Firecreek 5 string P bass
34” scale
19mm string spacing at bridge
9mm string spacing at nut
21 frets
12” board radius
Absolutely stunning flame ash body, super rare in this quality
5 piece hard rock maple neck with black accents, perfectly quarter sawn
Padouk fretboard, very similar to rosewood just a bit more red
Oil and wax finish on the body
Spirit finish on the neck, feels so good like bare wood but protected
Nordstand NP5 pickup
Russian NOS PIO cap
Alpha pots

Plays like an absolute dream and has real quality tone and character, very fast attach on the notes and very punchy. I've giged it a little but its still in perfect condition.

Any trial welcome in Worcester. Just let me know if there are any questions or if you would like more photos. I broke my wrist yesterday so I can’t record any sound clips for a few weeks!
Not really looking for trades at the moment

I do travel about a lot for work so I can probably deliver in person.

I've used one of these a lot over the last ten years or so - really nice medium power amp. What is the thing above the footswitch socket?
[/quote]

I dont know! It was on there when i got it (about 4 years ago?)

Selling my pre Fender SWR 220 head £200 not really interested in any trades right now

Its 220watts @ 4 ohms Dont let that put you off its a loud amp. I've played with very loud rock drummers with this and it kept up without a sweat, any louder and the whole band would have to go through the PA.

This has tone to die for, real powerful punch and clarity without sounding at all sterile or harsh. The 4 band parametric EQ allows for huge variation in sound. Only 7kg without that thin class D sound. No fan and does not get hot!

It's been well used and a bit taty but works perfectly, its also a really good double bass amp

Its had the aural enhancer mod done to give it a flat response which really helped get rid of the scoop and help the punch. [url="http://www.talkbass.com/threads/swr-aural-enhancer-bypass.643201/"]http://www.talkbass....-bypass.643201/[/url]

Hi Nugget, check out [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/232358-fdeck-clone-made-in-uk/page__p__2470907__hl__fdeck__fromsearch__1#entry2470907"]this thread[/url]. You can get a FDeck clone made in the UK for a very reasonable price. I have one and it works great.
[/quote]

Cool tip, i've just ordered one of these clones. Cant wait to try it

I know this should be in the wanted pages, just thought it might reach more DB players here

I'm looking for either an Fdeck or a Headway preamp

Cool version of a popular crappy song

Clarky is the man!

Bought a set of DB strings, probably the easiest and quickest transaction ever.

...Bump...

[b] T-Rex Squeezer[/b]

Great valve compressor, very versatile really fills out the tone as well as being a very good compressor with no loss of highs or lows

Comes with box, original PSU and user manual

It's been used and has velcro on the bottom, a couple of very small paint chips on the side but everything functions perfectly

Only selling it as I've just got an amp with a cracking valve comp (which sounds just like this one)

Not really looking for any trades except possibly a guitar multi FX unit, delay pedal or tremolo pedal

Price includes postage

I went to see Nugget last week as I’m saving for a deposit on a bass he’s hopefully going to make for me and had the chance to have a play on this and its fantastic, so much so I’ve changed my mind on what I want and he’s going to make me a 4 string version. It’s got so much soul and that I haven’t got from other basses, much more expressive than a regular fretless for some reason.

Someone’s going to get a real bargain here.

Hi Rob

Thanks, But with your talent you could play a tennis racket and it would sound great!!!!
See you soon

Action looks high, can it be adjusted?
[/quote]

It's the angle of the photo, the action is pretty low, not crazy low. Yes the action can be adjusted by filing the saddle grooves just like you would a nut

Interested in a trade with a Tecamp BadBull 900 with flight case ? Amp is as new condition and in full warranty .
I do live in Paris
[/quote]


Sorry, I'd have to hear the amp 1st as I'm not familiar with them and youre just a little to far away to pop round and try. I'm really swaying away from class D amps but the specs look very good on yours with valve pre etc

Thanks for the offer

Scale? Any picture of the jack input and one of the fretlines? I hope it makes sense

Thanks

It's 34" scale and here are photos as requested

Thanks for all the kind comments, it sounds even better than it looks


In response to questions above and PM's recieved I've missed out some vital info in original posting so here goes

It's 8lb 2oz, not super super light due to the ovangkol body, even though its really heavily chambered the centre block from neck to bridge is still solid. I'm kinda obsessed about keeping stiffness from neck to bridge from a design point of view.

