Members jsonnenblick Posted February 11, 2010 Members Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hi all - I have a very interesting 4-string with Barts, a 2-band EQ, and a 2TEK bridge. I got it years ago in a trade with Guitar Villa, where the story was that the bass had been there on consignment from the builder, but then the builder went out of business. I am thinking of selling. This is a unique instrument, for sure, but with great features, great playability, and a great modern sound. FWIW, I would characterize the bass's tone as sort of an Alembic/Warwick hybrid, but with more midrange than either of those. Any info anyone might have about the bass's possible origin, history, or value would be very much appreciated, BTW. Thanks - Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris.gotfunk Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 You got this from the Bass-Villa back in like 1998 or so didn't you? If so, I remember this bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jsonnenblick Posted February 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 Yes, you're right. But I got it in maybe 2004-05. I know they had owned it for a really long time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris.gotfunk Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 That's cool!!! This is a killer bass. I was up there around 1997-1998 and played that bass. Then, hanging right next to it was this little PJ bass with a stupid butterfly on the headstock. I had no idea what it was, but it had a $2,500 price tag and I thought "this must be a killer bass". Anyway, this thing reminded of that Fodera to this day. That is a cool bass man. You don't see them around at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jsonnenblick Posted February 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Still available. The only partial trades I'd want would be the right lenses for a Nikon digital SLR camera. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
