ESP Ltd B205SM 5-string fretless bass - Gloucester £450 Gloucester, UK

[Witch Hazel]

i'm selling my fretless bass to fund an upgrade.  buy this bass and help me achieve a new bass day!

 

• 5-string, 34" scale, fretless (with front and side fret markings)
• ash body with spalted maple top
• nice thin neck (SR-style)
• jatoba fingerboard, 400mm radius, 45mm at the nut
• passive pickups with active preamp (3x tone control, volume, pickup balance), includes battery
• in excellent condition: never gigged, no cosmetic damage.
• no strap, no case
• fitted with nearly-new D'Addario XL Chrome flatwounds.  it's never been played with roundwounds.
• i've shimmed the neck slightly to improve (lower) the factory action.  it's not set up for "mwah" but could be if the action was lowered further.
• you're welcome to play it with my amp before taking it away.

 

£450 or reasonable offer.  collection only from Gloucester.  no trades.

 

thanks for looking!  any questions just ask.

Tempted,  I would need to flog a few things first. What's the width at the nut, and is it 34 or 35"?

 

Have a bump. 👍

hi Richard, it's 34" and 45mm at the nut.

Thanks.  I'll see how the finances are looking - and how much I'm honestly going to practice!

i borrowed the strings from this bass to put on another one, so this now has a set of nearly new D'Addario XL Chrome (45-132) flatwounds on.
