Price drop - £400

 

Had this for a long time but had little opportunity to use it in the bands I've played in over the years so its pretty much as I bought it (sometime in the 90s?) apart from the addition of lined frets.

A trawl of the internet provides some additional information about provenance and construction that I believe to be correct. Mazeti basses were manufactured in Korea in the 1990's. The body and neck are mainly walnut and maple, with solid walnut wings and with maple and mahogany through neck and ebony fretboard.

The black hardware seems to be of decent quality.  Controls are active/passive switch (currently working as a kill switch - see below), volume and tone controls, and 3 band active tone control.

It's a 35 inch scale, currently strung with round wounds.  My bathroom scales are not very precise but on the basis of weighing with and without holding the bass I'd say it weighs between 8 and 9 pounds. 

Condition is excellent.  Only defects/blemishes are a slight dent below neck pickup as indicated by my finger in one photo, and the battery powering the preamp runs down even when unplugged.  I suspect the latter requires a minor fix to the jack socket? The price reflects the likely cost of getting that fixed.  When I've played around on it I've been perfectly happy with the passive sound so had no incentive to fix it.

There's no case or gig bag but I can package it up robustly if the buyer organises collection and insurance.  Alternatively a socially distanced pickup or meet up within a reasonable distance of Tunbridge Wells could be arranged.

what is the string spacing? :) and how is the action?

Spacing is 16.75mm, action is pretty low already and could probably go lower although I'm happy with it the way it is
