Final Drop (£180): Kala Journeyman U-bass, fretted, with metal strings (roundwound). - *WITHDRAWN* £225 Barry, South Wales

[Marc S]

For sale (no trades please).

Collection from Barry

PRICE DROP: NOW £180

Final drop to £170

 

This Kala Journeyman ubass is strung with metal roundwound strings, rather than the usual rubber strings. (This is how this model is supplied). Which I prefer.

 

In really good condition, as I've hardly used it. It just came along with me to a few gigs, as an unused backup.

 

Really like this bass, but I bought an extra short scale Jabba bass, and I'm not using this Kala at all now.

 

Comes with a case, which isn't a hard case - but more padded / protective than many gigbags. No trades please as I need to thin the collection.

 

I'd prefer collection or a meet-up but if you want, you can arrange a courier.

Indeed. Hello 😀

Dropped to £180, without the spare strings I was originally including. 

This bass is in hardly used, mint condition.

Some more photos of this lovely little U-bass, which I can't believe hasn't sold!

It's mad that this hasn't sold.

Final price drop to £170 - or I may loan it, long-term to a mate....

Would you be interested in trades after this long time?

Not really - but might depend on what you're offering?

One thing that springs to mind, is an EHX Mel9 pedal.

I'd like to give this a new home Marc but, you're a good 8 hour return trip from me.

I can arrange a courier to collect if you'd be able to find something to pack it in and give me dimensions and weight of the package. Let me know if that sounds doable and we can negotiate. Cheers, Ron.

Hi Ron.

I'll have a look around, to see if I can find something suitable. It's compact & lightweight, and the gigbag / case is pretty good

 

However, protecting an acoustic instrument from being thrown around etc is my worry.

 

I recently ordered a freezer - just in time for Xmas.... but it arrived in a rather battered state! Pieces falling out everywhere! If they can destroy something mostly made of metal... you get my drift.

 

Anyhow, I'll have a scout around, see if I can find something suitable/ sturdy enough. It's a crying shame this isn't being used. If I hadn't acquired my beautifully made Jabba X-short scale, I'd have hung on to this.

 

Cheers
