Amfisound Hellbass

http://www.fretspot.com/in-stock-now/amfisound-hellbass-6-string-bass-sub-octave-ea-strings-one-of-a-kind-handmade-in-finland/

I promise you that you’ve never experienced anything quite like this before! Amfisound is a small workshop in Finland that makes all of their guitars and basses by hand. The workmanship is top notch, as are the materials. But what really sets the bass apart is the dual scale length, and the tuning options.
Essentially the concept is to have a four string bass with a 32″ scale – this makes it very easy to play, and all of the notes are punchy and full sounding with the shorter scale. Then, you have two strings that are a 36″ scale. These are designed to go all the way down to Low E and Low A – an octave below the normal E & A strings! You can also tune them up to any other pitch you like as well.
The wait time is about 10-12 months and sells for $8000 brand new. Skip the wait and get this amazing bass now at a huge savings!

NEW FBass BN5 5-String Bass Guitar Ash/Maple Brownburst Gloss finish, FBass Gig Bag

http://www.fretspot.com/in-stock-now/new-fbass-bn5-5-string-bass-guitar-ashmaple-brownburst-npf-fbass-gig-bag/

This is a BRAND NEW F Bass BN5 in a brown burst gloss finish. 34.5″ scale, maple fingerboard, and sounds AMAZING!
Comes with a great FBass Gigbag! Weighs only 9lbs 11oz.

Feel free to contact me if you have a trade in, or would like to work out a special deal!

This bass produces a thick rich sound reminiscent of a good vintage tone with a sweet rather than harsh high end; however, retaining the ability to cut through a mix. The addition of the very natural sounding preamp allows for variability towards more modern sounds. The two separate volumes allow you to blend the two pickups in any amount of each, not limiting you to the fixed levels of a blend control. The passive tone control functions whether in passive or active mode enabling it to modify a different set of frequencies than the ones affected by the active tone controls. These fretted basses are well balanced standing or sitting and are a joy to play.

“M” Bass Bass Clef Inlay, Yin Yang AWESOME!

http://www.fretspot.com/?p=4047

This sexy beast is a recent trade, and it is really cool! If it was a 5-string, I’d keep it for myself! But since it’s not, you can have a crack at it. :D

It has a Claro Walnut top with a Maple bass clef inlay. The neck is maple, with a birdseye maple fingerboard. And the body is a gorgeous piece of Mahogany.

The pick ups are M Bass hand wound custom pickups made by Jon Maghini. Sports an Aguilar OBP3 18V preamp, and this baby is hot!

There is a slight ding in the middle of the back of the neck (see pictures).

Includes a FLIGHT CASE – so she is ready to travel the world! :D
