This is a great bass for jazz/orchestral playing. I've owned it for 7 years now, bought from Tim Batchelor in Leicester, and had several jobs done on it.
The bass bar has been replaced which has given it more bottom end. It has an adjustable bridge with a FULL CIRCLE pick up, & had the fingerboard shot, all by Samuel Wells at Roger Dawson's workshop.
It has the original Pine Top, Scroll (quite worn) and Sycamore Back & Sides. The appearance is quite mottled, with many dents and it shows it's years, but sounds great and could be restored aesthetically.
Thick brass machine heads, very sturdy. One is slightly loose due to a repaired peg, a bit of blue tack stops the rattle when playing. A new one is easy to buy, I haven't because it's been my regular gigging bass and I've got by with the blue tack!
It has quite a wide ebony finger board, with D'Addario Helicore Hybrid Strings fitted.
It's been valued at £3500. I'm asking this price all inclusive, including the pick up (worth another £200). If your interested I'm in Leeds, West Yorkshire. To arrange to come and try it out call on 07941921707.
