A moist and misty Devon bump!

Bump for a lovely, unusual bass, as it's gone all quiet!

I'll make it a wee bit more tempting and say I'll pay for the courier!

OK, in answer to Karlfer's questions; Weight is just under 8lbs, and sorry JPJ, the truss rod adjusts from the heel

Haha! Go on, you know you want to, big saving on new!

Thanks for the comments chaps! No neck dive Karlfer as I've put a strap button on the neck plate, I'll weigh it tomorrow when I can find some scales. Yes I think it a fair price JPJ, I'm not a greedy man, and I could do with some readies as Mrs P wanted a new wood burner, and if she's happy, I'm happy! Cheers Roland, it is a very cool piece of kit.

He got fed up with Thunderbird necks snapping so the solution was to stick a Fender neck on a Thunderbird style body, hence the Fenderbird. Yes I know he favoured precisions, but this one has a lovely jazz profile neck. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]It's in lake placid blue and is just over two years old. I bought it from TommyK on here, who commissioned it (he sold it due to the imminent arrival of a baby). [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]To buy it new, including shipping from the states and import duty would now cost about £1100 to £1200. It has a couple of dings on the lower horn, but other than that is in great condition. I would recommend coming to try it if you're interested, and I'll put the kettle on and break out the biscuits! I'm just outside Exeter.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][url="http://cataldobasses.com"]http://cataldobasses.com[/url] for more info.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]This is a great bass, I just don't use it enough, and it needs to be out there getting played.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Price is a very reasonable £700. *NOW REDUCED TO £650*, so even more reasonable![/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Specs:[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Hand built Solid Honduras Mahogany body with contoured back.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Passive Thunder bucker pickup set up with polished nickel silver covers (designed & built by Steve Soar.

Sunny Devon bump

Bump

Thought I'd better put up some pics as I've referred to them in first post! [attachment=145412:IMG_0282.JPG] [attachment=145413:IMG_0283.JPG]

Lovely lovely basses, and a new one will cost around £2300 (I saw a couple in Mansons today!) so have a bargain price bump

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've decided to put this up for sale again at a reduced price, as it really isn't getting any use since I [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]acquired a Markbass TTE500, [/font][/color]which just suits what my band does much better, especially since we changed our guitarist! Having said that, the Genz is a fantastic amp. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Genz Benz shuttle 9.0 bass head. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif](900w at 4 ohms, 500w at 8 ohms.)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]In excellent condition, barring small scratch on underside near foot (see pics).[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Small enough to put in your gig bag or a laptop case. Fantastic clear sound, cuts through the mix really well.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]You're welcome to come and give it a try with your own cab, I'm near Exeter, in sunny Devon. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'll put the kettle on and break out the good biscuits![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've also got a new foot switch for this, used a couple of times only.[/font][/color] Happy to post if you don't feel the need to try it.
