertogrosso line is well suited for higher turnings and Piccolo setups etc, but is happy to be tuned E-G (it currently is) so long as the strings are not too heavy. Access to the upper register is excellent and the bass plays fast. Tonally speaking the passive tone control really shifts between two core tones, both are very usable, one with a touch of sparkle - this bass has a MEAN slap tone - and one slightly warmed and more 'old school'. It has enough versatility to sit in most live band mixes. The bass fits happily in a regular guitar case, and a good quality leather case is included.

I am asking [s]£480 collected[/s] NOW TRADED!! I will ship overseas at your cost.

TRADES: I may be interested in trades so long as the bass does not say Fender on it, or resemble a J or P! Try me. I may also be interested in trading up towards something worth more, and adding cash into the deal (particularly if it's 32-33" scale or slim necked - but I'll consider anything) up to about £1000 in value. Get in touch!!!
Will also consider trades/part-ex for synths, particularly a Moog SubPhatty. And trades towards pedals and effects.
