1300 € shipping included. (Madrid , Spain)

The bass conserves its original electronics , with EMG pickups. It's in great shape considering it's 25 yrs. old, the previous owner had it as a studio bass and I purchased it 4 years ago to study with. If sanded down a little, body and neck could recover complete smoothness like mint condition. I actually like the feel of the different woods on the back of the neck and how they've matured with time. There's a small nick behind the 7th fret from a fall it must have taken long ago, nothing important though. I've got the action low, neck and frets are fine, no buzzing. Sadly I have back problems and need to find an ultralight instrument so this beast isn't for me.... I just hope I can find something with similar tone... on the looks department nothing comes close ! it's a beautiful handcrafted instrument. She's a beauty that rocks ! 8:

Gorgeous bass!
On the first 5 or 7 pics, i asked myself: "does the guy play it, or isn't he aware that bass are meant to wear strings?" :lol:

:lol: the temptation of just hanging it up in a picture frame "naked" like a venus is pretty big... I oiled her up for the photo shoot before dressing her with jazzy flatwounds.
 
I'm open to trades.
searching for a lightweight 5 or 6 string . Marleaux, sadowsky, dingwall, or equivalent
 
I'm getting lots of interesting trade offers. Will decide soon !! Thanks to everyone !
 
I'm afraid I won't be trading anymore ! Have got to sell. I'm buying a Zon VB4 vinny from the Bassic.ch forum to replace my thumb ! (What a difference in weight that's gonna be... a mere 3 kg the VB 4). I just hope I get used to the size difference.... I'm gonna miss my fifth string !

BTW, guys how do I edit my first post so I can change the original price there to 1300€? I cant find the option anywhere and I'm logged in correctly ! It seems as though I only get the option to edit my latest post. thanx for your help !
 
Hi there...looks to me you succeeded in changing the price to 1300,00 :lol:

Still a beautiful bass...

I think the moderators preffered to edit it for me instead of my opening a new threadw ith the price drop... but, there is a small mess up, it's supposed to be shipping not included. Whatever ! :roll:
