SOLD: Hagstrom Swede Short Scale (30") Bass with Gig bag £390 Maidstone, Kent

[Marvin_]

Very nice condition Hagstrom Swede bass, with a (not Hagstrom) gig bag. I've owned from new and it's a home-only instrument.

 

The beauty of this instrument (apart from the looks - if I could justify it as an ornament I'd be keeping it!) is how versatile it is. The basics are two humbuckers with a dedicated volume and tone each, Les Paul style. However, the tone knobs pop up to split to single coils, which can be done per-pickup. The upper switch allows a quick change between neck only, both and bridge only pickups, whilst the lower switch is a filter. The middle position is the bypass, whilst down is a high cut and up is a mid and high cut. This means you can get some classic, almost flat-wound tones from a set of roundwounds, at the flick of a switch. There's a great video on Youtube showing the tones available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8XvCUtJznc

 

It currently has a set of D'Addario XL roundwounds, and I'll include a set of strap locks to fit the fitted buttons (the originals will be included too).

 

Since I fitted some Aguilar pickups to my Ibanez EHB, the Hagstrom hasn't really had much of a look-in for what I generally play.

 

I don't have a box or case for this bass, so collection, or local (ish) delivery or a meet-up will be necessary. Gives you the chance to have a proper look over and make sure you're happy too.
