Matte_black Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Hello! Since I'm in the market for an amp I thought I could try posting out of my affiliates forum to give BCers a chance for a nice swap... I'm looking for a good combo, a good cab, a tube preamp... drop me a line and let me know what you have. What I'd like to give away in trade is an ex-demo bass built by me some months ago... I prefer 30" scale, fretless and 4 strings so it doesn't fit my style. The body shape is the "Swan" - 35" scale, 21 frets 5 strings. Completely made of Padouk with Bois de Rose fingerboard and Barts CB pickup. A very nice bass with a warm and punchy sound. Very good LowB. The new price for a 5er is €850 but since this one is an ex-demo it's worth less. I can ship the bass as is or defret it if the new owner wants me to do it... I bet it would be a good fretless too. I'm interested in pretty much everything "amp-wise" ... some examples: Ashdown or Hartke cabs/heads/combos, studio mic preamps (Avalon U5, Focusrite etc.), Behringer EP1500 or 2500+something else... straight trades preferred.

Matte_black Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 A straight sale is ok too and I'll try to make a nice price for BCers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgordonfreeman Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi, Would you be interested in a trade for an EBS Fafner. It's a 95 model, gives 500w @ 2 ohms. It's in reasonable condition cosmetically but needs a good service. Cheers, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte_black Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 It's a nice amp for sure! Why does it need to be serviced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it need to be serviced?[/quote] There's just annoying hum/buzz coming from it and the sound seems to break up kinda easily and I'm too lazy to bring it to an amp tech. I don't use it either an it just sits in my room. Plus I have a Shuttle MAX 12.0 on the way in february. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsharko Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I have a Laney RB7 Im not using if youre interested in that. My cat has scratched the crap out of the coating but other than that its in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte_black Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanx for the offer but unfortunately I've never been a huge Laney fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 what a wonderfully unique bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Indeed, not quite my cup of tea, but good luck with the sale mate, brand awareness and all that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte_black Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanx for the kind comments, guys I hope you all will take a look at myspace. I have lots of different body shapes. Not everybody's cup of tea but I'm going to create a couple of "traditional" body shapes soon. One will be my personal view of a 2009 J-bass (but with set-neck and "heel-less" construction - like all of my other basses). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matte_black Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanx, I'm glad you like it. I'm building two of them in 30" scale, both fretless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matte_black Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Maybe but frankly I really don't know how much it's worth Oh, I'll post a short video clip of the bass tomorrow. It sounds very good, a sort of bridge between a Precision and a Warwick Edited January 2, 2009 by Matte_black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte_black Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) A short clip... it had video too but mediacoder decided it wasn't good As usual the bass has been played in flat without equalizer. Only a DI, power amp and a PA cab and the audio has been acquired thru a camera.

Matte_black Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm probably going to put the bass on eBay, it really needs a new home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
