Hi Greek. Yeah I am a member there too, there was a delay in revalidating my password but the Bass is there now in it's shining red glory! Have a nice weekend!

Hi all. Bump. Would consider a trade for an S2 or S2000 4 or 5 string or a Yamaha BBNE2. Or a decent fender jazz. Also am flexible ish on the price. If I'm not successful in selling her, then keeping her was mean to be and I'm ok with that too !

What's the string spacing?

[alexgrout_]

18mm. It's very easy to play. Not too close together but the neck is not chunky like on a lot of 5 Strings

[alexgrout_]

With the £ weak at the moment this is the time for the basschatters in Europe and USA to take advantage and buy this bass. It's 10% cheaper than it was when I originally posted it thanks to brexit!

[jacare]

Strings too far apart for me I'm afraid but someone will really enjoy this. Get your dollars out, guys! GLWTS.

Take on me was brilliant, well done!

(nice bass btw, too many strings for me)

[alexgrout_]

Thanks. Too many if you play 4. Too little if you play 6. :-)

Lots of interest but still for sale. Check out this video of it inaction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLfExSu02E4

Price drop to £2800

[alexgrout_]

Hi all. I can deliver for free 1 hour from Aylesbury or Brighton or anywhere en route between these 2 places.

[alexgrout_]

Hi all. It's now on eBay. If you are interested let me know

[TheGreek]

Was there no interest on eBay???

[alexgrout_]

Not yet. A few time wasters bidding with zero rating or no intention of buying. Drives me crazy. I've had the same problem with my MacBook

[alexgrout_]

Why have my pics been removed

[alexgrout_]

Bump. I've just got this baby out of her case and she is playing great. Amazing sound. Superb condition. And of course one of a kind.

[TheGreek]

I keep looking at this - not a big fan of red basses or fivers - would have been in like a ferret otherwise.

Deserves to sell - GLWTS

[alexgrout_]

I love red basses. Every bass I buy is red or I get it resprayed red. Red basses are the future

[Guest DarylClayton]

Nice

[alexgrout_]

I've taken some new photos. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0Y5aVbMKJJb70v

To be honest taking these now I am really still in love with this bass. It's absolutely gorgeous and with the new strings on it with 40 to 130 gauge it has some serious bottom end. This price is non negotiable if I don't sell it for this I am going to keep it
