Is that 4 identically constructed basses with different PUP / pre combinations? Absolutely fantastic playing of an incredible instrument!

Are you selling two of these basses? I can see two ads, one selling for €800 and this one at €700??

Lovely bass, but I think you need to put a sale / trade value in the ad.

Price reduced and still open to 5 or 6 string trades

Thanks, Rayman. It's not stretching the truth to say that it plays even better than it looks and I think that's saying something.

Back Up....

Alas, I think you're not the only one struggling to shepherd the readies! She is a beauty though!!

Back up!

You're starting to make me doubt myself now!! Do you reckon a different ore would make a difference?

I reckon it's 34.5" scale. String spacing is 10mm at the nut and 17.5mm at the bridge.

I feared you might say that! Did you get the orange CS?

What sort of Roscoe would that be?!

PMs replied to, thanks.

I've just come to the conclusion that I'm not a Bartolini man so I'm putting this up for grabs .This is without doubt the best 'feeling' bass I've ever owned and Mike Kinal is a master craftsman. The ONLY reason I'm considering letting this go is that I just can't get on with the Bartolini setup. I've even considered the idea of replacing the pickups and pre, but that would involve a pretty significant cash outlay so I'm trying this first. [b]Body [/b]- pretty sure it's Alder [b]Top [/b]- Goncolo-Alves [b]Neck [/b]- 5 piece Maple (two flamed strips) with Purpleheart [b]Fretboard [/b]- beautiful piece of Rosewood with MOP dot markers [b]Pickups [/b]- Bartolini BC in neck position and BD in bridge (has Goncolo-Alves ramp fitted) [b]Preamp [/b]- Bartolini [b]Controls [/b]- Vol (push-pull active-passive), blend, treble, mid, bass. Three switches (EQ bypass, mid freq selection, coil tap between series, parallel and single coil) [b]Tuners and bridge [/b]- not sure, maybe Hipshot or Gotoh - good quality either way. Through-body stringing available [b]Weight [/b]- just under 9Ibs on the bathroom scales Newly strung with a set of Elites. [b]Price [/b]- [s]£900 [/s] £850+ P&P (you would genuinely be hard pushed to find such a well constructed instrument for this price) [b]Trades [/b]- I'd really like to get back to a more traditional jazz tone. Ideally in 5 string format. Thanks for looking and please get in touch if you have any questions. I would ask that anyone considering making a 'would you accept a Squire bass + £140' type offer, resist from pressing the 'Send' button.

Did you ever manage to sort some sound clips? I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who'd love to hear what art sounds like!

Bump

I keep looking at this and wondering why it isn't selling?? Is it the chip round the socket that's putting people off?

Yep, 'tis the very same. Sold it via eBay, but having said he loved it, the buyer took issue with the naming so is returning it. Hence why it's back on here :-(

Ignore the last bit of that question! Just re-read the ad.

Hi Ian, Out of interest, could you tell me how much your Corvette weighs and whether it's the active or passive version? Thanks Andy

Since getting my Kinal 5 this just doesn't get a look in so it's up for grabs. This is slightly different from the current Ovangol necked / maple bodied LX's because this has a maple neck and cherry body. The Cherry body seems to help give a little extra warmth when compared to the usual maple body. Tone - very punchy with a nice warmth whilst retaining the typical Warwick growl. Condition - very good. No specific bashes or dings that I can see although the hardwear is tarnished in places, particularly on the bridge pieces. Electronics - It's an all MEC affair. There's some crackle on the volume pot which has appeared recently, probably due to limited use. A bit of lube should help resolve this. Price - Looking for £600 please Trades - would be interested in a nice 6 string, preferably a Yamaha, but I'm open to suggestions.
