I need to buy a 5-string fretless bass, so with a heavy heart I'm putting up for sale my Bogart Bass Sport, made in Germany by Stefan Heß, the godfather of European carbon-fibre instrument manufacturing.
My bass features:
34” scale length
Bogart Sport composite body, finished in a solid matte colour with a carbon-fibre top
SKC carbon-fibre neck
Rosewood fingerboard
1 x Bartolini MM humbucker pickup with series/single-coil/parallel switching
Noll TCM2 preamp
ETS bridge
Hipshot tuners
D'Addario Flatwound Chromes strings
Switchable LED lighting along the edge of the fingerboard
A new bass in this configuration costs over €4,000 directly from the manufacturer! The base instrument alone costs €3,200.
My bass also includes the following optional extras:
Carbon-fibre top (€400)
Series/single-coil/parallel pickup selector (€40)
Overlapping LEDs along the fingerboard edge (€900)
The instrument is in very good condition. It is a professional-grade instrument, ready to play.
The electronics offer an incredibly wide range of tonal possibilities, from the classic 1980s MM Pino Palladino sound to modern, cutting-edge hi-tech tones.
