Bassdude BE Posted September 28 Posted September 28 (edited) Up for sale is this beautiful Meridian Aural II custom 5-string. ** Sorry, I realised I was an idiot for selling this so cheap as I would have to at least spend double to get anything that's even remotetely as good as this one, so I decided to keep it. 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... 😥 Body: Ovangkol/Pau Amarelo/Ovangkol Neck: Pau Amarelo with AAAA maple strip Fretboard: Phenolic resin 24 frets 16" radius (This looks, feels and sounds like a thick slab of ebony) Bridge: Babicz Tuners: Gotoh Pickups: neck – Delano JSBC5 (HE/M2), bridge – Bartolini Soapbar (P25CBC-T) (*) Preamp: Upgraded to customized Gregory Preamp (GPB-3M) with volume (Push/Pull active-pasive), pickup selector, passive tone (Push/Pull Bridge Coiltap), Mid, Bass-Treble stack and mid frequency selector 400/600/800 Hz. Due to the preamp changes also pot covers has been changed to metal black. Original Meridian Trinity preamp as well as orginal pot covers are included. When ordering a new Meridian Aural II today, it would cost you between 4000 and 5000 Euros depending on the specifications. The bass comes with the (perfect fit) hardcase shown in the pictures. The bass will be safely packed, double boxxed, with plenty of padding to ensure safe shipping. Pickup and testing is possible in Ghent, Belgium. Interested in partial trades with: - A cheaper bass +cash adjustment (no 35" scale or 6strings please) - FMC 114 EX HP cab - Damnation Audio MBD-2/MBD-3 Greets&Grooves! Edited Thursday at 00:49 by Bassdude BE decide to keep it as this kind of quality is hard to find these days 4
itu Posted September 28 Posted September 28 At the moment I am moving and Cash and Hope is gone. But to inform others, could you please tell us: - string spacing at the bridge? - scale length? - weight? 1

But to inform others, could you please tell us: - string spacing at the bridge? - scale length? - weight? Sure! - 34" scale - 19mm spacing at the bridge - No idea of the weight at the moment, so I'll have to weigh it when I get home, but for now I can say that the bass feels very well balanced on a strap. 😉 Kind regards, Don 1
