The roasted necks on these are so nice visually.. GLWTS

Whereabouts in Kent are you? 

Just out of interest what would postage cost….?? 

I have two with J width necks and one with a P width neck.. all P shaped bodies and pickups.. all made for me by Mark. 

The J necks are very close to a current US spec neck to my hands.. (I don’t own a current US spec J but have tried a few).. the relic process makes them feel very worn in and smooth.. the rolled edges really feel nice.. also the fretboard radius is very comfortable on mine, I don’t know what he uses, it’s more curved than my Stingray but not too much.. 

Just to throw a curve ball into your dilemma.. I favour the J necks and they are my main two basses BUT.. the P necked one sounds thicker and meatier.. they’re all Rosewood boards and they’re all P bodies with Mark’s standard hardware and pickups so the only difference is the neck mass.. so for a gig I’d favour the J necks.. but recording.. it’s the P neck.. 

Mark is a fantastic luthier to deal with.. super helpful and reliable.. I can’t recommend him more highly.. 

Oh my goodly goodness…!

long way from Eastbourne. Teesside (TS) as per profile etc.

☹️

More often seen with three single coils.. the original humbucker version much more classic IMHO.. glwts

Love it with the black scratchplate on.. whereabouts are you in the UK? 

Ooh.. good job I don’t live in Yorkshire or my bank balance would be about to drop by £850!! 

Whereabouts in the south east are you  please? 

Ohh 👍🏻

I don’t suppose you are going to be listing any matching cabs? I already have a Bassman head… GLWTS

I’m sure this would sell in minutes if you added postage? 

Bloody lovely bass.. wish I had £2500 right now.. it’ll only go up in value.. sadly I haven’t.. have a free bump.. GLWTS

I have nothing to send it in safely 🤷🏼‍♂️

It’s a problem I appreciate that.. but with the cost of petrol now anyone more than 40-50 miles of you is going to be put off.. that’s a lot of buyers.. if you have a good relationship with your local guitar shop they may well have delivery boxes out back just waiting to go for cardboard recycling.. my local shop gets rid of loads every week.. for a small donation to their biscuit fund you might be in luck?? 

This would probably sell straight away if you added post/courier? Lovely bass. 

Frankly astonished that this is still here.. a beautiful example of Mark’s custom work.. if anyone fancies buying my USA Telecaster off me I’d have it.. 

Sadly a full tank of fuel away and back for me which is another £100 these days (bloody cost of fuel!) … GLWTS

Is it still not open to UK buyers or has that changed?

It’s Mike Dirnt’s birthday today apparently.. heard that on Planet Rock.. wish I had £850.. bargain.. GLWTS

Having owned a Bravewood previously I’d be in like a shot…!  if only I currently owned a Stingray.. GLWTS

Do you have the original E tuner? 

Where are you Mike? 

Niiiice 👍🏻

I enjoy being on Bass Chat for a number of reasons but one of my original motivations for joining was the ‘For Sale’ topics. 
 

I generally check 2-3 times a week to see what’s been posted but yesterday I didn’t (Mother’s Day, visiting in-laws etc) … today I saw my dream bass in the ads, but already sold within 24hrs!! 😮 listed and sold before I even saw it!! genuinely a bit gutted.. 

I will now be checking EVERY day!!
