bump! Had this on hold for Zomnius ,who asked for shipping quote,bank details then disappeared. So back for sale this hand carved ,lovely sounding bass ,low b is one of the best I've heard ,feel free to check it out

Not sure if its 17mm string spacing. What's a thumb normally anyone know? I'd say it was very slightly wider than or same as the other early thumb I just sold but that had the one piece bridge.

[quote name='CaptainBlackarm16' timestamp='1477131005' post='3160004'] Lovely! Trades? [/quote] Hmmm not sure about trades but pm me what you have just in case thanks :-)

now Sold. This is a very nice bass at a nice price It was lovingly made by a master cabinet maker over 20 years ago for his wife who played in a country band He made a few basses and guitars around that time. The build is fantastic it's based on a thumb 4 so has the same pick up placement as a 4 but with the correct width neck of a thumb 5 So the body is slightly smaller than a 5. A one off hand tooled solid brass bridge. bubinga wenge and ebony woods ,bartolini pick ups. The wenge strips have some sap wood in them and go from chocolate brown to grey in the headstock. Only thing that could be improved in my opinion is the machineheads which aren't as good as the schaller versions. It has no logo on headstock or truss rod cover though you could easily design your own personal versions. I don't have a case though I could wrap it up safe given time for shipping. £500 [URL=http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/walplayer2/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsxr5dlenx.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah130/walplayer2/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsxr5dlenx.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/walplayer2/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps1p1dhy7s.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah130/walplayer2/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps1p1dhy7s.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/walplayer2/media/image.jpg1_zpsfcv2iyxe.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah130/walplayer2/image.jpg1_zpsfcv2iyxe.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/walplayer2/media/image.jpg3_zpstjdnkpcn.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah130/walplayer2/image.jpg3_zpstjdnkpcn.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/walplayer2/media/image.jpg2_zpsj82wuc9y.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah130/walplayer2/image.jpg2_zpsj82wuc9y.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/walplayer2/media/image.jpg2_zpster4bbpa.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah130/walplayer2/image.jpg2_zpster4bbpa.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='andy67' timestamp='1466845865' post='3079276'] No probs mate. You can identify them by the pole pieces as they are not flat they taper up. [/quote] Ah they don't do that ,so won't be those they look erm "reliced" too lol

[quote name='andy67' timestamp='1466843119' post='3079246'] Mentioning reissue 59 pups took me Mike Dirnt as he uses those specifically for his fender sig bass so, guessing they are these fellas: https://stratosphereparts.com/fender-mike-dirnt-road-worn-p-bass-59-split-pickup-pots-knobs-vintage/ [/quote] Thanks for the info mate not sure if they are or how I'd tell to be honest, but they seem decent quality

Sold