String spacing 17mm at the bridge and 9mm at the nut

There are no straplock fitted but I will fit some if required before it goes. I've never even taken it to a gig so never needed them yet.

It comes in a real crappy old hard case just for transport really. If no quality case is a deal breaker I'll buy a nice case for it.

I do travel all over for work so I can most probably deliver in person as I'd rather do that if possible but can post if really necessary.


Your wife will LOVE it, its beautiful bass, who couldnt love it (even though it is a single cut ha ha) she'll want you to hang it on the wall over the TV and only complain when you take it down to play it !!! It's not like it has ugly pickups and knobs etc spoiling the looks..........

Trades - really only as above, not looking for any more basses as I have a perfect (for me) gigging bass and a wonderful double bass

Thanks for all the interest so far
Dave

For Sale or possible trade (trade list below)
Firecreek hollow body 5 string fretless bass

It’s used but in very good condition, I built this specifically for an acoustic project but ended up getting a double bass and now play that instead. The playability is amazing, it’s just so tactile. For a piezo only setup it actually has a very wide range of tones, from quite bright and punchy if played near the bridge to downright pure silky smooth loveliness if played up by the fretboard


34" scale length
17mm spacing at bridge
9mm spacing at nut
Set neck design
Side markers and dots on top edge of fretboard
AAAAA Myrtle burl-flame top
Ovangkol body, hollowed out but leaving central block from neck to bridge solid for strength & stability
Ovangkol fretboard
Rock maple and Wenge laminated neck
Matching myrtle headstock veneer
Spirit finish neck so it’s protected but feels as natural as posible
Piezo under saddle wired directly to socket
Graphtec saddle and nut
Rosewood Bridge
La bella nylon tapewound strings
Very thin nitro cellulose high gloss finish
Included Fishman ProEQ II external preamp boxed with instructions – these are far superior to having an on-board preamp and more tonal variation available, the preamp of choice for double bass.

Any Trail welcome and certainly recommended

Possible trade for big heavy powerful amps eg Mesa or all valve heads +cash

This colour

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1404383839' post='2492071']
What's your colour? RGB is an additive colour model whereas paint is a subtractive one, so not all RBG colours can be matched. On top of that RGB is not an absolute, but is device dependant which means that without colour management software the same RGB values will appear different on different output devices (monitors etc.)

Also be careful if you go to Halfords or some other non-specialist paint retailer as they don't always get you an exact match but simply the one that is closest to what they they already have.
[/quote]

Its RGB170,133,132

It was spec'd by a graphic designer (I'm sure I'll be corrected on that as he's a member on here) who deals with specific colours etc daily and works on calibrated screens / printers etc, so I'm confident the RGB code is correct, I have a calibrated printout of the colour and think i've found someone who might help from that printout.

I've emailed about 10 places that specialize in custom paint mixing that I found on google now and only 1 has replied - and they didnt even know what RBG was



[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1404386936' post='2492128']
have you tried Manchester Guitar Tech? he can mix nitrocellulose to order but i think there's a minimum order size for custom colours

[/quote]

Not wanting to diss them, but i have ordered 2 lots of oly white from them each pot 1 week apart and the colour was not even remotely close. The paint was good quality and if I had ordered enough in the 1st place it wouldnt have been a problem.

Didn't even think about Halfords! I'll have to go and talk to them

Thank
Dave

Hi – does anyone know where I can get paint mixed to an RGB colour code, there is no RAL close to what I’m after?? I’m struggling to find anyone despite contacting a load of paint suppliers found on google.

Ideally in cellulose for ease of spraying but would consider other formats

Thanks
Dave
