SOLD Hanewinckel Arpeggio 7-string

My main ERB for years (and main bass in general for more than a few), played plenty of shows, but my back and shoulder can't take her weight anymore. Good condition, one dent on the upper edge just in front of the contour, scuff in clear near the jack and a pinprick on the lower horn. Outstanding build quality, wonderful playability, truss rods responsive, extremely clean & defined sounds without sacrificing fullness, has a thick piano tone thing happening in neck and middle positions and a bigger, polished modern J in the bridge. Excellent low B!

Slim 3-piece maple neck w/ 24-fret birdseye maple board, abalone side dots, 34" scale, previous owner said body was mahogany (though it looks and sounds more like bubinga to me, might be worth inquiring with the builder), Bart J-style pickups + Bart NS3TMB 18volt pre with 3-position mid freq selector, Vol - Vol - passive Tone + pickup selector 3-way, Hipshot Ultralites and A-bridge, spacing graduated from 18 down to a bit under 17. Weighs a bit over 10 lbs, balances well and easy reach to lower frets thanks to long upper horn and bridge position.

Nut width: 2 & 3/16"
12th fret: 3 & 5/16"
24th fret: 3 & 7/8"

Will discount to $1525 for local pickup.

Includes Hanewinckel-branded Protec padded bag AND I'll include a Levy's 4.5" Leather Strap w/ Dunlop Straplocks installed with purchase! MSS2-4-DBR Garment Leather Bass Guitar Strap - Levy's Leathers

Would consider quality lightweight (9 lbs tops) basses w/ ~19mm spacing in trade, open to cash either way if it's the right bass. Especially interested in 5-string Kinal, Alembic, Marleaux, Leduc, Eshenbaugh, Miura, Ibanez Affirma, Aquilina, Bordwell, fretlesses.

Thanks for looking, and feel free to hit me up with any questions!

 

Yep, though I have the C and F down a half step currently so I can play jazz guitar-style barre chords.

 

I've never had a single issue with tuning stability. I give the trussrods a small tweak once or twice a year, when the weather changes, but even then, the movement is fairly insignificant.

That sounds like a bass I'd be interested in. PM me more info, please!

 

Ah, thanks for the info. That's too heavy for me, unfortunately. I can't handle more than 9 and really should be going even lighter, which is the only reason I'm selling this one.

 

Would love a nice Fender Urge I plus some cash or Ric 4004 or a Kinal 5 or...?

 

This is as low as I can go shipped/Paypal'd. Still interested in trades, though!
