    WOOD & TRONICS QUINTESSENCE 4.***SOLD***

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by bobpalt

    Absolutely mint WOOD & TRONICS QUINTESSENCE with aftermarket hard case,

    If you want something pretty unique this is the one to go for. As I understand it, W&T were developing a bolt on version of the EJ with the intention of eventually producing a bass made with all the care and quality of their normal range but at a lower price point. However, when the retail price topped £2,000 they must have realised that the market they were aiming for was not going to be met, so only manufactured 3 or 4 of them. I bought this from BassGear a couple of years ago for a good price, so can sell it for what is a pittance for such a brilliant, good looking and top quality instrument,

    I have added a case, but hardly played the bass as I have given up gigging, so its in mint condition (to match its mint scratchplate!). Its not a light bass, but not a boat anchor either, and the tone and playability are superb.


    Scale length: 34″
    Stringing: Dunlop 040.060.080.100 St. Steel
    Strings interspace at the bridge: 19mm At nut: 9mm
    Neck: 3-piece Maple
    Fretboard: Maple
    Frets: 22, medium size
    Position dots: Ebony
    Body wood: Ash with contrast black veneer
    Pickups: Kent Armstrong J-style split-coils in Ebony-topped wood covers
    Tuners: Hipshot Ultralites – CHROME
    Finish: Fine Satin over natural Ash
    Bridge: Hipshot B-style – Chrome
    Electronics: East SP-02 VOL+BLEND + BASS/HIGHS + PASSIVE TONE w. ACT/PASS push-pull switch)

    As I don't play now no trades sorry, and as I really want to sell this quickly, one last reduction to the stupid price of £895!

    AVALON (LOWDEN) LEGACY 32 Acoustic guitar and case £1,250

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted · Edited by bobpalt

    Absolutely mint acoustic guitar, bought by me on a whim at the Cheltenham Acoustic Guitar Show a few years ago and has sat in its case under a bed ever since. Still has the original strings on which are useably fresh!

    Made by the Lowden craftsmen in Northern Ireland using the best materials, its a real beauty. Has a really thin solid sitka spruce top with rosewood back and sides, and the standard of workmanship takes your breath away. The tone however is the best bit. I have owned a few Lowden guitars over the years and loved them all, and this is no different, although George had left the company when it was made (hence the Avalon name). Its identical in every way I can see to a Lowden L32. Has a Hiscox Liteflight Pro 2 case.Don't really want to post this if possible.

    Cant seem to attach many photos. PM me for more.
