This is a great bass for jazz/orchestral playing. I've owned it for 7 years now, bought from Tim Batchelor in Leicester, and had several jobs done on it. The bass bar has been replaced which has given it more bottom end. It has an adjustable bridge with a FULL CIRCLE pick up, & had the fingerboard shot, all by Samuel Wells at Roger Dawson's workshop. It has the original Pine Top, Scroll (quite worn) and Sycamore Back & Sides. The appearance is quite mottled, with many dents and it show
