This rig is only a few weeks old and has only been used briefly for a rehearsal. Unfortunately, I'm having to cut back on my gear as a long-term back injury has decided to re-establish itself with vigour! I've just bought a small Genz Benz Shuttle combo, which is ideal for me. The rig consists of an RH450 with the foot-switch, gig bag, two 2x10 cabs with TC covers.

As I haven't been able to sell another couple of basses it is with great reluctance that I now have to consider letting the RIM Marseer go to a good home I only got this a few short weeks ago and it hasn't left the house - only being played a couple of times while life took over and kept me very busy! Anyway, the bass is in mint condition now - there was a very tiny dink on the neck, which has been repaired and is virtually invisible (it was only a very tiny mark to begin with). Spec: Chambered flamed maple body with three-piece flame/rock maple/flame through neck, honey buckeye facings, purpleheart accent and name badge and macassar ebony board. Passive custom[color=#ff0000] [/color]pickups by Aaron Armstrong wired with 4 way Dingwall switch (neck/both series/both parallel/bridge). The tone is variable from a fat growl to funk and beyond - very versatile. You could, of course have a preamp of your choice as there is plenty of room to do that if required. Superb build quality. Weight is very close to 8lbs, with a string spacing of [b]16.5mm[/b] (adjustable) It has a [b]40mm[/b] top nut and a very low action. The neck is a comfortable shallow C-shape and the fingerboard radius is [b]12"[/b]. There is a high quality semi-solid Protection Racket case and a minitorch for the "glow in the dark" side markers.

[quote name='n-h-m' timestamp='1330810562' post='1563414'] You gotta love Sei's - and this one looks like a cracker... [/quote] Sounds every bit as good as it looks The more I play this the more I think I should keep it! Might give it a couple of days, if nobody shows any interest I'll withdraw it (and for those who are waiting for a price reduction...forget it).

Paul has sent another couple of pics now that the rear and face woods are glued. The walnut, for the rear, with heart and sap wood gives a nice two-tone effect. As for the spalted beech burr face... stunning.

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Just thought I'd share the beginnings of a custom build I'm having made from Paul Everson. First off, I have to say how patient and accommodating Paul is after numerous emails each containing different ideas, variations on a theme and totally off the wall ideas until we arrived at the concept we first thought of! However, better to muse on all the different possibilities now before making drastic changes to a near complete bass! [/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Paul sent me a pics of a few possible top woods based on my initial ideas and eventually I settled for the spalted beech burr - pic below. More details and pics as they arrive.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Anyway, the idea is for a 4 string fretless based on Paul's Nouveau style bass. The basic spec is: 4 String fretless bass - "Nouveau" stlye[/font][/size][indent] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Bolt-on neck, non-angled 2 a-side headstock 34" scale 24 fret Maple neck with maple lined ebony fretless fingerboard, mother of pearl side dots Walnut body with spalted beech top wood Gold Schaller tuners and bridge Graphite nut Single humbucker - handwound double-jazz style Two band Kent Armstrong active circuit Three control knobs - volume, treble, bass[/font][/size] [/indent]

First up, I have to say that I am a huge fan of Martin's basses. However, I am not quite getting on with the Singlecut - also known as 'The Melt'! It's a 33" scale, PJ pup configuration, 40mm top nut, red led's along the top edge of the fingerboard. It has custom wound Bare Knuckle P & J. The neck is flamed maple / purpleheart with a birdseye fingerboard. The body is alder with a flamed maple / cocobolo top. The circuit is Demeter 3 band. It's very light - just on the 8lb mark I think. Beautiful to look at and very easy to play. Great tonal range and has just had a complete set-up. This bass was originally built for Alex at the Gallery. I was asking £1400 but, just to move it quickly, I'm asking[b] £1250. [/b]No offers, one price. Comes with a[b] brand new Fusion gig bag. [/b]
