FS: Human Base Roxy B5 - *SOLD* £750 Leeds

[castlemaine22]

Hi all, I'm selling my Human Base Roxy B5 to make space for an incoming Maruszczyk, so I need to free up some funds!

 

This is a lovely, resonant, and surprisingly versatile bass! The pickup switching and EQ is really powerful and it's pretty hard to get a bad sound. The low B is solid and strong. This is a pretty reluctant sale and will be sorely missed!

 

- Swamp Ash Body

- Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard

- 24 frets and 34" scale

- Nut width 45 mm

- Highly adjustable string spacing at the bridge (can go from just under 17mm to just over 19mm)

- Delano Xtender pickup

- Series/parallel/single coil switch

- Active Glockenklang 3-Band Preamp (treble knob is tone control in passive mode)

- zero-fret

- Gotoh 350 res-o-lite tuners

- 4kg (8.8 lbs) on my luggage scales with great balance seated or on a strap

 

The condition is pretty good, there are some minor scratches on the pickguard and a little buckle rash on the back, but it's hard to see due to the finish. Comes with a padded Human Base gig bag.

 

I'm looking for £750 inc. UK postage. Happy to drive up to an hour away from Leeds to meet a potential buyer.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Great basses. I'm with Luke  - the incoming may not match up ?

I’ve played this bass. I would be surprised if it does. I’m almost tempted to buy it just so @castlemaine22 can buy it back when he realises… (we live a mile or so from each other, I have him to the east and Scott Devine to the west - I am very obviously one of the worst bass players locally!)

Don't often get the urge to gush in public, but this is just so nice..  and at this price..

I don't need this, 😥 But have to say If Schack or Marleaux made this tomorrow, with this quality of wood and construction it would be £3000. Human basses are not as higher profile in UK but up there on quality.

Also my favourite bridge of all time. 😍

I played this at same time as Lakland USA, Sadowsky Metro, Atelier Z and some fancy expensive Dingwall thing. Until now I thought it would have cost more than those not-cheap basses.... surprised it's not!!
