You Don't See This Everyday: Human Base "The Base" 6 String Singlecut. Video Inside!!

[Danny R.]

I got this bass last year and love it, but I might let it go for 2 reasons, I don't play 6 string basses and I'm playing my R-Basses all the time.
Human Base (Bass?) The Base. Ash body, Bubinga top, Maple neck and Ebony board. Delano pickups and I'm sure the preamp is a 3 band Glock. 100% made in Germany, flawless construction and sounds incredible! It really doesn't get better than this....

Asking $2499 plus actual shipping or best reasonable offer, will trade for a 5 string bass of the same caliber.

Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions!

I can't afford this -- especially now -- but let me vent my curiosity:

Does the little "corner" affect playing comfort in any way (for better or worse)?

How's the thumb cutaway/bowl on the back feel?

How's it hang on a strap?

Do chicks dig it?

It looks... solid. Pretty top, too.

[Danny R.]

Hi!
This bass might look "weird" but I assure you, it's very ergonomic and looks killers (the old pics and justice thing applies here). I can rest my arm on the "corner" and it feels great, it balances perfectly and the back of the neck feels great!
Chicks will want to go home with you when they see you playing this beast, no kidding!
I'm working on a video/sound clip! This bass sounds thunderous.

Sometimes all you can say is... WOW!!....bump

[groov'ster]

Great sound and great playing BTW...

I would think the preamp would be Glockenklang as that is the normal setup on HB's. Glock pre and Delano pickups maybe?

[Danny R.]

Thanks!

The pickups are Delano, but I'm not sure about the preamp but it sounds great! Here's a pic:

Looks like a glock.

[Danny R.]

Yep.
Looks like it. Too bad there's no logo or something. Thanks!

[BassBoss]

Human Bases uses Glockenklang, like in this beautiful bass!

[pyroponic]

What an epic instrument! Whoever ends up with that one is a very lucky dude

[Kevin Woods]

Siggi is building me a BaseX fretless 6, and he just let me know that he uses a Glockenklang pre that he personally worked on with Udo. That is for my one-pickup fretless, though...

Cheers.

You sound great on that beast...I say keep it...nice video.

[Danny R.]

I would but I just can't do 6 stringers, but I might start practicing my 6 string chops!
PMs replied!

Will add lots of cash for a neck thru Smith!

[Hankenstein]

What's the string length and string spacing? I have a Smith neck thru 5'er...

hmmm....

[Danny R.]

The scale is 34" and the string spacing is 18mm.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Danny.

Free bump for a great TBer.

[Johannes Oehl]

Very nice bass. Are you shure about the pickups being Delanos? Could be Häussels.

[Danny R.]

They are Delanos, that's what the casing says!
