Epiphone

Epiphone Masterbilt DeLuxe Century Bass

$850.00 

I'm selling my acoustic arch top bass guitar. These are rare now as they were built for only a few years. It comes with the rugged beautiful OHSC that was an option at purchase. It is in great condition. The original strap button was moved (plugged) and placed on the treble side of neck heel by the previous owner ala acoustic guitar, they balance far better like this. There is a small piece of plastic that broke out of a tuner (no impact, just came off). It causes no issues and the tuner works perfectly. These are no longer made but I've discovered acoustic style fretted basses are not to my liking. I believe this one is a 1st year 2017, but I’m not positive. The preamp volume-tone dials are just inside the treble side F-hole. The epi nano flex preamp requires a 9 volt battery. Electronics work well but IMO requires a mute under the tailpiece where the strings connect for optimum volume w/o feedback. I've swapped out the original nano-flex piezo under saddle copper strip (junk) for an Artec PG417 Transducer Ceramic Piezo Pickup, and get slightly better response w/ less scratchy trebly piezo tone. The trick w/ this bass is to barely turn the bass volume up because they are notorious for feedback caused by the preamp, and set the tone mid position. That's how I have it set in the video. The nano-flex active system is IMO simply too powerful. I've also cleaned all the electronics properly w/ contact cleaner and canned air. The D'addario tape wound strings were replaced by me w/ fuller sounding LaBella's. The factory setup was greatly improved by me since I bought it and the bass plays easily. The last pic is just a neck scratch I think could be easily buffed out, looks worse than it is due to the enhanced photo. I will include the original strings in the case.
