TRADED.

Edits - updated offer, prices and trades*

I've closed out my previous thread since I couldn't modify the title to reflect what I was trying to do. I am putting up my Schecter Ultra, with a Guitar Research Bag (that fits it). Will include a SansAmp Bass Driver DI to sweetin the deal if necessary.

It's 2004/2005 Schecter Ultra Bass (Ultrabass) in perfect condition. This is one of the first models that has the inverted headstock and has a very retro look. Tone and feel are excellent. Great tone potential with the sansamp. Neck is straight and frets are in great shape. It has a thin, jazz type neck. All around a great bass. But I've really settled into Fenders. The Ultra has a different feel and tone than a Jazz.

These are now discontinued so I am struggling with the decision to let it go, but can't justify having more than 2 basses at this point and have really taken to Fender Jazz basses (especially the necks).

Price is $550 shipped for Ultra, SansAmp and Bag

$475 for the Ultra and Bag alone


Price is pretty firm. The bass went for about $650 new but are no longer available. I can't find any used ones.

Primary reason for the new ad and the price is that there is a Geddy and Jag available. Plus This bass is in excellent condition, new black beauties, bag, SansAmp DI and it's ultra rare. I've only seen 2 of these pop up on eBay and haven't seen any here.

The specs from MF:

The Schecter Ultra Bass has a body and headstock shape all its own-a retro modern vibe. Its neck has a fast feel and Ultra Access design gives free access to the top of the fingerboard. Mahogany body with thick center, set maple neck give it great resonance and tone, and EMG-Hz pickups with 2-band active EQing give it a strong, versatile voice. A really nice axe!

Schecter Ultra Bass Features:

* Mahogany body with raised center
* Set maple neck with Ultra Access
* 34" scale
* Rosewood fingerboard
* 22 jumbo frets
* EMG-Hz pickups
* Active 2-band EQ
* Master volume, blend, high tone, low tone controls

I would still consider a trade. As Far as Trades, I am looking at FENDER only:

+++ primarily interested in a Geddy.
+++ still love the jaguar
++ highway one jazz/P or CIJ Jazz/P
+ jazz/P deluxe (MIM)


Thanks.

Love the look of the basses, and very partial to Schecters. No need at all for the Sansamp though as I have both a Sansamp PSA, and Line6 X3 Live.

:-(


Sorry, I know that's no help to you.

I typically play a Schecter California Custom with a Sansamp. This would be an excellent, versatile setup for someone moving up from a starter bass to their first gigging bass. Good luck!

I've got a jaguar bass in black that I would trade with you. I am not interested in the sansamp ( I have one and use it as a door stop). I know the jaguar is worth more money but at this point I'd rather trade straight up then sell. The bass has the normal scratches on the body. At one point it had a darkstar pickup in it, and then a p-bass pickup in the neck. I still have the guards for it, and will send them with it. They are (tort). Let me know if you are interested and I can send you a pic. Oh by the way it has a jazz bass bridge cover on it too. It is probably not a collectors piece since I don't have the original guard or pickups anymore. I have many pickups I could put in it for you though.
I have a pair of White covered Kent Armstrong jazz bass pickups that came with my Rev. bass,
and a set of the SCN custom shop pickups, and a Rev. P-neck pick up,
and a Rio Grande Muy Grande for Jazz bass bridge pickup.
Let me know if you are interested.

OK. The question of tone has come up a few times. I think part of the issue with the Ultra is that it is so rare. Very few have seen one, let alone play one. The tone is very versatile. I've described the setup above. You can dial in warm tones without effect and can also get a p-bass like punch. The tone can get muddy with the bass too high and the treb to low. But this is true for most.

Also, it's lighter than my Fenders (current or previous). My scale is so bad I can't even use it.

Hope that helps.

I work at Grandma's Music and Sound in Albuquerque NM. I used to stock the Ultra bass but never bought one. I am interested if the trade does not go through.
