This bass is a tone moster, purchased only a few months ago brand new as New Old Stock is in fact a expensive whim for me so even its sound and look is unreal, I really don't know what to do with 6 strings. This is known as the perfect GAS attack, you know how it works. Perfect setup with a very low action, the neck is very easy to play and truly slim. I will send it with a brand new deluxe hardcase made specifically for this bass (pictures coming) that fits the instrument like a glove, instead of the factory gig bag or the generic hardcase pictured. Included for free a very nice Ovangkol removable ramp made by my luthier, Warwick wax and all his adjusting tools. Those basses cost today about 2400 EUR in Europe if you find one. 4599 USD, 3679 street price in the States, take a look at the end of this site: [url="http://www.basscentral.com/warwick/thumb_bolt_on.shtml"]http://www.basscentral.com/warwick/thumb_bolt_on.shtml[/url] ... so having in mind that is in as new condition I think [s]1680 [/s]1380 EUR or Sterling Pounds equivalent+ shipping to your home for a straight sale is a bargain for this stunning piece. Talking about trades adjusting cash: Any good fretted 4 strings could suit me well but my all times favourites are: Fender Jazz Bass Custom Shop or Vintage Reissues or a Ultra Vintage Sadowsky. Also Laklands or Stingrays could work. Also a good Telecaster CS, '52 RI or '62 RI or a Gibson ES-335 cherry could be of my interest. Anyway feel free to send me any proposal through PM please and we talk about it. Thanks!

Hi mates, thank you for your words. No idea at all about Paolo Nutini's bass player. I know and I really like his work but I don't have any info about the gear of his band. Did you see at Glastonbury in 2007? Will be fine get some info about it.

Would love to see how it looks after the refinish but interested.

Thank you Wil, it's a GREAT bass in every aspect, very hard to find in this excellent condition. One more picture with the La Bella 760N Black Nylon strings:

Try to find a piece like this worldwide: My main fretless for recording, never gigged: 1976 fretless P-Bass in an incredible near mint condition, only a tiny mark without any impact and hard to photograph in the back of the neck. All original till the last screw. Serial: 76 47406. Pots: 1377613. Very lightweight, less than 8lbs. Premium ash body, rosewood board without any marks (always set-up with flatwounds). Truss rod works flawless, stay tuned for months, not any issue at all with this beauty. Original Hardshell case and sealed Fender duster and mutes included. Currently set-up with brand new La Bella 760N Black Nylon strings with a very low action, I will include two expensive brand new extra sets with the sale/trade. This is the best CBS Fender bass I've found in my life and I owned dozens, my promise. Sounds incredible with a warm strong signal without any noises at all, EXACTLY as the one in the first The Police albums. Please contact me through PM. Thanks.

Jim, I want so badly your Wal Mk I.

Jim, sell the '72 to Si and I'll send you this one tomorrow.

The end of an era. Congratulations mate.

Thanks folks, glad you like this beauty. Not on hold but currently working on it with a forum mate.

It's simply amazing how it looks but believe me when I tell you that the best in this bass is the sound, go imagine.

Yes, it's a normal scale bass mate. As user of many hollowbody short scale basses in the past I think there's a HUGE difference in terms of tone, it's deeper and fuller in the 34''.

Isn't cool? ^_^ I guess there's only a few in Europe so the retail price was 4300 EUR and the street price 3600, no many room to see one in every bass player gear. Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs plays one of these in his parallel band "Dead Weather".

Now sold! Thank you

.

Fantastic bass at a great price, best luck with the sale mate.

What a beautiful bass.

Hi mate, good question. I guess you're right, not a big difference with my '78 but I think this neck it's smaller and more comfortable. I forget it: Comes with Dunlop dual straplocks and of course its original ones.

Sold pending payment.

Hi Wombatboter, Truly difficult for a non english native explaining in words how impressive is a bass like that, but at the same time how can you suffer with a piece like this outside home. I understand you perfectly, maybe you remember my sale thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=74514"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=74514[/url] Same "problem" as you but I know now that I prefer a ding in the headstock playing live than missing a bass like this forever. Best luck with the trade or sale mate, it's so astounding a Signature Alembic (and yours it's amazing) so maybe you finally will reconsider it as I did. Anyway all the best and regards from Spain.
