[font=Helvetica][size=3]It is breaking my heart that I have to do this, over the past few years I had many basses that came and went, but this has been my main pride and joy that I promised myself to keep until I get old. [/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]Not going to tell the whole story why I need to sell it, you can have a look at the topic here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/298977-urgent-car-scratch-repair-needed-london-heeeelp/"]http://basschat.co.u...london-heeeelp/[/url] , just a series of unfortunate events…[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]So this bass was ordered and made for me, I have had a couple of other GMR basses before I ordered this one. It was made to my specs and I have chosen the beautiful buckeye burl top. It would cost you probably more than twice to order it brand new now.[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]It’s obviously 5 string with rather narrow 16.5 string spacing, and it’s also 33” scale and it makes it really comfortable to play. It is a single cut construction, but my precision bass is actually heavier than this (it’s definitely not super light but I have never felt any discomfort playing even quite long sets), don’t know exact weight but will try to check and update soon.

[font=Helvetica][size=3]Full specs:[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]Buckeye burl top[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]Mahogany body[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]5pcs flamed maple neck (neck-thru body)[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]Rosewood fingerboard[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]Bartolini pickups[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]Noll 3 band pre-amp[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]ETS bridge[/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]It is fitted with a nice ramp between pickups - it was made at The Gallery in London and is held by a very thin double sided tape, it can be removed without any marks, I know because I have done it once before. Currently set up B-G but I had it originally made with E-C. Both configurations sounds amazing and there is no need to change the nut. [/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]Not sure what else I could say about it, it is my baby, the craftmanship and attention to details is amazing, everyone who had this bass in their hands was totally impressed by it and I always had a lot of positive comments about it. It’s in great condition, of course it does have some small marks here and there as you would expect from the instrument that was played a lot, but nothing that would catch the eye. [/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]Anyone is more than welcome to come and try it. Also due to the value I won’t post it as I don’t have anything for that but I’d be happy to meet somewhere half-way. I am based in NW London, near Brent Cross, just off the M1 and A406. [/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]This is a very urgent sale, so I am open to some offers, it would need to be gone by 2nd Feb, as I will be leaving for a month on that day. I am open to part-trade offers but that would need to be for some budget bass with significant cash amount. Also please check my feedback, I am basschat member for quite a few years now and made some trades here. [/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica][size=3]Here are some random pictures of the bass, I’ll try to make some proper pictures soon.[/size][/font]
