Bogart 5 string Blackstone - *SOLD* £1350 Norfolk

[E sharp]

I’ve had this bass for under 2 years, as a 50th present to myself, but I’m just not using it. 
 

Ordered from Stefan to my specs, but the pickup arrangement wasn’t quite what I specified. 
 

Sold all my gear to buy a few bits I really fancied, but this hasn’t been used, since I got the Dingwall and Modulus- they just suit what I do better. 
 

34” scale

Measuring 18mm at bridge

Measuring 50mm at zero fret

3 band Noll 9v pre-amp. Volume (pull passive), bass, treble, mid/freq stacked, blend, and toggle for LED’s on top edge. 

I was told that it could do with a set up- fret dress primarily. The truss rod couldn’t be accessed, so the end cap was drilled larger to enable this, and the cap end isn’t quite flush. 
 

Those few things annoyed me, as this is how it was sent to me. I’m in no hurry to sell, so if it doesn’t get the price, I’ll just stick it back in the cupboard, and get this sorted as and when, then probably start gigging with it on the function band deps. There’s a slight dark discolouration on the back of the neck (shown in the pictures)- could rub out. 
My scales are bust, but I think it’s sub 9lbs

 

Probably played by me no more than 20 times at rehearsals. 
 

The sound is awesome, but I prefer my other two basses. 
 

Selling, as I fancy an 5P style bass I’ve seen, or maybe the graphite Stingray 5. 
 

It cost me over 2K, but was less than 2.5K - I can’t remember the exact cost. After £1350 for it- as new apart from the little bits of stuff to do to it. 
 

I’m not geared up for shipping this , so it’ll be a meet up jobbie I reckon. 

Thanks for looking, and if you want anymore details, then drop me a message. 
 

Thanks.

Bump. 
I’ve had the fret dress done, and the top end string clamp is now pretty much flush, with a sliver of a gap. 
 

Price drop to £1200

Dropped off at BassBros the other week, and now it’s sold.
