BOGART Blackstone 5 bass, made in Germany excellent technical conditions and very good cosmetics, avaible from private collection.
100% tested and working, with straight neck, working truss-rod, almost no fret wear, spuer low-action with no buzzing, silent electronics. strong tunining system.
The neck has a super flat and thin profile, with large string spacing (even thinner and flatter than Ibanez SR's, it's by far the flattest neck I have ever played). Tone is piano-like with incredible depth and sustain, especially Low B is as strong as on 35" scale basses.
Sound is close to Modulus Quantum with Bartolini electronics, with a slightly bigger and deeper low end.
Specs:
BODY:
The body consists of various composite materials and a core of spruce wood. The big advantage of this construction is the incredible resonance of the body over the entire frequency range.
NECK: SKC carbon neck, 24 frets long scale (34"), medium nickel silver frets, phenolic fingerboard. SlimFast version.
HARDWARE:
- Bartolini USA humbuckers
- Noll TCM-3 Preamp with active/passive push/pull and bass-middle-treble controls
- Hip shot tuners (can load both standard and dual-ball strings)

100% tested and working, fresh luthier set-up with new Sansone stainless steels strings, super low action and excellent playability. The neck is the optional SlimFast, is super thin and flat (like Ibanez Prestige but even slimmer!)The sound is very modern and punchy with extraordinary clarity and sustain. Compared to other graphite-neck basses (like Modulus) I would say that Bogart do sound more open and wide, the body brings out deeper lows and longer sustain. Very piano-like bass tone.
Cosmetically it is in very good conditions, with only light pain wear. Overall 8.5/10.
Fret inlays are stickers which can easily be removed if desired. Weight is about 4.2 kgs with great balance.
