BSX Allegro EUB £1650 Barry

[Marc S]

For sale. These lovely basses are now £3k, and don't turn up 2nd hand very often. As they're now 3k, I have priced this to (hopefully) sell fairly quickly.

 

Great sounding EUB - I tend to refer to it as "electro-acoustic" because I'm sure the hollow body helps create that close to acoustic upright sound.

 

I bought this around 3 years ago, from bass direct (at £2k) and they described at as having hardly any use (the seller had bought it from them, and hadn't used it much, due to illness). So it's in great condition.

 

It is fitted with the original strings, which I believe are D'addario hybrid. I removed them in favour of Silver Slaps, and tried them briefly on another bass - so the silks look a bit worn, but honestly they have hardly been used.

 

Comes with really nicely padded gigbag, and attachment for resting against belly. But the stand in the picture is not included.

 

Absolutely no trades on this - I have already bought something else, and need to thin the herd.

 

I won't post - so collection from Barry, in South Wales- or I could meet within a reasonable distance. I have amp headphones and a battery amp for testing... but testing at my place is preferred. After Xmas - I have had enough of couriers... who managed to smash up a freezer!

For some reason, I can't seem to add more than one photo attachment at a time - so apologies, I'll add more in separate posts.

 

Controls are: Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass. Power for the electronics is via PP3 9v battery

The "hole" near the attachment arm, isn't a blemish.... it's for adjusting the neck angle. I should have mentioned in my first post, that the necks on these are removable, for packing down smaller for taking on tour / air transport etc.

 

But the beauty of the system is that you can finely adjust the neck angle to set up to your preference, and it's really quick & easy to do.

 

EDIT: The allen key tool for this, is obviously included in the sale.
