Safran Hollow Body Single Cut Fretless 4 #04-2015 - *SOLD* £2200 Etalle, Belgium

[Hellzero]

As I can't reach the tuners anymore without having great pain in my left shoulder, I'm selling this really amazing Safran Hollow Body Single Cut Fretless 4 #04-2015.

 

 

This bass is in very good condition with some playing marks, dings and dongs as the finish is shellac (look at the photos).

 

It is really lightweight at only 3.540 kilos as photographed.

 

Look at this amazing looking master grade flamed katalox top!

TRADES ARE WELCOME, BUT KEEP THE NEW PRICE IN MIND, WHICH IS A BIT MORE THAN €4000 EUR, PLUS THE WAITING TIME!

NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE !


Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €2550 Euros (£2200 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!!


Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible and included in my asking price, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC (I've done it the other way round for this bass and it cost me an arm and leg).

Will be delivered in a superb Gator ProGo Ultimate Series gigbag.

Non-smoking environment as usual.
 

 

The bass has been fully set up professionally.

 

 

It has received a brand new set of Elixir Nanoweb 14077 nickel plated steel strings (45 - 65 - 85 - 105), which really serve this bass (that said the Dogal Jonas Hellborg 172 flat wound strings sounded amazing on this bass).

 

 

What you see is what you get !

 

 

Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is very good with usual wear.

Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use.

 

 

I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

 

 

Don't hesitate to ask for more.
