Azola Bugbass in Mint Condition--Reduced to $1000

Paul Mickey · #1 05-19-2007, 02:23 PM

I have owned an Azola Bugbass for five years and have used it no more than five times. It's a beautiful instrument, literally in mint condition and with a wonderful sound, but I find I resort either to my acoustic upright or an electric bass. At $1400, with the original case (also in mint condition), I think it's a steal. And I'm prepared to handle shipping. Will send pictures if you are interested. Thanks, Paul

It's a beautiful instrument, literally in mint condition and with a wonderful sound, no wear of any sort, original strings, great sound. Will sell for $1300, with the original case (also in mint condition), or a comparable best offer. And I'm prepared to handle shipping. Will send pictures if you are interested. Thanks, Paul

Is there a way you can post some mp3's of how this bass sounds;
ie, some major scales and blues scale(12 bar blues)?
thanks...

Mr. Ecko: just saw your posting. I have the bass in my office, as I almost shipped it out to a buyer, and I'm not sure just how I'll create the MP3 file, but I'm glad to try (perhaps built-in windows recording software on my Thinkpad)--but first, two thoughts. First, it's original strings (as they're truly not used), and it sounds like every well-built Azola of its era, so the Azola folks may have a sound file as well (I used to correspond with Jill when I bought it). Second, before I try to create one, are you seriously interested? I'm due to be traveling a good bit of this week and it will be a stretch' to make time to create a file, but I'll do so if you're genuinely thinking about the instrument. Thanks much, Paul pmickey@steptoe.com

If your Azola is anything like the one in the attached photograph, I may be interested

I'm not seriously interested, just curious? (trying to
decide between UB or EUB)
I checked the azola site and did not find any sound files.
To create a sound file in windows, just plug you bass
in to the mic jack and use windows sound recorder.
Use the save as option and choose windows media audio for the format.

Is your bass still available and if so would you be interested in a trade for a Lakland skyline 44-02 with cash?

His last visit on TB was on july 18.
Did you try email?
Unfortunately, there's nothing more I can do to help you reach him!

Best of luck!
François

Yeah, I received an email from him with a promise of pix but never heard back. This was a week ago.

I have owned an Azola Bugbass for five years and have used it no more than five times. It's a beautiful instrument, literally in mint condition and with a wonderful sound, no wear of any sort, original strings, great action. Will sell for $1100, with the original case (also in mint condition), or a comparable best offer. And I'm prepared to handle shipping. Will send pictures if you are interested. Thanks, Paul

I'm reducing the price on an Azola Bugbass I have owned for five years and have used no more than five times.

Will sell for $1000, with the original case (also in mint condition), or a comparable best offer. And I'm prepared to split the cost of shipping. Will send pictures if you are interested.
