KSD 605 Jazz bass. Robbing myself £375. Tobacco sunburst - *SOLD* £450 Tunbridge Wells

[basscki]

This is my trusty KSD605 35 inch scale 5 string jazz type bass with an EBS preamp fitted by Bernie Goodfellow.

 

It was my main gigging bass for a few years but I am moving to shorter scale basses now due to a slight problem with my left hand.

 

Its in excellent condition with the only blemishes I can see being: slight headstock scratching, some bridge dirt/discolouration (which might well clean off), and a few fine surface scratches to the underside of the body that are only really visible in bright light.

 

The EBS preamp is vastly superior to the stock preamp they were fitted with. Controls are volume, balance, treble, bass, and mid frequency boost/cut.

It comes with a sturdy blue gig bag which is in good shape apart from some minor tears to the lining from where I left some strings protruding from the tuners.

 

I'd prefer collection or a meet up within a reasonable distance of Tunbridge Wells (or could meet central London near a mainline station like Charing Cross, London Bridge etc).  Postage an option if buyer arranges courier and takes responsibility once consigned. Prefer UK sale as I don't enjoy the customs overhead post Brexit.

Hi what is the weight ? Also string spacing at bridge ?

regards 

[basscki]

My bathroom scales (diff with/without bass in hand) say its about 10.5 lbs so no featherweight, but I'm quite slim build and I've never found it a problem for 2 hour gigs.

String spacing is 19 mm.

I used to own one of these with J-Retro preamp upgrade ,  not feather light but totally worth it!
