  1. Probably the nicest Ritters I've seen, epic finish!
  2. [quote name='CPBass' timestamp='1471693641' post='3115087'] Is the Bass now at Bass Direct or out on tour with you? [/quote] Its at Bass Direct now at their shop
  3. Bump- now offering free UK shipping/delivery and £200 off worldwide shipping
  4. Thanks. In case anyone is wondering- I'm willing to negotiate on the price!
  5. Thanks man, I wanted the right curves and angles that would suit the fanned bridge pieces etc., went through quite a few designs. We (Voices From The Fuselage) are playing at The Scene on the 25th August
  6. [quote name='binky_bass' timestamp='1468606834' post='3092147'] Nice... If this were a 6 string and a through neck, We'd be talking [/quote] Something that the builder and myself found with this bass is the sustain is extremely good, if not on par with a through neck design. The neck is a deep bolt on with threaded inserts to ensure a very tight connection to the neck pocket, as well as avoiding tearing to the neck if it is removed multiple times. These characteristics seem to create an insane amount of sustain and resonance that you might not expect from a bolt on instrument.
  7. [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1468622118' post='3092284'] Someone's going to ask, so it may as well be me. What does it weigh ? [/quote] it weighs ~10lb mark. Friends of mine, including my bass teacher, didn't find the weight an issue at all so its not as if its made of stone- I'm just broken
  8. [quote name='CPBass' timestamp='1468614730' post='3092221'] Where are you based Dale? [/quote] I'm based in Eastbourne, East Sussex
  9. It sounds like no other bass I've played or tried (including most Dingwalls), its an amazing sounding bass but when it was made, the luthier and I had different ideas on what 'medium weight' is. It's not the heaviest in the world, but I have a damaged shoulder and the weight is more than what I can take. It honestly kills me to sell it, but to have a bass that I can only play sitting down just doesn't sit right for me- plus I couldn't afford to keep it and get another bass for both recording and live use. The instrument is worth ~£4200 so whoever gets on this is honestly getting a steal. I have my eye on a lightweight Dingwall with a stripped down version of this (no fancy top or active EQ) which is perfect in weight
  10. NEW PRICE: £1500-this instrument has to go asap [color=#000000][font=Arial]For sale is a one-off custom built bass, designed by myself and made by Jim at KrashBurn Guitars. Looking to ideally sell for cash but could be swayed with the right Dingwall trade.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial]Bass Demo: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6OarkwFtXk"]https://www.youtube....h?v=z6OarkwFtXk[/url][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial]Bass review: [/font][color=#222222][url="http://basscravers.com/2016/07/06/krashburn-atlas-5-multi-scale-bass/"]http://basscravers.c...lti-scale-bass/[/url][/color][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial]Specs:[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial]- Swamp Ash body w/ thick AAAAA flame maple top (roughly 10mm thick top!)

It took over 18 months to design and build, took a lot of time to choose the right materials and components for this bass to make it perfect. I received it in April of this year and is in brand new condition, straight out of the workshop from Redding California (under 4 hours played time). All made in the USA. [/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial]The craftsmanship of this instrument is second to none, its a master built bass. As it features a rather large fan (37"-34"), there is an extra flush strap lock on the rear of the bass to help bring the strap position a few inches to the right to alter your left arm's position to a more comfortable one. This custom shop really do make amazing quality instruments.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial]I also have a custom flight case made for it by Best-In-Case, which I will include for free. It's a beast of a case, extremely well built and insanely strong/protective. It handled the shipping from the US to the UK like a boss, keeping the bass totally safe and secure. Case would be worth around £350 on its own and is one of the best flight cases I've seen.[/font][/color]
