Epiphone Century Archtop Acoustic Bass With Hofner Pickup And Case (30” scale hollowbody) £650 - *SOLD* £800 Beccles, Suffolk

[kristo]

I keep going back and forth on listing this but I could do with the funds so, therefore, up for sale is my Epiphone Masterbilt Century Deluxe archtop bass in great condition. There’s a few light marks where it has been gigged, but nothing of any note. I have had the original piezo pickup and preamp removed and had a luthier fit a German Hofner pickup along with volume and tone controls. The wiring, pots and jack is a pre made loom bought on here from KiOgon. The stock pickup wasn’t great and the Hofner is a massive improvement. I’ve gigged the bass in an old time style band and it has a lovely upright like sound. It’s currently fitted with D’addario Nylon Tapewounds, but I will also include some Labella Low Tension Flats that also sound great on it. The tuner buttons have been replaced by some Schaller M6 ones. I’ll also include a ABS hard case that fits it perfectly. £650. Possibly interested in a trade/part exchange for another short scale bass.......

 

Collection from Beccles, Suffolk much preferred but can post.

Say what you like but that's a proper f****** bass.

Just found some Labella Low Tension Flats that also sound great on this, so will include those too.

These are lovely basses, feel really well made. Best mod replacing the piezo with the neck pup, plus the nylons. Exactly what I had on mine.

Plus the hard case! That’s actually a great price for a quality, cool looking bass.
