Graham was a pleasure to deal with. He shipped a bass to Germany and it was professionally packed and arrived here safely. On top of that he sold me a bass for a used price that actually was in a super mint, as new condition. Friendly & quick communication throughout the whole process.

Thanks,

Chris.

Hey Guys,

I didnt want to tell too much as I dont like when people write pages of how great an instrument is that they are trying to sell..

but since you asked :-)

I really like the neck. It is fast, and not thick at all, but due to the high quality hardwoods used, it is the most stable neck I ever had. The String spacing is 18.5mm.
Whats also really comfortable is the curved top/body of the bass. It hangs in perfect playing position, and also its really comfortable on the right hand.
I think these basses have a lot of similarities with the pre-gibson Tobias basses. Sound and feel wise.

Check out Orin Isaacs, he has a couple of Vadim's Basses:

All in all I just love the Passion and Soul Vadim puts into his Basses. I think thats what is so unique about them. You dont find this a lot these days.

Hi Kermit, I want Vadim to build me a 6er so I am selling this 5er.

Even if you arent interested in this bass, check out the interview with Vadim, he has quite a story to tell :-).

Hey Everybody, now this is quite a rare bass, so I thought I would also post it here on Basschat. It is a handmade bass built by Vadim Rubtsov. ( www.globalbass.com/archives/dec2000/vadim.htm ) Its a great playing and sounding bass and in great condition. No scratches and dings whatsoever. It has recently gotton a professional set up as well. It has a Padauk Body core with Figured Maple top and back. The Neck is made of Padauk and Wenge, Fingerboard is Macassar Ebony. It is a 35 inch scale neck. The electronics are Custom Illitch, and they are: Vol, Pan, Bass, Treble, Low Mids and High Mids. Case is included. A new bass like this from Vadim would cost 4400 Dollars and onwards. I am asking 2700 Euros. Please dont hesitate to pm or email me if you have any questions or want more pics: [email protected].
