Tanglewood Premier Series TW155-A Electro-Acoustic Bass

Description

Up for sale is a fantastic Tanglewood TW155-A / BASS from the highly-regarded Premier Series. This is a big, beautiful Super Jumbo body acoustic bass that delivers a rich, warm, and genuinely loud acoustic tone—unlike smaller acoustic basses, this one can actually be heard when jamming unplugged with acoustic guitars.
It is also fully equipped for gigging or recording, featuring the factory-fitted B-Band A3T active preamp with a built-in digital tuner and 2-band EQ.
Condition & Key Features:
The Body: Excellent condition. No scratches, cracks, or dings noticed anywhere on the satin finish body, spruce top, or mahogany back and sides.
The Electronics: 100% fully operational. The B-Band pickup system, EQ knobs, and integrated tuner display work perfectly.
The Hardware: Just fitted with a brand-new set of high-quality chrome die-cast tuning keys/machined heads, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability.
Cosmetic Flaws: The body is remarkably clean, but there are some minor, purely cosmetic defects on the headstock. Specifically, there are a few small lacquer/finish chips along the top left and bottom left edges of the headstock face, and some minor surface scratching around the tuning posts from past string changes (all clearly visible in the photos). These are entirely cosmetic and do not affect the wood or structural integrity.
Included Extras:
Tom & Will Matching Gigbag: Included in the sale is a highly robust, heavily padded, and excellent quality Tom & Will gigbag. It fits the jumbo body perfectly and offers great protection with strong backpack straps and storage pockets.
Specification Summary:
Shape: Super Jumbo Cutaway
Top: Solid AA Sitka Spruce
Back & Sides: Mahogany
Fingerboard: Rosewood with gorgeous Abalone diamond inlays
Preamp: B-Band A3T (Active with built-in tuner)
Collection & Demo:
Price: I paid about £400 for it over 10 years ago without the gig bag, so I think in this shape £250 is a very reasonable price to pay.
Location: Chessington
Collection preferred. I am offering this as a collection preferred item so that you can try it out before you buy and also I could not find a box big enough to fit it.
Can deliver within a 5-7 mile radius of Chessington, or anywhere directly along the main commuter routes between Chessington, Bisley, and Woking.
