Fender Steve Bailey fretless six / BC Rich Widow five

[alexbib]

2 Basses. As far as I know, I'm the only one currently selling either of these on the internet... In the unlikely event that the same person would like to buy both basses, I could lower the total price by about 200 USD.


I'm in Montreal for those who could meet me in person half-way. I'm willing to drive a bit south of the border if you're in north-east USA. Obviously I'm also willing to drive a few hours into Ontario or eastern Quebec.


1) Fender Steve Bailey Fretless

6 strings, ebony fretless fingerboard (compound radius), unlined, 34" scale, 19mm +-0.5mm string spacing, graphite reinforced neck, 18V electronics, with Fender hardcase

This bass is excellent, but not The One for me.

I'd like to trade for a different high end fretless, 5 or 6 (or more!) strings. My main requirement is hyper-low action with no buzz.

I'd also consider selling for around 2000 USD




2) BC Rich Widow

5 strings, neck-through, 35", ebony fretboard, 24 jumbo frets,
2 P pickups, active trebble and bass

Looking for around 550 USD.

Out of curiosity, what are the controls on the Fender?

Vol, vol, stacked bass / treble boost / cut?

[alexbib]

It's volume, pickup balance, stacked bass/treble, mute switch. The mute switch is actually useful. Keeps me from having to turn the amp off/on when unplugging the cord, and it's also pretty handy when doing a set-up.

BBB (Bump for the Bailey Bass).

I am dying to slam on that sucker.

Would you please rate the thickness of the fingerboard. Did Fender actually put a thick and juicy slab of ebony on this axe?

There's about 6mm thick of ebony in the middle of the fingerboard, tapering down to 4mm at the edge near the nut, and 3mm at the edge at the 24th fret.

A few more trades I'd be interested in for the Fender:

Yamaha TRB6JP2
Modulus Q6

Maybe a touchstyle instrument (chapman stick, warr, mobius, etc.)

Or maybe even an electric upright bass.

I'd also be interested in trading the Widow for a mid-end 6 string. Let me know what you've got.

is that a made in Korea Widow?
the widow looks stunning... why do u want to trade it.. just my curious i guess...

[Kelly Coyle]

I'm bumping the Bailey because it's awesome. But if I tried to trade my Warr for it, I'd have to sell my Mouse -- kinda complicated, and I'm not sure I'd want to do that anyway. When you sell it, you can buy my Warr.

[John Webb]

Is the SRB obsolete? I don't see it on the Fender website.

[alexbib]

Alright guys, I haven't been around lately, but I'm back. The basses are still available.

The Widow is made in Korea, yes.

Hello Alexbib,
I have a 6 string fretless warwick thumb bolt-on 1998 model. Wenge body/neck with a "tiger stripe ebony" fingerboard. I'm potentially interested in trading for the Bailey 6 string. Any interest???
