RhysP Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Levinson Blade B4 super Jazz with the lawsuit headstock. Just like the one I used to have (only mine was purple). £400 is an absolute steal for one of these. If you're looking for a Jazz style bass for around the £400 mark you won't get better than this IMO. Awesome quality - ash body, rock maple neck & ebony fingerboard.

Happy Jack Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 That's no use, no use at all. Firstly, he claims it was his father's when it should obviously have been his uncle's. Secondly, there's no mention of an attic, cellar or woodshed anywhere. Meanwhile, I don't know much about Levinson Blades. What's special about them?

warwickhunt Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 The seller ended this listing earlier on today to relist it with a significantly higher 'starting' price of £400 (previously no reserve and a bid price that was sub £100). No guarantee you'd get this for £400 but by the same token, Blade are hardly a household name so this may well get snagged for the starting price!

jonny-lad Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 One of my guitar students has recently bought a Levinson Blade Telecaster and it really is a great guitar! Sounds and plays great, and I've read good reviews of Levinson Blades in the past aswell...I'd expect this to be a great bass. Of course, it's always wise to try before you buy though!

Excellent quality control and consistency too. They have been referred to in the past as "The European Sadowsky". I part exchanged my custom built Jaydee for one of these B4 basses at the bass centre in Wapping 20 years ago & never regretted it for a second. I'd still be playing it now if I hadn't started to find jazz profile necks too small. I've still got an old Levinson Blade Texas Standard Strat type guitar & that's bloody lovely as well; better than any Fender I've ever played.

I've always had a soft spot for those - especially before they (I think) changed the headstock shape from 'non-Fender' to 'even more non-Fender' Er, anyway... Basses... yes...

zbigniew Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Oh man, that's a lovely bass :wub: I have the B3 type from that time which is identical except for solid colour body (mine is yellowish white), other kind of bodywood and black hardware. It plays beautifully and sounds good too and I like the thick ebony fingerboard and fast neck very much. I recommend Levinson Blade to anyone regards, Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I tried the one they currently have at The Bass Merchant, and from someone who really doesn't get on with Active basses, this had a LOT of tone!. Beautiful neck to play as well. And looked great!! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
