Veillette Paris Fretted 5 - $3000

[walbassist]

Hello

I've decided to see if there's any interest in my Veillette Paris fretted 5. This is a stunning bass which hasn't even been out of the house since I received it!



The spec:
Two piece poplar body with a radius top finished in a light tobacco burst
Maple neck
Pau Ferro fingerboard
Two Citron humbucking pickups
Aguilar OBP2 18v active preamp (volume, balance, passive treble and active bass)
Gotoh lightweight tuners
Hipshot "monorail"-style individual bridges

Weight is a shade over 10lbs, and it balances perfectly. Needless to say, it sounds wonderful, with a big fat tone that would be best suited for rock, blues or a soul kind of vibe. Played with a pick it's really slicing, and the tonal difference between the pickups is huge; the neck pickup does a lovely P bass thing on its own.

So why am I selling it? Well, I've been playing more and more fretless over the last few years, so much so that I don't see any point in having a large sum of money tied up in something I just don't play; my Veillette Archtop fretless is all I need.

Given that it is totally mint I am looking for USD3000 and will ship it in a new Protec Contego case. I would imagine shipping will be around USD160 for a basic service.

I would prefer payment by bank transfer.

Cheers

And don't worry about my lack of feedback here, I go by the same handle on eBay and basschat.co.uk with plenty of positive references accordingly.

Not sure how to delete the previous bump three months ago, so bumping. If a mod can advise how I delete it I will!

Price drop to $2500. How do I edit the original thread to reflect this price change?

I think there should be an Edit button. Perhaps you have to search for postings for your own username, click on the OP of this thread and you'll see an Edit button there.

Beautiful bass. That's a wild understatement! But well outside my budget. Good Luck with the edit, and the sale.
