Bass Centre Power Bass in Gold - Custom Ordered to Bruce Thomas Power Bass Spec - Precision Bass Copy This bass was a special order from The Bass Centre as a gold (you are gold.....aaaaaaaah!) version of their much loved Bruce Thomas Profile Bass. As SITE regulations were in full effect at the time of the order, a Macassar Ebony fingerboard was opted as a substitute for the Rosewood one that came with the Bruce Thomas model at the time. In addition, a matching gold headstock was ordered. This created a blessing in disguise in that the admittedly 'wanting' Bass Centre logo is not as visible as they opted for dark blue version. Unlike the Profile Bass, this one features a slightly flatter radius and a lightly oiled (back of the) neck which reminds me A LOT of Laklands in feel and aesthetics. In comparison to my Profile Bass, and this is likely a product of the ebony fingerboard, this is slightly more snappy proposition. It's offers more 'bite' than 'wooly' hugs on the sonic front. But, when you tame the tone pot down a bit, the woolly mammoth is returns and can be unleashed. It's a well balanced instrument. And it looks the part. More importantly, the playability is outstanding. This enjoyed a full fret level and set-up by Alberto Zioli and it plays like butter. Or margarine if that's your jam. This bass comes with a gig bag that is 'ok'. The bass that you'll be putting into the case, however, is outstanding. The instrument resides in East London. Collection is preferred although I can meet the new owner within the confines of the M25. In addition, I am happy to send the bass provided the buyer co-ordinates the courier.

This is simply one of the best P-Style basses that I have ever had to pleasure to play. The Bass Centre and Bruce Thomas really created something special here. The neck offers what I like to refer to as 'Goldilocks Realness' in that the neck profile (hence the name of the bass) is ideally situated between a Precision Bass and a Jazz Bass. This one is just under 41mm in width at the nut. As the original pickup (which sounded great) became microphonic, I replaced it and the guts with a much improved EMG Geezer Butler setup. In addition, and this is a 'quirk' for all the Profile Bass models - the original s/p forced the pickups to be misaligned. I got a replacement which addresses this issue and all the polepieces are where they should be. The bass balances beautifully and, more importantly, sounds incredible. There's a growl and grunt on tap that responds beautifully to touch. More photos will be added in due course. The frets are in great condition. The rosewood fingerboard is lovely (and is thick in the slab stakes). And the truss rod has only had to be adjusted twice since I took delivery of this bass in 2017. Collection would be ideal but I am happy to send this to a lucky new owner provided they co-ordinate the courier. In addition, I can meet within the confines of the M25. You can't say that I am not flexible. Currently strung with a well worn-in set of NYXLs (45-105). And it comes with a non-original but serviceable gig bag.

Here’s what the pedal it’s based on it sounds like
