Sign in to disble this ad
Awesome Gary Willis signature fretless in excellent condition. I have had the bass for just over 3 years and it has never left my studio. It has the phenolic fingerboard which has absolutely no significant wear. The body is extremely light and resonant swamp ash. I do not own a digital scale, but I would estimate the bass to be around 7 lbs. It has a single bartolini pickup with a 2-band bartolini preamp. The tone is fat and growly with plenty of mwahhh. The neck is slim and fast. I am asking $1175 plus shipping. The bass comes with a carvin gigbag. |

I would consider a trade for a nice musicman 5-string fretless. |

Great bass - good luck with the sale!

What about a trade for a) a nice Musicman SUB5 (fretted) - similar to the Classic - w/ pickup coil switch (parallel/series/single-coil) and b) an Ibanez GWB35 - this bass's less expensive cousin? Your bass + $100 and get two?

| | | | If I did not already own a fretted 5-string musicman I would be very tempted by your offer. |

Many people get the impression that it's a simple, probably a tad dull looking bass.
Little do they know these are little gems in the 1k range.
The workmanship is top notch. It weighs next to nothing. It balances on your body just like it should. And the neck is the best I've ever played.
The finger-ramp is a fine invention, and it'll help you ALOT with your playing.
The neck is really thin. And I've felt so in love with it, that I'm going to use the same specs once I build a custom bass.
Oh, and I also have mine tuned from E to C. Has a string spacing for 16.5mm, so it's definitely suitable for you soloing ones too. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Riga LV | | | I've bought used Ibanez GWB1 in TKF about a year ago from a TB'er, and it has overcame all my expectations. It is light, well-balanced, the neck is thin, and the sound fits any mix. Gary is not only a wonderful teacher and the inventor of a ramp (now I am forced to have ramps on all of my basses), but also definitely has the luthier's vision!
Whatever "babies" I will own in future, GWB-1 is going to be the last one to let go (if I will at all). |

| | | | Would you please post some better (and bigger) pictures? Where are you located and considering this is your first sale attempt, who are you, basically what credentials do you bring to the table? How is payment expected? |
11-12-2010, 05:56 AM
| | | | I would be happy to email more and bigger pictures to anyone with serious interest. I live in Pittsburgh, PA and have been teaching bass guitar out of a school of music for over 15 years. I will be happy to provide references to the buyer. I will accept cashiers check or paypal. Hope this helps.

Have had some interesting offers but the bass is still available. You would be hard pressed to find one in better condition than this. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: Surface, Planet#3, Sol System | | | Sorry, I have eight basses and insufficient money right now, can't do anything until I sell the aforementioned SUB5 and either the Jazz24-V or GWB35.
Best of luck on selling it. |
