robocorpse Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Yes, this is the same one Voodoosnake was advertising recently. I took it off his hands as I had always wanted to try one of them out, but it's just not right for me. After some research, it would appear this is rarer than I thought, and might be one of only 3 or 4 made in this config, out of a total production run of around 300 units. It is March 2003 and the neck is straight as an arrow. (Please excuse glare on forearm part of body on 1st and 2nd pic, this is a light reflection.) [attachment=118892:picta 1513 (Large).jpg][attachment=118893:picta 1516 (Large).jpg][attachment=118895:picta 1520 (Large).jpg][attachment=118896:picta 1521 (Large).jpg][attachment=118897:picta 1525 (Large).jpg][attachment=118894:picta 1519 (Large).jpg] Slim Jazz profile graphite neck, Parker gigbag, hangtags and tools. Sitka spruce body with quilted maple face and back Custom Monorail II bridge Graphite neck, 34" scale, 24 hardened stainless steel frets. Carbon/Epoxy fingerboard, 10-15" conical radius Sperzel tuners 1.6" nut width String spacing 0.750" at bridge, 0.442" at nut Polyurethane finish Di-Marzio custom wound active pickups plus 4 element Fishman piezo Weight 7.75 pounds Plays beautifully and looks absolutely stunning. Couple of little dinks (one on headstock, one on bottom rear, in pic 5 and pic 6), but pretty much mint aside from these. As far as anyone can tell, there are less than 5 of these in existence in flametop. Looking for [s]1500[/s] 1450, or part-ex for other equipment plus cash. Looking for: Musicman Stingray or Big Al Ampeg HLF410 or 610 Jackson thru neck bass Charvel Model 2B/3B thru neck bass Peavey 5150 guitar head Charvel Model 5 or Model 6 guitar Charvel "Wildcard" hotrod single p/up version Jackson Soloist (thru neck) Jackson RR (thru neck) Jackson Possibly consider other stuff, depending what it is, but prefer cash, or part-cash.

chilievans Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Nice bass bud. Why would you want to let it go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robocorpse Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 It's just not for me, I have big hands, and I tend to get thumb cramp on shallow neck profiles. It plays like a dream, but I can only do about 15 minutes before my thumb starts aching. It's a shame really, if it wasn't for that, I would have kept this and used the heck out of it!

warwickhunt Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 This used to be mine and if you like slim, thin necks then this is to die for... however if you like a big lump of tree-trunk then it'll not suit. Great bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robocorpse Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weekend bump, there was a lot of interest in this last time round, where you all hiding? [/font][/color] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Sensible offers and part trades considered. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this bass, just not my cup of tea![/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostringsattached Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi I'm new to the site and noticed your parker - I've always been curious about these as Steve Swallow plays one - I think his might have been the prototype devloped by ken parker - anyway - I've got a mint Rosco Beck 5 string jazz - never gigged, fender tweed case - lovely instrument but I have the reverse problem to you - small hands and as a result this neck is a bit of "handful" . Its got a carbon fibre reinforced neck with a pao ferro board incidentally. It was described as the best non-active 5 string on the market when it came out . I'd be interested in a trade. cheers Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robocorpse Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Need to sell this ASAP, will consider part trades, even stuff not on my wantslist, absolutely horrific cash crisis due to splitting up with Mrs and impending house move [/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Very nice! I've got one in spalted maple; plays like a dream and is extremely lightweight compared to my Wal - i.e. less neck ache... Have a bump on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robocorpse Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Weekend bump. Having this baby sitting in its case not being played is frankly criminal! If you like slim necks and something a little different, this might be the last bass you ever buy, it is THAT good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
