Born 2B Mild Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) I bought this new from PMT Leeds just before Christmas. I got it for a recording project. I put flats on to get a moody retro sound. However, the buyer can have wirewounds put back on if preferred. The project has evolved in to a different sound, one which I find my Indie 6 copes better with, hence this sale. The street prices for these new are typically in the £300 ball park, but I'll accept £200 + delivery. I love the passive range of sounds of this bass, plus the shallow D profiled neck is a joy to play.

I think Washburn do good basses at good prices. Unfortunately I can't trade on this, as effectively I already have ...by buying a six string Hohner that I am going to defret. I'm now out of pocket as a result, so a cash restoration is now needed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn something new every day [/quote] I have the Hohner B Bass V and love it - it has a narrow neck & I have a smallish hand, so suits me, Sir!!! I'll upgrade the electrics in the fullness of time - I'm negotiating an East U-Retro as we speak. Pity the Yammy has to be sold, as I only can trade at the moment. I quite fancy one of those & I like fivers. G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Is this the bass that ended on eBay in the last 24 hours? I was eyeing it up but it's too fat a bass for my skinny ass. Would be a great budget addition to anyone's collection I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
