So, after careful consideration I've decided to put this up for trade. It's an awesome bass that I will regret selling in 10 years time, however I really don't use this instrument in a band context and I need to have a good backup bass for my Conklin as I will be starting to gig pretty soon (band finally found a second guitarist we all like).

So, I am willing to trade this really awesome bass for another bass. Throw offers at me as anything can potentially be of interest.

Now, on to specs:

This bass comes with its original HS case.
Active electronics with piezo bridge/pickups (1x9V battery). Volume -- Tone -- Bass/High boost.
No dings, no scratches, bass is a 9.5/10, and not a 10 because it's 28 years old. Other than that, it looks brand new.
I had it setup by a local luthier (Patrice Blanc) who did a great job. The neck is straight, action is incredibly low, never played a bass with better intonation and sustain. If you want a smooth, laid back sound with that hi-end piezo sizzling grit, this is THE bass for you.

More pics, higher resolution for interested parties. We can work out any kind of trade, me adding $$$ or you depending on what you offer up for trade.

I will also trade this for a decent head amplifier, no tubes please, and it needs to pack some power (200W under 8 ohm min would be nice)

Don't hesitate to ask questions!

where is BMC.... :ninja::ninja:

Ok then, lets start this baby at 550 euros shipped in France, 25 euros in Europe, 75 for US/Canada, 100 anywhere else.

Do not make me put this bass on eBay :)

Hundred's of comedians out of work and you're willing to work for free.

a) If i didn't pick up a new Sadowsky this summer....
b) If I didn't pick up a Roland CB100 last week......

The only thing I can offer on trade would be four rims off a 1987 BMW 320i, a couple of pedals, a 100 watt Peavey power amp, an EBS pedal transformer, a Korg DT-10 tuner. I also have two snow tires off a Subaru Legacy with excellent tread.

I think that's a fair deal. You?

(BTW...you're an idiot for selling that bass. You'll never see one again. I have foolishly let a couple of one-of-a-kinds go. Hate to see someone else do it.)

Hehe, its a fair deal but not very interesting for me ;)

As a matter of fact I've seen one on french eBay, an '89 fretless all black. They are rare but if you hunt em down you find em ;)

What is the neck width? Closer to a Precision or a Jazz?

I would say precision. It might not be as thick as a P, but its definitely thicker than a J. If you tell me how to properly measure it, I can do that for ya.

Come on guys buy this bass you know you want it!!! Check out my feedback, PM the users who left it, make sure I'm legit, I've dealt with people on the other side of the pond with ZERO problems, if you are American, Canadian, Australian you CAN buy this bass, no discrimination in this thread! :D

What's the strings spacing at the bridge?

It seems to be 19mm at the bridge. Could be 18.5. If you're considering trading that '63 P you will have to add 500 euros. ;) :D

OK, thanks! Let me think a bit?! :eek:

lol, I'm just joking ;)

Due to bills having to be paid this is now on eBay, if anyone would like to buy it I can cancel the auction for a TBer, so let me know :)

Sold, thanks for looking
