Wilkinson WBBC5 Vintage bridge. Brand new, chrome finish, brass saddles. Standard Fender and Fender-a-like fit. More substantial than a standard Fender BBOT. Includes UK postage.

@dutchwife thanks for the comments. The arthritis is a bit of a pain, no pun intended, but at least I've found a solution that means I can keep playing. The original SGC Nanyo Bass Collections are indeed cracking basses but very overlooked. Light as a feather, Gotoh hardware and the active basses were between £700 and £900 back in the day. If they made a 32" scale version I'd be scouring the web for one, they are that good.

I'm moving to 32" scale basses due to a bit of arthritis creeping in. All my standard scale basses are going and this is the last of the 3 Bass Collections I own(ed). By far the nicest and in fantastic condition. It's an SB315, I believe and serial number is 912992 making it a 1991 build. I've replaced the pre-amp with a Glockenklang 2 band and had an external battery box fitted at the same time. I've still got the original pre-amp and knobs but the Glock is a country mile better than the stock electronics. It's in stunning condition for a 31 year old bass with just a couple of small dings that are difficult to spot and photograph..

Nut width is 47.5mm with 8.4mm string spacing.

It's 34" scale. I'll measure the nut spacing tomorrow as I'm out at the moment.

ACG Skelf Type "R". Serial number 0097 and was Alan's own bass at one time. Black Limba body with a figured Redwood top. Padauk/Wenge/Maple 5 piece neck with an Acrylic Impregnated Wenge finger board. Asymmetric neck carve with a flat finger board. Luminlay fret markers. ACG SEQ+ pre-amp which is the standard SEQ but with an additional high pass stack. Pickups are a coil-tapped RFB humbucker and SBT single coil. The single coil also has a tap in the windings and is overwound to give a nice aggressive tone and when tapped it becomes a smoother tone. Hipshot Type A bridge 18 mm spacing and Hipshot Ultralites. Schaller straplocks.. Satin finish. Weight 8.25lbs There is minute ding on the front that I only spotted when giving it a microscopic look over. Couldn't photograph it as it is just a small depression. Otherwise it is immaculate. Alan reckons it would cost around £3k to build another of these and is one of a kind. I'm moving to medium scale basses due to the onset of arthritis so not really interested in trades, unless 32" scale 5 string. Reduced to £1550 Further reduction to £1395 before it goes for a commission sale.

Been asked about trades. As I am switching to medium scale then a trade with a nice light 5 string 32" would interest me or an Ashdown Rootmaster Combo. Also it has the genuine Bacchus gig bag as suppled from new and I'm happy to post.

@Andyjr1515 weren't you after some Luminlay for a job?

If you are reading this you know about Bacchus basses, unfortunately this one has a twisted neck. It's a late 2018 model and I bought it two years ago after first lockdown and it sat there un-played in all that time. I didn't think to check it properly as it played great and has that proper Jazz growl. It only came to light when I decided to sell it as I'm moving to medium scale basses. This is one of the Woodline models made by Bacchus in the Philippines I've had two MIJ Bacchus and in my opinion the workmanship is every bit as good as the Japanese models. I have a deal on the table with Danny at Bass Japan Direct who wants the loaded body for one of his "Funky Junk" projects and he would source a medium scale Bacchus for me and take this in p/ex. That deal is actually worth more to me than the price I have on here but if I can avoid the paperwork etc, required to send to Japan I'd rather sell it cheaper. It does play pretty well but you can't get a really low action on it. I've been directed towards some stunning maple necks that would look awesome on this and for around £80ish. That would be a really cheap Bacchus. I've had a few questions which I think are worth sharing. I've been asked "could the neck be rescued?". I've had the bass looked at by my go to luthier/ guitar tech and he is if the opinion that it could possibly be straightened by heating and clamping it but no guarantee that it wouldn't twist again. The proper solution would be to remove the neck and rout out for two carbon rods. This would break up the grain and provide additional stability. A costly exercise and wouldn't it look nicer with a bound and blocked maple neck? "Will a standard Fender width neck fit?" I don't have anything to accurately measure the neck pocket but using a steel rule, it appears in the 68-70 mm area. I think a Fender Jazz/P Bass is just short of 69mm so certainly ball park. It does have a curved rout in the neck pocket, which isn't visible as the fingerboard overhangs a little so it appears squared off. "What do the controls do?" It's an active bass and currently it's vol/vol/bass/ treble cut and boost. It's easy to convert to vol/blend. Any more questions, just ask. I've also got it f/s in the Accessories & Other........ as I've valued it as a loaded body, but it is a perfectly playable bass and cheap for a Bacchus.
