Hanewinckel 5 String. 8lbs! Near Mint! Like MTD! Lower Price!

honest abe · #1 02-03-2012, 07:51 PM

I'm not saying it's better than an MTD but it's very similar in sound and quality to one and at this price it can't be beat! It's completely handmade and gorgeous to play and look at! It is in near mint condition and only weighs 8lbs! The 3 band Bartolini Electronics compliment the alder body and stunning birdseye maple fretboard. The pictures do not do it justice. The black metallic paint job is beautiful.

Here is a link to a short audio clip I made. The bass was recorded flat with no eq with the balance pan pot about 70/30% favoring the bridge pickup. Only light compression was added in mix.

Do you know what the string spacing is?

basstodave · #3 02-03-2012, 08:05 PM

34" or 35" scale length?

Bump for a great bass and a great TBr. Mr. H's basses are second to none, and this is a killer deal...

Nice bass. Especially a 34" 5 string. Bart's. Tempts me to go back to 5's.

For sure. Nice looking, Barts, 18mm spacing, 34" scale...a nice combination of all my favs. Wish I knew what it sounded like.

Apparently like an MTD?

I was thinking Sadowsky/Roscoe/MTD. 34" like a Sadowsky 5 and some MTD's, 18mm spacing like a Roscoe, Barts like a Roscoe, Cool body shape like MTD. Maybe I should get a 5'er again.

Dr. Cheese · #15 02-06-2012, 08:36 PM

This is a screaming good deal if you have the cash!

SteveC · #16 02-06-2012, 08:38 PM

This sucks. I need to get something. I have no bass. I am using a friends Geddy Lee which I like but it's heavy. I don't really use a B string that much, maybe once a month in church. Really tempting as it's a 34" scale 5 string, with Barts.

This is a TON of bass for the money. It's simple and classy looking and between pickup placement and preamp looks pretty versatile to me. You don't have to justify having a B string. I don't use it a ton either, but it's nice when I do. Or if you wanna string it E-C you could do that for chording and drop the E to D for lower notes.

I'm very tempted by this one myself.

SteveC · #18 02-06-2012, 09:53 PM

Thanks for doing the clip. Sounds nice. I'm gonna sleep on it and see how I feel in the morning.

I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it,

Bump for the most crazy BEM I've ever seen! And some pretty bad gas to go with it!
