oldslapper Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Here's something unique put together for me by Alan Hatswell from parts he had over. It's made of composite material (fiberglass and wood), and is a stable as a horses bedroom. I had to finish the build off (fitting machine heads, bridge, reinforce the tail pin, etc) but I paid my local tech to do it as I'm not confident enough. Anyway, it's full scale (41.5"), but has a shorter neck (25", so can get about a b on the G string) and narrower neck than a 3/4, so that the neck can be detached, along with the bridge, strings and tail piece, and packed inside the chambered body. The f hole is spray painted by the way. However, I can't quite do the narrow fingerboard thing, so am offering it up here. It's just looking at me everyday and I feel quite guilty not playing it. The neck size would suit someone new to DB, as it's narrow neck width is not so much of a shock as a 3/4. I have a P bass pickup that comes with it that fits on the end of the neck. It SOLD for £300 posted, or trade for something interesting, like a 6 string bass, mac with garage band, 3/4 double bass hard case, anything else you might want to part with, try me. Obviously some things will need a cash balance (my way I'm afraid). It will be packed in the same box that Alan sent to me. Am very happy to meet up/deliver to say Basingstoke/Bristol/Bournemouth/(B)exeter Happy to try and post some sound clips, but don't know how here, but can do over private email.
