thedontcarebear Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Been busy moving house, messing around with stupid rc cars and buying a new car recently, so not done much in regards of bass, but did put this together not long ago. Spec is.... Alder Body with Flame Maple top Special finish top with transparent brown back Goncalo Alves neck with Ebony fretboard Straight 10” radius 6150 frets White corian nut Gotoh 201 Bridge (black) Schaller BML Tuners (black) Schaller Straplocks (black) Seymour Duncan STC-2 Preamp (18 volt) Bartolini 9J1 L/S pickups It has a very deep sound to it, but doesn't get played much as I always use my Sandberg nowadays. Was immense fun putting it together though, enjoyed that a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 WOW..i love this bass!!! If you dont mind me asking how much did it all cost. Did you import it from the states???? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Most the stuff was from Warmoth, I already had the preamp, and I got the pick-ups from ebay (America though again), not sure on total cost, but wasn't at all cheap especially when being hit by the import tax when it arrived, I gave up trying to work out what I paid when I realised that it was must be a lot, haha, could have got an American Fender Jazz instead for less I am sure, but that wouldn't have looked so stunning.

Gonna have a mess around with it this weekend again as I wasn't happy with the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_of_the_bass Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Having now become the keeper of this incredible bass, I'd like to thank Adam for his work on it - it really is superb - sounds fantastic! Nice one. Nick O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
