Dean B Squared Bromberg / modded - *SOLD* £200 Witney , West Oxfordshire

[fleabag]

Dean B Squared  / B2  - no longer active with a piezo bridge.  Standard bridge and now passive  V V T T, with different knobs. Pickup selector.

Chrome knob does nothing as it's where the Piezo vol was.  Obviously can be re-activated with a normal preamp if desired, as the battery box is intact

Couple of small marks.  Original brass nut

 

Plays very well, truss is fine, frets are all level, no string buzz.

No hard case, collection only, or if anyone fancies arranging postage themselves, i can pack it well.

 

I have found a specialist guitar / instrument courier, and no need for a hard case for insurance. They're the only ones i know that do this

but they're not cheap £55 for a bass.

 

So i have no probs posting this and i will share the cost 50/50  so the bass will only be £227.50 posted

Don’t usually like anything that’s not P or J shape, but that’s gert pretty.

Wonder how that would be defretted…mmm.

It'll sing like a Lark, slap

You fancy another visit to chez fleabag  ?

I used to own this beauty!!

 

A truly amazing playing bass, and assuredly a lot more user friendly

minus the seriously souped up 18v preamp.. A Dean version of the Peavey B quad as used by bass luminary Brian Bromberg. In my humble opinion, 

much better..I have been fortunate enough to own both! £200 is an out and out bargain for this..

 

GLWTS😊👌

Always, young flea. 😊

Weighing up need v want….🫣

[fleabag]

Need  is always trumped by want, but you know this, Grasshopper

Been waiting for one of these to come up.

Do you have the original active circuit and control knobs, by any chance?

[fleabag]

I only have bits of the original preamp , sadly

Is the piezo still working? Extremely interested!

I think in the OP it’s pretty clear there’s no piezo

 

Still seems like a hell of a lot of very pretty bass for very little moolah.....👍

[biro]

You are right, misread! (Though I wonder if the piezo saddles are still there.)

Are you looking for a piezo, or a B2 specifically?

[biro]

I’d say both—always wanted a B2, and a bass with a piezo too (though I do have a Yamaha TRB5P).

Shame. These things sing with an active circuit and the piezo.

I'll keep on waiting.
