Musicman 25th Anniversary HSS 5 String Bass - *SOLD* £1795 Upper Norwood, London UK

[lapolpora]

A beautiful example of the 25th Anniversary Ernie Ball Musicman 5 string - ash body with mahogany tone block, flame maple top in red burst with matching headstock. A fantastic array of tones available from the switchable pickup configuration and 4 band preamp. Can be used in passive mode too.
 

It’s in excellent condition with only some faint scuffs around the belt buckle area on the rear of the bass. These are only noticeable when you’re looking for them and are very difficult to photograph! Maple neck with satin finish, and frets are in excellent shape. It comes with it’s Musicman 25th Anniversary case. At 11lbs/ 4.9kg it’s not a super light bass, but is perfectly balanced. 34” scale length. Can courier at cost. More pics on request. Any questions please ask!

Thanks BC!

Hmmm...trades.  I'm after a sale ideally. But I might be tempted by the right Dingwall 5/6 string.

The one at the back does the Ejector Seat. Not sure how the others are configured but there's Machine Guns, Oil Slick and Bulletproof Screen.

These are truly great basses. I've sold my 4 string Reflex HH last year and regretted it ever since. Fortunately I could replace it last April with a near minty  'eye popping' 25th anniversary H. 😎

Good luck with the sale

Thanks Duckman! It is a fantastic instrument, and incredibly versatile. If it doesn't sell before the point where I don't need the money anymore, I wouldn't be upset about keeping it in the herd!
