HILS Next HNB5 Fanned Fret 5-string Bass with Artec 3-band preamp - £490.

 

I picked this bass up as a part exchange this week. Now set up beautifully and sounds fantastic. Very detailed, huge and punchy. Brand new Elixir 40-125 strings, low action with no buzz. Quite light weight, too.

 

Disclosure: The bass has been monkey'd around a bit by the previous owner, who swapped the original preamp for an Artec 3, leaving a slight crack in the finish under the G tuner and a filled hole that was drilled, but you have to look for it in order to notice it. The plus point being that noise-wise it's as quiet as a mouse and sounds huge.

 

Full disclosure: I gave £450 in P/X for this instrument and have added about £70 worth of new strings, so I'm not making anything here.

 

Comes complete with the very nice quality original HILS gig bag.

 

Buyer to collect, or I can meet you half way over a reasonable distance. 

 

As usual, interesting trades always considered. Worst I can say is, "No." :)
