cardinaljay Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) I purchased this bass guitar around a year ago and have gigged it only once or twice. No other reason for selling other than I want to put the funds towards a wonderful relic project P Bass on here. I have recorded with it too and I am so shocked - it reminds my of another bass I have played before.. whoever made it has ecaped my mind. Oh, please excuse my cat called Rick in the picture below. . . I'm not joking, it he is called Rick THIS BASS IS NOW SOLD I live in Suffolk and would prefer collection or meeting up half way. Delivery can be arranged. My cat called Rick is not included! [center][b]Things about the bass[/b][/center][list] [*]Thru Neck - very playable with low action [*]Superb finish including binding on the neck and chequered binding on the body [*]very responsive pick ups - looks like my toaster [*]All electronics are very well put together and there's no crackles etc [*]Terrific build quality [/list] [center][b]Pictures of the bass[/b][/center] Any questions, I can talk so either call me on 07792 179950 or send me a message. Thanks for reading, Jay PS - No I am not a Cardinal Edited June 5, 2012 by cardinaljay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziphoblat Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Rick's back looks a bit shiny in that first picture, is that really a genuine fur coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinaljay Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Just before I head to bed, I had a message asking if I had the pick up cover... you know, the one that makes the bass frustatingly uncomfortable to play... the answer is, yes I do.

[/quote] Yeah - I used to have a 4thousand1. With this bass there's no double truss rod, the fretboard isn't laquered and the bridge imo is more friendly. The bridge pick up is also screwed into the body. On my 4thousand1, whilst playing aggressively, it kept failing down into the cavity which was annoying - no such problem here. I also find the bridge pick up is easier to play over - no sharpish edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinaljay Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 This was recorded through a video camera mic - the amp I am using is a Stagg busking amp which should be used for guitar. You'll get an idea of what it sounds like. Sounds quite like a bass Bruce Foxton used to play, or that chap from Yes. Ah - my memory. . .

cardinaljay Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 At 31 seconds (the song with the harpsichord, Sherry Beatty) you can hear what it sounds like in the studio - recorded through an old Fender Bassman 100.
