Sorry I don't speak German - the bass is in Poland, but I often ship to Germany (the bass comes with a hardcase).
----------
I'm selling this absolutely stunning semi-hollow Epiphone Zenith fretless bass from 2009.
Widely considered to be the most impressive of XXI-century Epiphones, these are extremely rare and sought after as they were manufactured only for a very short time - being expensive due to the high-end technology and materials used, they didn't really fit into the company's strategy.
Apart from an elegantly-shaped, acoustically chambered mahogany body with a bright flamed maple top, Zenith stands out for its unique custom-made NanoFlex/NanoMag pickup combination which can be used in mono or stereo modes and provides countless bass tones. It doesn't take much effort to get an upright sound - or as close to an upright sound as possible for a fretless bass.
The D-shaped, satin neck is rather slim and very comfortable with good access to the highest notes. It must be noted though that Zenith is a big boy - it weighs in c. 5kg (over 10lbs) and is simply quite massive. It's actually the main reason I'm selling it - I love how it's made (incredibly well - just look at the bridge or the binding!) and sounds but I'm a small guy and kinda look like I was playing an upright (Peter Steele style... minus Peter Steele
).
The bass has not been played a lot and is in perfect condition - there are no dings or cracks, just some minimal superficial scratches. The fret(less?)board has very little wear. Neck is perfectly straight with nice action.
The thumbrest is detachable.
The bass comes with a hardcase, thick leather strap and straplocks. it's stringed with black flatwound labels.
