It's a hard bass to photograph so these first pictures here are professional google images photographs.

I've done a couple of trade deals recently with cash my way as one option for me to pull some cash out of the collection so fplease eel free to PM with any trade offers.

Great bass this is, very under rated, very lightweight, certainly the lightest bass I've ever had - will try and find a way to weigh accurately it if interest is shown.

Set neck (so think Les Paul), Mahogony body which is very lightweight (I though Mahogony would be heavy - it's not).
Gotoh hardware, high quality parts and craftsmanship. Do a serach on Farida on this site and I think you'l find nothing but positive comments.
Lovely Farida branded hard case as well that fit's the bass like a glove.

Pics below.


Quite a rare beast - very Spector esque - lovely inlays in the 'board.

Farida basses have been changing hands recently on here for c£200 to £300 and they are the more common, lower spec models, not this Set Neck 'Hypersonic' Range.

[s]So I'm thinking £399 is a good price for a bass of this quality..[/s][b].TRADED!!![/b]

Loads more pics if you want them.

As always, any trial or inspection welcome.

Hi Donovan - as far as I know they are the in house Farida pups - that is to say the pickups are stock Farida / Factory pickups.
They are Farida Active Pickups - handwound.

As you will know by the FJB 6 and others will know from other Farida's they are great pickups, pretty damn beastly.

The P Pickup is thunderous.
The J pickup growls with the best of them.

This bass has an active pre amp in this as well.

I have just played this tonight. What a splendid little critter. For those of you who like jazz kinda necks on a light bass look no further. Very good bass.

Indeed it is - probably suffering from being a bit unknown and 'specialist'
