Hi,
I'm selling/trading most of my bassgear (See my other adds for my Eich T900, FMC 114EX HP cab & Doc Loyd compressor) due to a recent endorsement deal and me switching to Baritone guitar for a new project.
Meridian Aural II
This bass has been built around 2016 by Italian Luthier Davide Cardone with a great boutique craftsmanship.
Meridian is an Italian brand well-established in European bass instrument circles that takes a customized approach,
using selected woods and out-of-the-box design. (Current pricing for an Aural II is around 4500Euro)
This bass offers wide tonal range extraordinary sustain as well as unusual appearance.
It has been played a lot over the years and the bass had some minor signs of use, but was recently completely restored to it's former glory and I've added several high quality upgrades in the process.
The whole bass was sanded down to the bare wood (up to 2000grit!) and then refinished with multiple layers of gunstock oil.
The tuners were replaced with brand new Gotoh res-o-lites.
The faulty pre-amp was replaced by a buffered Master volume + V/T + V/T circuit,
this gives you all the ease of a dual Volume/Tone layout, but with the added advantage of the Bartolini AGDB/918-2 Dual Channel Adjustable Gain Buffer
preventing the two circuits of interfering with eachother whilst keeping the signal clear and consistent.
All the parts used (Poti's, jack, …) are top of the line and even the new potti-knobs are from Gotoh.
The mini toggle switches the Bartolini bridge pickup between parallel/top single coil/series wiring.
The stainles steel frets are in perfect condition.
The bass was completely restored and upgraded in December 2025 (more than 50hours went into this)
, so the overall condition is like brand new.
The bass is set-up with a very nice playing, low action and is currently equipped with a fresh set of Fender 9050L flats on the EADG strings and a nicely matched d'Addario XL nickel roundwound .130 Bstring.
This hybrid set gives you extreme flexibility and a smooth treblle respons on the higher strings whilst keeping the Low B tight and defined. Both tone, tension and volume are evenly matched between the strings and you really gotta play it to realise how good this combination sounds.
specs:
Scale: 34"
Body: Ovangkol/Pau Amarelo/Ovangkol
Neck: Pau Amarelo with AAAA maple strip
Fretboard: Ebonol, 24 stainless steel frets with 16" radius
Pickups: neck – Delano JSBC5 (HE/M2), bridge – Bartolini Soapbar (P25CBC-T)
Controls: Bartolini AGDB/918-2 Dual Channel Adjustable Gain Buffer wired with master volume + V/T for each pickup + three way switch for the bridge pickup (coils in parallel/single coil/series)
Tuners: Botoh Res-o-lites (NEW!)
Bridge: Babicz (19mm spacing)
New price for these basses is around 4500€ and I personally have >2.500€ invested in it with all the upgrades and then I'm not even taking all the work that went into this into account,
so an asking price of +-1895€ for an instrument of this quality seems more than fair.
The bass comes with a brand new, simple, but sturdy Thomann gigbag.
Trades I'm interested in:
- Small bass-amp for testing basses in my atelier (Fender rumble 15, Ampeg rocket 8", Markbass micro amp, PJB double four,...)
- Zoom Q2n/Q8n video/audio recorder
- Somewhat decent laptop suitable for recording/editing music (my current dedicated music laptop has become very old and is simply too slow)
- Damnation Audio MBD-2/MBD-3
- Black arts toneworks quantum mystic/DOD Boneshaker
- Easy to use looper pedal with quantization. Not the single footswitch type! (Sheeran looper+, Boss RC500,..)
- Alvarez ABT60/ABT60E/ABT60CE-8/AEBT70CE acoustic baritone guitar
- Hagstrom Viking Baritone guitar
- Eminence swamp thang speaker
- Tube amp for guitar, either a compact head or a 12" combo (needs to have enough bass handling/headroom to deal with the low end of my baritone guitars)
As always I will ship everything safely packed from Ghent, Belgium.
Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.
