    Firm price final drop I love this bass but why am i selling it - it's because i have sausage fingers and this has a narrow 16mm string spacing - still very playable but just prefer wider Apart from that it sounds superb and as a glassy neck that's the fastest i've ever had, effortless McCartney/Byrds tones - warm woody thump. I took this and an MIA Pro P Bass to a studio session and used this on 7 out of 8 tunes - can here it here (Back out on the Run is the only P Bass track) https://greenhorses.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-milkshed Blurb: Number 40 of only 75 made (or might be 70) comes with Chris Hillman signed certificate of ownership. Signed on the trust rod cover. Byrds logo inlay at 12 fret.. Awesome Bisonic pup, 8.5lbs but feels way lighter compared to my J bass which is 9.5lbs, for a short scale 30 3/4 inch with big body it feels more like a full scale bass at 46" in total length. Bone nut. cream binding, arched laminated maple in beautiful sunburst. Strung with D'addario flats and set up by my guitar tech pal so has a super low action with no fret buzz or dead spots. Can be seen here It does not have the case but i have a padded gig bag that fits perfectly and sturdy box for UK shipping at £25 - or meet up in North West/ West Yorks - i'd be happier if you came and played it if you can. Sale only please no trades

    UPDATE No it's not - it's hardened over the weekend and isnt suitable now!
  11. Duroc17
    Yes the bass gods stepped in and all fares well!
  12. Duroc17
    Just done first gig with it. Yep love it!
  13. Duroc17
    Yes used to do that but with this i have torn the fabric more toward D and G and then hidden under ashtray - means on all the time but suits my sound for what i do 🙂
  14. Duroc17
    wouldnt say exactly clean but has a short decay to length of the note which is what i want in muting but still some clarity
  15. Duroc17
    Not whole sponge just about an inch off it
  16. Duroc17
    After parts cut for standard MIA jazz. £2 postage on top
  17. Duroc17
    Not the whole sponge just a 3/4inch strip approximately
  18. Duroc17
    I vote TI Flats or La Bella LTF

    Bought this today and stuck under the strings on my jazz then cut into it where strings indented it. Then I slightly pulled it apart ahd kept doing so until the tension on the strings became light and it sounds great. less mutey than a Nordy and hidden under my ashtray - gigging it Friday PVA sponge - mailable and smells like Playdoh £2.90!

    Thanks Michelle I have bought an American Original from a person in here. It’s great too

    Update my guitar tech pal sanded the nitro of the neck and oiled it for me and it’s now perfect 👌 I would’ve done it but I wanted it to be a proper job. This thing is alive
  22. Duroc17
    Think the LPB precision is a fine looking thing indeed
  23. Duroc17
    I got an extra wide strap and it was fine for a 3.5 hour rehearsal- thought May get some gotoh lollipop ones one day
  24. Duroc17
    Just back and Mon dieu it was superb - going through ash down Evo 2 the old one with 8x10 - had to turn it down to quarter volume and a touch of gain. It’s a keeper! GET ONE!

    Bought this from fellow BCer Fender Am Original Jazz in CAR I decided against the self build project for now and fell in love with this lovely thing and with la bellas on but switched out for TI flats and sanded down the gloss on the neck a tad and bingo - blimey what a great sounding bass this is. Articulate, warm yet punchy, bottom end full as a man who has seen a 3 for 1 in a pie shop and bought 6 pies for lunch! the neck is quite chunky - not a baseball bat but something to get used to and it’s quite heavy - would lightweight tuners make that much difference? It’s alright on a strap - I love the neck - gonna stick with it rehearsals tonight can’t wait 😛
