Sire Marcus Milled V5/24 Fret-5 string with John East Preamp - *SOLD* £450 Chester le Street

[Paddy777]

Sire V5-24 5 string fitted with John East J Tone preamp (with passive tone control). Has been professionally setup and frets dressed etc and plays absolutely beautifully - and the

John East preamp turns the bass from a 7/10 to a 9.5/10 in an instant, sounds really good

 

I was considering keeping the preamp and selling the bass passive as it came stock, as it’s an amazing preamp but I think it turns this bass into an absolute monster, and so I’ll just let someone else have it like it is - and it really is a hell of a bass

 

Red with roasted maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with block inlays

 

There’s a small chip out the paintwork by the bridge Pickup (pictured) where I tried to fit new pickups but they were too big (pro tip - DONT try and “squeeze” them in, pickups and basses are not malleable 😆) Apart from that it’s as new

 

i can ship it for £25, no trades (well, probably - you never know) I’m only selling this as I’ve got the chance of buying a very specific Fender Jazz Deluxe V which is a bass I’ve been after for a long while, and so I’m very reluctantly having to let this go. I may withdraw it if I manage to raise the funds elsewhere

 

These are £599 new and the John East Preamp is £180, plus it’s had good money spent on it having it setup properly etc - I really think it’s fantastic value for money
