Hellzero Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Thinning down the herd, so selling the basses I don't use. FOR SALE OR (PARTIAL) TRADE BASED ON THE NEW RETAIL PRICE (€2000 EUROS) : Quite rare ESH Impact 6 with new Bassculture pickups, new Haz Labs Smith/Fodera Clone preamp, new Schaller 2000 bridge and new Hipshot Licensed tuners. The specifications : Body : mahogany Neck : bolt-on 5 pieces of European hard rock maple with 2 stripes of ebony Fretboard : European hard rock maple Headstock : ash veneer Tuners : Hipshot Licensed Frets : 24 Leduc sweet profile Trussrod : 1 fully working Bridge : Schaller 2000 Pickups : 2 Bassculture humbuckers wired in parallel with birdseyes maple covers (made to measure for me by Christoph Dolf in July 2018) Preamp : Haz Labs Smith/Fodera Clone (18 Volts) with volume, blend, mids (800 Hz for that slap tone you are searching for years), stacked bass and treble Strings spacing at bridge : 17 mm Strings spacing at maple nut : 8,5 mm Action at 12th fret : from 1,5 mm under the C to 2 mm under the B Scale : 34 inches Finish : satin including fretboard à la Fender Weight : 5 kilos Case : Gewa Bass Case ABS Premium (Hiscox like) Year : 2005 (The last one made in Trier, ordered by a friend of mine) Strings : LaBella Super Steps SS45-CB (29-128) Todays price for a "similar" bass as Esh don't make 6 strings basses anymore : €2000 Euros ! The bass has been fully revised and set up last year by Christophe LEDUC who put some new frets and made his differential frets dressing, so it's ready for the next 20 years. Non smoking environment, as usual. Asking price is £999 GBP due to the rarity and very good condition of this bass. The upgrades made have turned this original early years Esh bass into a great sounding all maple neck bass (no sound compression, which is quite rare for this type of neck, due to the perfect fretting), very versatile thanks to the pickups and the terrific 3 bands preamp (beware as there is a gain control inside turning anti clockwise and there can be loads of gain). I'm the second owner of this bass and have made all the upgrades as it was deserving it. Some links : http://esh-bass.com/ http://www.labella.com/products/ss45-b-super-steps-5-string-standard-45-128/ https://www.bassculture.de/ The pictures to see the real condition (under different lights), which shows only some little wear with a few dings and scratches, a mark at the rear of the neck, some scratches on the back plate, one neck screw not routed deep enough and one trace of paint at the heel of the neck, all in all nothing serious : Edited September 15, 2018 by Hellzero Pictures corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
