Stunning looking bass. I remember seeing this when Marty had it for sale. Can you tell me the weight of this bass?
[quote name='molan' post='777849' date='Mar 17 2010, 08:23 PM']This is the second of Marty Siggery's basses I've owned and I have to say that they are really well made and nicely finished.
This one has a particularly nice flamed maple cap and a lovely flamed maple neck. Body is light weight alder and the board is rosewood. Pickups are Fender Custom Shop but I'm not sure which models, has a very punchy sound for a passive bass though. Bridge is Schaller & tuners are Hipshot.
There's an obvious nod in the direction of the modern Sadowsky look to the body shape and headstock and logo design. Not suggesting this is an attempt to 'pass off' as a Sad, just mentioning this for reference to anyone who might be familiar with the design
It's essentially a brand new bass, not a mark on it anywhere and, as far as I know, I'm the first owner having bought it direct from Marty himself. Only reason for selling is that I'm really trying to reduce the number of basses in the house before my wife discovers how many I actually have!
Basically it's a very pretty bass in perfect condition for a fraction of the price you'd pay for something with this kind of flame on the top and a birdseye neck.
It's not the easiest of basses to take a picture of because of the gloss finish over the flame - however Marty has a great flash movie of it on his site that really shows off how nice it is [url="http://www.siggeryguitars.co.uk/roadbass%204%20cr.htm"]Here[/url]
I've copied a few sample pics from his site below.
I don't have a case for this at the moment but the price I've quoted will include either a hard case or a decent spec gig bag (whichever someone might prefer). Alternatively I'll reduce the price accordingly if someone wants to meet up or collect and doesn't require a case
Happy to ship anywhere but looking for trades as I'm trying to cut the collection down, lol.[/quote]
