Now sold elsewhere.
I am making a determined effort to sell a couple of basses that are no longer getting the use that they deserve. So to follow on the theme of slightly unusual basses here is a '54 replica Bitsa made by one of our own d_g. Lots of top quality parts were used in the build, the specs are as follows:
· Allparts Fender Licensed Neck with hand-rolled fretboard edges with satin finish on the back - Fender Decal THIS IS NOT A FENDER BASS
· 100% nitro black over sunburst finish with lots of lacquer checking
· 3 Piece Lightweight Alder Body
· Heavy Knurled Relic Knobs and Control Plate
· Fender Bridge
· Gotoh Relic Tuners and Strap Buttons
· Graphtech nut
· Lollar Hum Cancelling Pickup
· Reliced vintage style flat head screws throughout
It's a lovely bass weighing a little over 8 ½ lbs (3.9kg) and I'll be really sorry to see this go and might indeed have a change of heart. It will come with a decent quality gig bag.
Collection is definitely preferred, but I will also be happy to meet halfway (within reason) for some fuel money. Last resort would be a courier.
Here are a few pics from the original owner/builder. Let me know if you want any more detail on anything, or indeed if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking in.
