Jadenacre Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) TUNE BEB-6, 36 inches scale, rare real Japanese from the Kobe factory, so made before 1995 ! Asking price : £1075 GBP !!! In fully working condition and real good condition for such a rare bass that has never been modified. Here are the specifications : Body : 2 pieces ash Neck : 3 pieces (bolt-on) maple Fingerboard : maple Frets : 24 (perfect condition as they have been dressed) Headstock : 3 + 3 shape Pickups : Tune humbuckers Preamp : Tune 2 bands twin preamp (yes 2 different preamps voiced differently) Controls : volume (active/passive), blend, stacked bass and treble for the first preamp, stacked bass and treble for the second preamp, switch for selecting the preamps Tuners : Gotoh/Tune GB7 (3 + 3) with reversed mounted strings (so tuning à la original Fender) Bridge : Tune massive brass Strings spacing at bridge : 18 mm Nut : brass Strings spacing at nut : 9.5 mm Knobs : original metal Scale : 36" Hardware colour : natural aged gold Finish : light gloss Land of craftsmanship : Japan (Kobe) Serial number : non-existent on early Tune basses Weight : 4,6 kilos Action : from 1,5 mm under the C string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th fret Will come with a brand new soft case or a gig bag, up to you, or both of them. Non-smoking environment as usual. It has some marks, mainly above the neck pickup (thumb anchoring), at the rear and on the upper edge of the head. This bass is known to be the best 36 inches bass ever and you can trust this affirmation. With the two preamps, you can have a deep Motown sound and, simply by flicking a switch, engaging the second preamp for a tone à la Jaco. Certainly the most versatile bass you can find. Even Fodera owners consider this bass to have the best low B on the market. And its ergonomics is perfect. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has a new batteries, new output jack and has been fitted with a brand new set of DR Black Beauties BKB6-30 coated stainless steel wound strings (30 - 45 - 65 -85 -105 -125).

Look at the pictures taken under different lights to see the real condition : some few marks, due to the age, but nothing serious at all. Don't hesitate to ask for more.
