Evening all
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.
New, I think would be some way over £2k now, but I am looking for
£1850 posted in the UK, and will ship it in a new Protec Contego case. Happy to ship overseas at your cost.
I'm also interested in trades plus cash to me as follows:
Epiphone Jack Casady in gold
Lakland Decade with active eq
Fender 51 P reissue butterscotch
Fender Standard P5
Fender PJ 4
Cheers
Gareth
