On hold !

I think the fretboard, which actually isn't one as there are no frets in it (not on it as they would be gone with the wind), or more unprecisely the fingerboard as you can't see any fingers on it, is more made out of brownie wood, like the cookies, but way much harder, unless you can't cook and make brownies as hard as concrete or maybe use concrete instead of flour, that often end up on the floor, that said, hence the close name to be sure you can't get wrong. So, long story short, it's Pau Ferrosewood in fact. Please don't forget your donation.

And traded.

CONKLIN Groove Tools GT6, originally a GT7 that became a GT8 and now is a GT6, the missing link. Would prefer selling it, hence the low price, but trades are always welcome, especially for a fretless bass : 4, 6 or 8 (no octave strings) strings unlined are my preferences. If you want a wide strings spacing bass, this one is for you. Sounds like a full Bartolini fitted bass, with loads of bass and precise highs. Also has SIMS Custom Led's installed. Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £850 GBP !!! In fully working condition and in excellent overall condition. Here are the specifications : Body : 2 pieces swamp ash with a bookmatched flamed maple top Neck : bolt on 7 pieces of wenge and purpleheart Fingerboard : purpleheart with side (and also front) Led dots Frets : 24 (no wear at all) Headstock : 3 + 3 shape (angled) with butterfly and cross inlay back lit by a Led Pickups : 2 active Bartolini P4 Preamp : Conklin/Bartolini 2 bands Controls : volume, blend, bass, treble, switch for the Led's Tuners : Gotoh Bridge : brass Warwick two pieces Strings spacing at bridge : 20 mm Nut : bone Strings spacing at nut : 11 mm Knobs : metal Scale : 34 inches Hardware colour : black Truss rods : 2 (fully working) Output jack : locking Neutrik Finish : gloss Land of craftsmanship : Korea Serial number : none Year : discontinued in 2005 is all I can say Weight : 5.4 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the C string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th fret (can go lower, but was perfect for me) Will come with a brand new semi-rigid case modified to accommodate the very long bass side horn. Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this bass because I don't need it anymore being a fretless player and it's too heavy for my broken back. Here is the long story short : I got it as a GT8, but the strings spacing was too narrow, and as I like wide strings spacing I decided to have it converted to a non existing GT6 aka the missing link, removing the two extra tuners, cutting the unnecessary headstock and replacing the existing tuners with better quality real Gotoh. I ordered a made to measure Hipshot 20 mm strings spacing bridge that was never made after 3 months, so I opted for a Warwick 2 pieces bridge instead. This bass is really easy to play and really deserves the name wide neck. The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has two new batteries (one for the preamp and one for the Led's) and has been fitted with a brand new set of D'Orazio nickel-plated steel round wound strings (30 - 45 - 65 - 85 - 105 - 125), which fit the bass to perfection and will also be delivered with a spare set of these exact same strings fitted on another bass for less than one hour. Here's the link to the original ad : Here Billie Jean played by Johan when it was still a GT8. Hope you don't mind @therealting : Billie Jean - Conklin Custom 8 String Bass.mp3 What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real condition : almost in new condition with no visible dings. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

On hold until Friday.

Of course, as it was designed for a low B. As I wrote it's still Abraham LABORIEL number one bass ! Must be a reason for that, no ?

You've been faster than fast on this one Loz. Congratulations !
