After the recent acquisition of a status four string I've realised, to my great annoyance, that I'm just more comfortable on a 34"scale neck. So my Larkin Sc5 is on the block.
Brief run down of the spes:
[list]
[*]Maple neck-through with walnut & cherry stringers
[*]Walnut body wings
[*]Indian rosewood fret board
[*]ebony nut
[*]Carbon fibre neck reinforcement
[*]Spalted beech top
[*]Le Fay single coil pups
[*]EBS two band pre with mid selector
[*]Ebony 'ramp' upgrade which can be adjusted to taste
[*]35" scale with 24 frets
[*]Shamrock mop inlay at twelfth fret
[/list]
This bass is in immaculate condition and plays effortlessly. Recently setup with a fresh set of Status strings & tuned to high C. Can throw on a low B if wanted. This bass can take regular and double ball strings. Chris is a phenominal luthier and construction and attention to detail on this bass is what you'd expect from an elite custom builder; perfect.

This bass has a very Wal-ish type sound with great low-mid presence. The Le Fay pups are great and the EBS pre is powerful, transparent and above all, musical.
Comes with custom fitted hiscox case.
Pics!
I'm hoping for something in the region of £1125 ( That includes postage, generous I know )
The only small catch is that I live in Ireland. However, I live quite near to the Roslare ferry terminal so any Bass chatters in Wales wouldn't have to travel too far and I will post if you'd prefer.
Cheers guys.
