[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]

[quote name='haimesy' timestamp='1330444672' post='1557583'] Hi Pete...I used to own this bass ..Plays like a dream.....small bass world eh!......John [/quote]

Small world indeed!

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]

Thinking of changing my mind! So, while I dither, why not take advantage and get yourself a superb bass? ;0))

Update: Now considering trading the Recurve for a quality Fretless - offers?

Hmm, might just try one last bump before bed...

Tired Tuesday bump...

Putting this up for sale again !

Fretless with medium jumbo frets?

Yup, for medium jumbo fingers

Fender Squier Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz Bass for sale. It's hardly been used but has acquired a light scuff on the bottom of the body, near the strap lock. The scuff is only surface and will polish out. I will do this before the sale but thought I should mention it in all honesty.

Why the quick sale? if you dont mind me asking.
[/quote]

Don't mind at all. Decided on a custom build and, as my existing basses cover my 4 string needs...last in first out.

Sunday afternoon snooze bump!

Nicely polished and looking spruce bump!

Something for the weekend sort of bump

Good morning..........

Putting this back up for sale. Looking to sell my very recent acquisition of an ACG Recurve 4. It's a one piece Black Limba body with a Satin Finish and a Black Limba/Wenge 5 piece neck. Acrylic Impregnated Birdseye Maple finger board with no radius. Hipshot Type A bridge,Ultralite tuners,Schaller strap locks. ACG RFB into an ACG EQ2 3K/S. Low battery indicator.
This is a delight to play with a very smooth, slim neck (think Jazz) a huge tonal range that, with a bit of experimentation, you can get a sound to suit you. Ignore anything anyone has ever said about having difficulties with a filter pre amp, this is fantastic and time spent learning how it works really does pay off. More details and pics from: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/232/"]http://www.acguitars...uk/Gallery/232/[/url]

The bass is light at just under 8lbs. It comes with a hard case, tools and guide to the pre amp. I'll also include a ramp I had made, from the black limba which can be attached with double sided tape.
Only considering selling as I want to fund a custom build.

Looking to sell this to a pair of loving hands, so I'm asking Really do need to move this on fairly quickly.

As it happens, my wife had apoplexy when i said I was about to sell it (it's obviously becomning a family heirloom) so temporarily it's withdrawn from sale and I'll have to sell a kidney or a tonsil to pay for the daughter's uni fees. Thanks for the interest and sorry to mess you about.

Great decision! Keep it because you will only regret selling and constantly think about 'that' Sei you once loved...
