FS/FT: Meridian Aural II 5 Ovangkol/Pau Amarelo (EU Based!) £1395 Ghent, Belgium

[Bassdude BE]

Up for sale is this beautiful Meridian Aural II custom 5-string.

Price in €: 1595

 

The bass has some small blemishes as shown in the pictures

 

The two indents you see on the neck in the last picture are on the bottom side of the neck (when playing) and you don't even touch them when you play, so I can't point out enough that all the markings you see in the pictures are just aesthetical and have no impact on the playability, sound and feel of the instrument.

 

The bass feels, sounds and plays as amazing as it looks and the pre-amp upgrade (Customized Gregory Preamp GPB-3M)* opened up the already huge variation of killer tones this bass has to offer even more.

 

The flat and wide profile neck is super easy to play and the neck is stable as can be.

 

All in all a great player, with a tone to die for and I'm very reluctant to let this one go, but some financial setbacks are forcing me to sell some gear... 😥
