Scott Whitley/Chowney SWB-1 short scale basses. All 3 NOW SOLD £325 Tewkesbury

[bobpalt]

All three basses are now sold thanks.

 

I have retired from playing so will be selling off all my stuff soon. For the last few years I have gigged exclusively with short scale basses and loved them all. The first three being very similar I have grouped them together into a single advert and hope I’ve done the right thing! 

All three of the basses are in mint condition, and have gig bags or cases, strap locks fitted and no marks or dings that I can find. Anyone that has bought from me in the past will know that I baby my gear.

The first one up is a fretless passive model, but included in the sale is the correct EMG pre amp, unused and boxed as fitted by Scott that you can pop in if you so desire. There is a Flightcase Warehouse Spider hardcase included that really is the badger. This bass is really light and easy to play, you may not want to fit the pre amp, it’s up to you.

The second bass is a totally mint Chowny SWB-1 made in India. I don’t think this has ever been played in anger, I certainly haven’t gigged it and it’s an active model finished in I think it’s sonic blue? This bass is heavier than the other two which gives it a bit of a different tone. It’s not a heavy bass, just heavier. Totally mint with a Fender Urban gig bag.

The third bass was my main gigging bass until I discovered the Fender Mustang p/j I changed to and it’s a beauty, one of Scott’s earlier basses. It’s active, very light and punchy and a joy to play. Nice wood, lovely neck and it’s original hardcase, again no marks I can find.

I thought £325 for each bass would be reasonable?

I have one, build quality is on a par with my USA G&Ls and Warwicks. If you like short scale basses these are absolute bargains. Big bonus, standard j pickup routes so mod to your choice if you need to.

Any offers? No trades sorry as I don't play any more.

Several people have asked me how much the fretted bass weighs, and the answer is precisely seven and a half pounds. The fretless is similar too.
