Henrythe8 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Have a bump on me, just installed an EMG BTS on mine. It just went from TO A great bass you can mod because you wouldn't do it to an Alembic. Edited December 21, 2015 by Henrythe8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMG456 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Somewhat bemused by the fact that this is still here... is it because the refinish and the black pickup covers makes it look a bit different from the classic "woody" and cream look of the '70s Curlees? If that's so, this bass would be so easy to restore - just take the laquer off the body and oil it to a natural satin finish. Buy cream pickup covers for a few quid and there you go. Instant 1970s! I sold my Curlee to help fund a major bass purchase back in the 80s and when the purchaser offered it up for sale in the early 2000s, it came back home, and will only leave when I leave! In case anybody doesn't know, it's a medium scale bass - about 32" scale length and the excellent DiMarzio model P is positioned right about where a Music Man Stingray would have it's pickup if the 'Ray was that scale. This gives a very punchy and tight sound coupled with great playability. Incidentally, Scott Beckwith of US short scale bass specialists Birdsong Guitars has acquired the intellectual property and entire inventory of what was left when SD Curlee went out of business. So you can now buy a brand new US made Curlee again - it'll cost you a lot more than this one! Here's his website with an SD Curlee history page.

ovialexm1 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 I do not mind to keep it if will not sell for my last price (£550). I spent a lot of money to refinish this bass. Sounds incredible good and very agresive. The most agresive bass I have (and I have 2 Warwicks, Spector, Rickenbaker, Fender Precission etc.). This bass is simply a beast!
