*NOW SOLD*

 

Picked this up from a seller in Poland while on tour in the summer. Got it home and it's a great bass, but the long scale just isn't working for me. 

 

Had it cleaned, serviced and restrung with D'Addario rounds just last month. Bass is in great condition. Only flaws are: small part of the head was chipped off (repaired); missing truss rod cover.

 

Happy to post this at the buyer's expense and open to reasonable offers! Also happy to meet somewhere near-ish to East or West Sussex. Comes with a beaten up soft case.

 

Here's the blurb...

 

BURNS London Bison BASS Reissue

 

This bass was a favourite among session musicians in the Sixties due to its long scale and wide variety of tones.

With all the same features as the original, the new Bison Bass is now used by many modern bands for live work and recording.

It delivers great distinctive vintage tone not heard on its American counterparts.

 

The WILD DOG and SPLIT SOUND settings are unbelievable.

 

Features include:

 

One tone control

One master volume

A/B pickup selector

Three Burns Nu-Sonic pickups

Wild Dog/Split Sound setting

Indonesian nato body

Bi-flex two way type truss rod

Neck binding

Scale length: 34" 22 frets

Bolt on hard-rock maple neck

40mm nut width

Classic polyester finish

Burns deluxe machine heads

Batwing original headstock

Burns deluxe bridge unit

Gold hardware

White body and neck

Sure thing.

Just told my partner "I'm not going to buy this, but isn't it beautiful".

 

She said "it is".

 

"You're feeding my GAS"

 

"You've got to be responsible for your own actions"

 

"But I'm irresponsible..."

 

 

 

Hmm...

🤣🤣🤣 Well, she's not wrong!

I should add that it sounds as good as it looks. Lots of tonal variety with those three pickups.
