Muzz Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) OK, so it's coming up to Xmas, I've got a new bass imminent and SWMBO has (for once) spoken up about the numbers of basses chez nous. As a compromise, I've agreed to a 'one in, one out' for the time being (I'll work on that later ) so the 12 is for sale. It's an extraordinary instrument, the 12-string bass - if you've never owned one I can recommend giving it a go: they make a sound like nothing else. Neck is surprisingly playable, too, which makes it useable for more than the compulsory 'Jeremy' riff... It's pretty much unmarked, has EMG hz pickups and an active 3-band EQ, Grover tuners, a brass nut and generally feels very solid at a bit over 10lbs. The neck is maple with walnut stringers, and the body's mahogany with a flamed maple cap. It also has separate bridge saddles for the octave strings, which means the intonation's much improved over the old 8-strings I've used in the past. It comes in a hard case, and I'll throw in a brand new set of D'Addario strings (which were £36). I'd like £350. I can post fully insured to the mainland for £20.

Muzz Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 Nope, Warwickhunt's going for the full CT effect...
ahpook Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) just to chime in that i've got one of the 8-string rhapsody basses and it's lovely - wish i had the cash for a 12ver ! good luck with the sale. Edited December 7, 2011 by ahpook
Muzz Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 Blimey, things drop off the front page quick these days, don't they? Beurmp...
Muzz Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 Neck dive is surprisingly very very little - I know the first time I saw the headstock for real I thought 'here we go' (I had a Washburn B20-8 back in the day, and that was just evil, despite having 4 tuners at each end), but it's very manageable - I think having the bass quite high (for me - about on the hip) helps, too. I've just looked at my photos again, and the perspective [i]does[/i] make it look very long in the neck/head. I've added a more realistic pic (not of mine, one I found at a better angle, but it's the same thing) to the main post.
