SOLD 6 String Custom Bass by Howard (Bass Doc) £450

[Shobaleader One]

Up for sale is my custom built 6 string bass made by Howard Satterly aka The Bass Doc

It looks great, sounds great and feels great - but i now know i have no need of a 6 string.

Howard (bass doc) modeled it on a stripped down jazz bass body but with the same scale length, pick-up placement etc. The idea was that it would be a 6 string bass that would sound and feel pretty close to a jazz bass.

£450 - no trades.

I'm based in Newcastle, and would ideally like to sell to someone local, failing that someone from the north of england who could either collect or meet half way.

Any questions drop me a message

Just thought I'd chime in to say this was one of around 10 basses of this particular design I made back in the 90s and is, I think, the only one in which the circuit was left as passive (although of course the EMG pickups themselves were the active types).

I deliberately left enough room in the control compartment so that a 2-band active circuit could be added with the 4th control completing a 'diamond' shape of knobs on the face.

This might help anyone contemplating buying and taking it a stage further......then again maybe not Still a nice bass though at a fraction of the initial build cost.

Hi arpi,

yes this is a 34" scale bass, and it weighs a little over 4kg (8.8lbs).
