Almost 100% certain the Pizo isn't wired in at the moment.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I've got all confused Tom, can't work out exactly what you're selling. Does the bass come with the piezo (but it's not wired up at the moment) or is the piezo now long gone? Who is that neck by? I can't read the headstock logo. Why would it need a "pickup cover"? And what does it weigh in its current state? Ta very muchly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomKent Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Piezo is installed but not wired in, using the normal pickups. Neck is by Gak . Photos from the previous owner showed a different neck and a pickup cover. Weight is probably 7kgs ish, pretty heavy.. but worth it for the sound.

Shaggy Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 ooh - one of my old girls! This went through so many permutations I lost track a bit myself, but as I recall it's essentially; -2 piece ash body, with some of the nicest grain I've seen - Gak (Italian) one-piece solid Zebrano neck, with unlined Santos Rosewood (Pau Ferro) board; really nice neck! - Altec Alnico V "vintage" pickup - Piezo bridge, preamp custom made by BC-er I bought it off - Fender red tort p/guard Though Tom may have changed the spec from above, and I know he had it fettled by a luthier/tech Hell of a nice fretless for not much dosh....

Roland Rock Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi Tom, Could you clarify something please? You state earlier in the thread that the body is not '79, and the neck isn't either, so where does the '79 come into it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
