7string

Yeah I know what you mean. A mate of has the Studio Elite in Burning Water. I play it for about 5 minutes before giving it back as it’s just too good! We joke that I ought to get my Tyler bass painted in Burning Water for a matching pair 😂

That's a brilliant price for a superb way to get into 7 strings. I used a GT7 for years and BD version is much better than that! Highly recommended 👍👍

Now that’s a “wow” bass. Superb! 😱😱

That’s a rare beast indeed and so simple. Unusual not to see any contouring on the neck joint and a smaller control cavity. Mine’s got the Demeter preamp and so many wires that I daren’t open the cover!

BUMP !!

BUMP! It's a shame I have to sell, but that's the way it goes. Trade enquiries welcome.

BUMP. Trades ideas always welcome.

Replied and a bump while I'm here :-)

BUMP! I'm travelling to the south east coast over the next couple of weeks, so it's possible to deliver as I travel down.

BUMP!

[color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]I now have a stack of detailed pictures on Photobucket and videos of the bass on Dropbox. If you are genuinely interested in this bass, please message me and I'll send you the links.[/font][/color]

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I've seen that Mk2. It needs new tuners, the nut has been replaced poorly and it didn't even work when I asked to play it :-) The 32" scale Mk1 is easier to play and will be great for when I'm too sore to play a 34".

BASS NOW SOLD [font=Helvetica]After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to sell my Conklin Groove Tools 7 string bass. I’ve been suffering from M.E./CFS for a few years now and this bass is now too much for me to play. Ideally, the plan is to sell this and go back to a Fender Urge Mk1, a 4 string, 32” scale bass I used to play in the mid-90’s (if anyone has one of those and wants to trade, please get in touch). If you have something that is 4 or 5 string, 33" or 34" scale that you want to trade then just get in touch.[/font] [font=Helvetica]I bought this bass from the States and it’s been nothing short of brilliant. The body is swamp ash with a 1/4” quilt maple top in a wine cellophane finish while the neck is a 7 piece wenge/purpleheart, topped with a purpleheart fingerboard with off-side position markers. The 2 active Bartolini humbuckers have enough output and enough tonal range to cover anything I’ve thrown at it. Controls are volume, blend, bass and treble.[/font] [font=Helvetica]A few years ago I had the bass de-fretted and a ramp fitted by Jon Shuker of Shuker Basses. He did a fantastic job. It’s possible to re-fret the bass and even change the B-C to F#-G if you want to.[/font] [font=Helvetica]This is a big and heavy bass, but one which gives a huge tone. Before my illness, the weight was never a problem as long as I used a neoprene Comfort Strapp (yes, it has 2 p’s !). The strap really did help and I could do 3 hour rehearsals with no problem.[/font] [font=Helvetica]There’s not many of these around in the UK and this one is in great condition. There’s the odd small dent, but they are really small. It’s not a problem to take pics of these, but you have to really inspect the bass close-up to see them.[/font]

PM sent.

Any pics of the bass ?
