£250 SX SWB1 Gloss Black 4 string active bass (upgraded MEC pickup and Warwick Rockbass preamp) £250 Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England

[dannyaustin]

I'm selling my SX 4 string SWB1 to make room for another purchase. I bought it new from www.rumc-ltd.co.uk.

I have upgraded the preamp (Warwick Rockbass 2 band) and replaced the single coil with an MEC pickup. It sounds great, and has a lot of tonal range on the preamp now. It plays well. It's extremely lightweight! 3.2kg. Original preamp and pickup included. I have changed the tuners and control nobs to black.

 

Happy to meet in Huddersfield or somewhere near. I've attached photos, a recording and a video. The video audio has clipped unfortunately, but the separate audio is ok. That's from a condenser mic next to my 12" blackstar cab (It's not great, so I'm sure whatever you have will sound better)

 

Video (sorry about the sound but at least you can see it playing. Please check out the audio recording for better quality sound.): https://youtu.be/4t-qIlODlkI

Damn!!!

 

I'm looking for a 5 string to convert to headless...I thought that I'd finally found one...

[dannyaustin]

Alas, it's a 4

I'm still really tempted by this!

Hay Graham, still available if you're interested. Let me know if you want some sound clips

Interested in the weight of these when you mention extremely lightweight-do you know the weight perchance?

Cheers

[dannyaustin]

Yep sure. I can get you a reading when I'm back home.

@Raslee 3.2kg

 

I'm not sure if that's considered very light or not but it's significantly lighter than my Spector and Warwick.

I feel the need to make a cheeky offer once I get paid...
