I second that on all counts. Sods law I've just bought an Oly one yesterday

The twin of my old faithful, great basses and Brian is a great bloke to deal with!

It's always a pleasure when people are grateful...

The day has finally come to pass this on as I'm ready for a change. Made in the Custom Shop at Dingwall is this beautiful bass that's around 5 years old. In exceptional condition, no dings and only the finest of marks on the back which can only be seen by holding up to the light (I don't wear an exposed belt when playing). They may well polish out. Currently strung with D'Addario coated strings but have to say that I liked it better with flats. Tone fusion electronics, Wenge fretboard and tortoiseshell pick guard. Weighs in at a shade over 7lbs. Collection from here in Belper (15 minutes from J28 of the M1. Negotiable on meet-up.

Hi. I'll take this if you still have it please!

Rest assured that any changes that Graham ( early adopter and pioneer of the 5 string!) has made will have been well executed/ well thought out and will have improved on the original bass. As ever, very fairly priced...I got great use out of the G&L I bought from Graham prior to switching to short scale, GLWTS

Oh my.... I've wet myself.

Something I was putting together as a backup but ended up with something else…… Slab Precision 66 type body. The paint is thin and not the best finish but not embarrassing. I didn’t paint it, it was like that when I bought it from here. It’s fine when it’s dressed up though. The neck pocket is bit oversized but when I fitted the neck (that I bought from here separately) , the holes lined up perfectly. I presume they are drilled for a standard Fender neck fitting. The neck is quite nice. It has Fender decals but it’s not a Fender. The decals have also been lacquered over. It has black Schaller tuners and a Geddy Lee neck plate. I think someone was building a Geddy at some point. The pups are Fender. They came out of a Mex Deluxe I believe. i was going to change the harness as it sometimes makes a crackle noise, not all the time, just now and again. Never got round to it as it’s so infrequent. Plays well enough and the neck is quite skinny. I haven’t weighed it but I would say it’s between 8-8 1/2 pounds. It could be a lot nicer with a bit of tlc but I’m not going to use it now and thought I may as well pass it on to someone. Collection and trial much preferred but I will post if the buyer arranges their own courier. I’ll throw in an old Gator case to ship it in. It’s seen better days so don’t think you are getting a posh new one 🤣 It’s a freebie!

I owned the BP1 Compact but didn't like the tone as much as its big brother. The compact has a very different tone with a significant bump in the upper mids.

A lot of pedal for not much money.
