Citron AE5 (Acoustic-Electric Bass)

[Jumamoro]

THE BASS I AVAILABLE AGAIN FOR EITHER SALE OR TRADE. SEND YOUR OFFERS. Sorry if I didn't answer your pm before, I got lots of them. Please send it again.

This great bass is the best acoustic electric bass that I have ever tried. The reason I am letting it go is just because I am planing to order a 6 string version of the same bass. It was custom built for me a couple of years ago. It is a real piece of art. This is a very versatile bass, it has the Steve Swallow sound if you use a pick and the piezo pickup; you can get a very nice upright-like sound with finger style with piezo pickup and you can also get the sound of a solid body bass with the magnetic pickups.













Since I am very careful with all my basses this one is in perfect condition, looks just the same way it looked when I bought it.

These are the specs: 2-1/2" thick body, 34" scale, 17.5mm string spacing at the bridge and 2 humbuckers with active EQ, blend (magnetic pickups/piezo), blend between magnetic pickups, stacked sweepable mid boost/cut (magnetic pickups), treble/bass boost/cut (magnetic pickups), treble/bass boost/cut (piezo), X-braced top.

Trades I would be interested:

Ken Smith 6 string
Roscoe 6 string
Vintage Fender
Zon 6 strings
Fodera
Pedulla hexabuzz

I am opened to any other trade, so if you have something in mind please let me know. I would like to stay in the 34" scale and 18mm string spacing or less at the bridge (except for the vintage Fender of course) I am more interested in 6 string basses, but I would take 5 or 4 string if it is the right bass

Too many pms with buying offers so, I guess I will have to put a price on it. $5,000 plus shipping. I won't sell international, but I might trade.

Thanks for looking.

That is gorgeous! They had one like this at Bass NW a year-ish ago that I wish I could have tried. Is the top stained spruce or something else?

[PeterChampagne]

I had a 35" 5er - Swallow plays a 36"

Some of the best basses made. If you still have it on Monday I'd love to come by to check it out. I'm in NH for a gig all weekend but will be playing at Wally's Monday night. Could stop in before that. I do have a Ristola 6 string you could check out. Not sure I could part with it in trade but you never know!

I played that bass and was extremely impressed with the playability and wide range of great sounds. If it had been a 4 I'da bought it.

I know Harvey Citron well - he makes the finest instruments. There are very few of these out there and it is rare to see one come to market - I've played a couple - each is amazing. Grab it!!!

If only the spacing was a little wider!

I was wondering if/when I'd ever see a Citron on offer here. That day has come. Nice.

Is it strung with a low b or high c?

[portraitoftracy]

Looks like a high C from the pics, unless it is a crazy slinky G string.
