Almost can't believe Im doing this, Ive only had the bass just over a month and its a beauty! but I just cant get the aggression I want out of it. [u][b]The spec [/b][/u] 34" scale 26 frets 5 piece laminated mahogany, white sycamore veneer neck maple f/board two way truss rod carbon fibre reinforced neck medium jumbo fretwire 2mm black side dots satin lacqure on neck / fboard mahogany body burr imbuya part curve top 6 bolt recessed neck polyester basecoat wet look gloss topcoat black hardware individual ABM tuner bridges 20mm spacing at bridge Delano JMVC split coil pickups Shuker 3 band eq (vol, pan, treble, mid, bass. Internal circuit gain control) neck width at the nut : 38.6mm neck width at 12th fret : 57.4mm neck width at 24th fret : 66.5mm neck depth at first fret : 20.0mm neck depth at 12th fret : 22.6mm With the EQ flat the tone is big and warm as you'd expect from a mahogany body, The EQ is very versatile and the bass will produce almost any sound you want it to. Pan up to the bridge and the tone is full but keeps its punch and doesn't become wooly, pan to the bridge and its bitey and snarly. I found the sweet spot to be panned slightly back with slight bass and treble boost. She's an absolute dream to play, as close to ergonomical perfection as I've ever found with a seriously low action and seriously low weight at 4.5 kg (roughly 1/3 the weight of your average ash bodied Jazz). 6 hour rehearsals are easy with her. The weight makes the fullness of the tone hard to believe, I can't even begin to fathom how such a feat was achieved, light weight and full tone without chambers. I'm really only interested in trades (possibly with cash adjustment) but if I see a bass I like on here I'll put a for sale price up. Trade wise I'm thinking along the lines of EBMM Sterlings and Bongos, maybe even 'Rays but it would have to be the right one I have no use for more than 4 strings, I don't mind what the pickup config is. No real use for piezo though. Hit me up if you're interested, even if you have something else to offer as a trade. Worst I can say is no. Advanced warning though, I may come to my senses and withdraw it. edit - This bass will be at the Cardiff Bass Bash, test drives encouraged. I make great tea

Temptation! Gotta love a good faker, is the tone as you'd expect? Or not?

That's a seriously good looking Faker! Is the thumb rest original?

I have a headless singlecut bolt on 4 that is the mutts to play. The spec of mine isn't remotely similar so I can't comment on tone but ergonomically these basses are amazing, they feel tiny (my 34" feels the same length as my Hofner)! Buy it someone? I'm bored of shukers ending up on the scrap heap for long times.

That's a lot of bass for very little wedge.

Wouldn't fancy a trade or trade with cash adjustment would you?

NOOOO!

I really like this!
