Post by: eos35mm on March 04, 2018, 03:15:57 PM
Hi All, I am going to be putting up the SS Ser2 bass guitar up for sale.  It was posted some years ago and has been sitting in its case.
I will also be putting up my Ken Smith BT6 3 switch and Burner Classic 5 string.

I believe he lives is Toronto, as per the old thread. If so, Cocobolo will require CITES paperwork for international shipping.

Hi Jazzyvee,

I am in Toronto. My computer is broken so for now I am stuck communicating on a phone and tablet.

I think I replied to All who inquired. I will take some photos with my camera and figure a way to post go the site.

Some of you may know the history. Brief history... The bass was originally fretless. When I bought it I had Alembic convert it to fretted. I also had them add side LEDs and a dimmer. The fretboard has not markings on it.  Alembic sent me 2 new pickups because we found that one was a bit faulty. The bass has been sitting in it's case for years. When I got the bass from Alembic I wrapped the body in plastic so it would not scratched. The last time I checked it sounded ok..When I take the photos I will check to see that everything is ok.

Thanks Joe, you have been a great help thanks for posting these  photos

All...
These are some photos that I took with my phone...
There are 3 small blemishes on the back plate near 3 screw holes. The finish is smooth, no bubbling so it looks like tarnish or oxidation not sure.  The compartment is tightly packed so you will see that there are some finger smudges on the inside upper area of the controls back plate caused when I was getting the plate in place to take a photo.  Dislike opening the back.
As you csn see in the photos ....The inside of battery plate, battery compartment, control back plate and control compartment are all clean.

He is looking into selling it locally to avoid all the CITES paperwork and delays. He also knows how much it is worth.

Hi pierreyves, it's winter up here so not much bright sunlight more overcast but I will see what I can get. There is also a  photo of it on the club's site...you can see the photo that Mica sent me after they were finished with the work that I mentioned. Are you looking to purchase? If I remember correctly you are in Europe correct?

I checked the bass last weekend there are no noisy post, no humming, switches and controls work,  the bass sounds as it did when I replaced the pickups.
There was some sun today so I took some photos for those who wanted sunny photos unfortunately they have to be downsized before I can post them. My PC is still not fixed so as soon as I get the photos downsized I will post them. If I  am having issues getting them downsized I will email a few originals to the members who emailed me requesting photos.

Pierreyyves.
The plates are quite secure.
The bass came like that from Alembic, if you are curious about the missing screws you can ask Mica.
Are you interested in purchasing the bass or counting screws?

Sent an email message within the forum applet.
The forum messaging is actually not functioning. Unfortunately there is no way to hide the option, so sorry if there is any confusion.
Well, it appears the messaging icon visible to regular members does work, and allows you to send a regular email to another member from within the forum. Please note that your own email address is then visible to the addressee. Again, sorry if there is any confusion. :)
