BB2000 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Bargain. The custom pickguard alone probably cost £45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could wedge a bit of foam in if you wanted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I'm close to buying the bass - why was the string tree moved - is there a dead spot problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Tut had this to say about the moved string tree: "I had to move the string retainer over a couple of mm on the headstock as it wasn't quite in line" I assumed he meant in line with the slots in the nut. Maybe it was an aesthetic thing rather than a dead spot problem? edit: and if you are interested in the bass do drop me a PM, though there are a couple of people in the queue ahead of you, so...

King Tut Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi guys - I was the previous owner. The string tree had to be moved because it was out of line, and one of the strings (G I think) was close to popping out from under it - which made me nervouse. I'm pretty sure the banding is just the grain of the wood showing through. They're specced up as alder but when (luthier) Andy Viccars saw it, he thought it was ash - although just one 'twang' confirmed it was alder. I only sold it on because with little hands, I couldn't get on with the wide shallow neck. She's a nice bass - I've got some soundclips if anyones interested.
