samuelcroberts Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) [s]£1000[/s] [s][b] £875[/b][/s][b] £800[/b] Clover Avenger 5-string fretless bass for sale. I've owned this bass for nearly 10 years and it's a lovely instrument. It's not getting the use it deserves anymore, so it's time for it find a new home. I bought this bass from Sounds Great in Manchester about 10 years ago (honestly can't quite remember exactly...) as a fretted instrument and had it converted to fretless by Jaydee guitars in Birmingham about 5 years ago. This is the slightly older model Avenger with a solid walnut body, as opposed to the walnut tops used on the new ones. Not sure when production changed, but I know that this is certainly a one piece walnut body. Specifics: - 34"-ish scale (slightly longer than 34" due to the fretless conversion) - 24 position ebony fingerboard - 20" radius - maple neck with satin finish - one piece walnut body - gloss finish - Delano pickups (3x JSBC-HE) - 9v Delano preamp: 3 band EQ, blend control, master vol. with pull switch for passive mode, 3-way mini toggle for parallel/single coil/series wiring & pickup selection, 2-way toggle boost (I believe this is a mid boost, but I've honestly never used it!) - Clover bridge - Gotoh tuners (originals were rubbish and broke!) - strung with Thomastik flats I have never actually seen another fretless Clover Avenger anywhere. Only other one I could find is a random photo on Google. This is an unusual instrument that plays and sounds beautiful. A real workhorse with a wide range of modern and classic sounds. I've used this bass on countless gigs and sessions and it has never, ever let me down. It has had a couple of dings on the top of the headstock (see photos) and there are some scratches on the pick guard (mainly from my DIY, MDF finger ramps, which you're welcome to have by the way...) but this instrument has been well maintained over the years. Very clean, very solid and an all around top instrument. Comes with a generic 'Gear for Music' hard case I have lying around. Happy to throw in an old Ritter gig bag if you'd prefer. Looking for £800. Will consider trades/part ex but only good quality things please. Possibly tempted by a nice P bass, but cash is king. Based in Birmingham, you're welcome to come and give it a blast! Can post at buyers expensive if requested. Cheers!

Just a tad of reverb because headphones plus no reverb sucks! Clips go single coil with front bridge pu, single coil with back bridge pu, then humbucker/single coil neck mode (always bridge pu, both then neck pu). Have tried to keep playing as consistent as possible through the different settings, but it's midnight and I'm tired...[/size][/font][/color] [attachment=221382:IMG_20160612_193906.jpg] [attachment=221383:IMG_20160612_193923.jpg] [attachment=221384:IMG_20160612_194010.jpg] [attachment=221385:IMG_20160612_194029.jpg] [attachment=221386:IMG_20160612_194130.jpg] [attachment=221387:IMG_20160612_194146.jpg] [attachment=221388:IMG_20160612_194221.jpg] [attachment=221389:IMG_20160612_194236.jpg] [attachment=221390:IMG_20160612_194258.jpg] [attachment=221391:IMG_20160612_194339.jpg] Edited July 16, 2016 by samuelcroberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
