MNY Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) My Alpher Cobia V2 Prime is available again after my recent trade didn’t proceed in the end. This is a very unique bass built by a highly regarded luthier. It has a high level of specification with Hipshot hardware used throughout, Nordstand Blade p/j pickups and a Dingwall four position selector switch.(Please see full spec below as supplied by Chris at Alpher. Current RRP for this bass is in the region of £3000 - £3500). The bass comes in a very sturdy Hiscox hard case with a special adjustment tool and some oil to treat the roasted maple neck. For a passive instrument the range of tones is wide and the weight is in the light range at 3.8 kg. It’s mint with no visible finish ‘dings’ and could be mistaken for new. Being a lover of Jazz style basses I would gladly accept a trade for something in this area providing the value is equivalent. I am also happy to accept a trade plus cash, or will be able to put a small amount towards the right instrument if the opportunity comes along. Also interested in Musicman and Sandberg basses. Please send any questions or offers via pm. Thank you. I am happy to ship at the buyers expense and risk but equally happy to meet somewhere to personally deliver the bass safely. (photo of the bass on scales provided kindly by Walshy). Cobia V2 34 inch scale 21 fret Nickel silver frets One piece rippled ash body Roasted maple neck, figured. Rocklite fingerboard Nordstrand PJ blade pickups Passive electronics (vol, 4 way, tone) Hipshot kickass bridge Hipshot ultralite tuners Worn black / white finish Black / aluminium layered pickguard Aluminium control plate If that bass was ordered again today it would be in the £3000-£3500 range depending on the exact pieces of wood chosen.

One or two interesting offers trade wise but not quite right based on what I am hoping for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNY Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I have decided to keep the bass and have some modifications made to it by Alpher. It seems to be the most sensible course of action as the build quality is exceptional, the weight is spot on and I am learning to live with the appearance. Thanks to all those who have posted or sent messages for their input. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
