PLEASE LOCK - NOW AVAILABLE AT BASS DIRECT Elrick Gold Evolution 6-string FOR SALE £1800

[samuelcroberts]

For sale is my 2013 Elrick Gold Evolution 6-string. It is a beautiful looking, playing and sounding instrument and anyone who's had any experience with these will surely vouch for that. Also one of the lightest basses I've ever owned - an exceptionally lightweight 6-string.

The only reason I'm selling is that, unfortunately, I've had some elbow and wrist problems and the 35" scale and width of neck causes me physical pain Going to go back to 5ers and a 34" scale (amazing how much difference an inch makes!), so this has to be moved on. The bass has been gigged a lot, but it is in very good condition. There are a few little bumps, which I've pictured below - a few little marks around the input jack from cables and the odd ding on the bottom of the body and top of headstock. There are a few marks on the bridge as well form re-stringing etc..

The only modification is the addition of an ebony finger ramp, which matches the radius of the fingerboard (only attached with tape, so easy to remove). I also put a bit of electrical tape around some of the wires in the cavity to stop them moving around - no damage or anything in there and all functioning 100%.

These basses are $3500 new (between £2500-2700ish), so I'm asking for £1650! No trades please. The bass comes with an Elrick hard case (not pictured, but can dig out of the garage if desired!) and I'm based in Birmingham if you'd like to come and give it a blast. Can ship in the UK at buyers expense or perhaps meet in neutral territory if required. Feel free to ask if I've missed anything.

Thanks for looking!

Is it the Alembic you have for sale located in Bulgaria? It's a beautiful bass, but I'll have to say no I'm afraid. Because of the problems with my left wrist/elbow, I really need to try any bass I might trade for, so not really practical to get to Bulgaria. Sorry!

Thanks for the interest though Best of luck selling the Alembic!

Ok, thanks! Success with the sale.

Friday bump!

Bump

[samuelcroberts]

Bump. Also edited to read no trade offers please. There are a lot of tempting things around, but really need to order something quite specific!

[samuelcroberts]

Bump. Going to take this in to Bass Direct to sell next week if no action this week, so just a heads up if you want to make any offers.

Cheers!

[samuelcroberts]

Price drop to £1650. I am taking this down to Bass Direct on Tuesday for them to sell on my behalf, so if you want a good deal over the weekend, go for it!

Cheers!
