Owen Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) This is a lot of bass for the money. I have waxed lyrical about them whenever they come up. It is light (8lbs 5.5oz) and has a fairly flat fingerboard. The neck has an asymetric carve on the back and has the Buzz Feinten intonation system. 35" scale. When I bought it originally it an MM type of humbucker in it (this will come with the bass). I will now list all I have done to it. Rout body to accept Seymor Duncan MM pickup. 2 x MM pickups = more betterer, obv. Drilled body to accept Active preamp. Got bored and took original pickup and SD pickup and preamp out and put a custom wound Armstrong P pickup in there. Installed an empty shell to cover the hole left by the SD pickup. Vol + passive tone (with funky chicken head knob) , spare hole so dummy pot + knob to fill hole and a KILL SWITCH because there was another spare hole. Did I mention a KILL SWITCH? The strings are "dead as" TI Jazz rounds (not flats) and they have a lovely springy sponginess to them. There is a D tuner on the B which slides down to A very easily. It is a silver one. But let's not get too fussy. So, yeah, this is not factory fresh but it is a really nice bass. So why am I selling? I just do not use it as I have others. If I had any backbone at all I would sell my two 4 strings as well but..........well...........maybe one day..................... It is very black if that kind of thing floats your boat. I do not NEED to sell this so if it does not shift then my world will not stop turning. It will go when it goes. As I have mentioned it is an awful lot of bass for the £ and if it was my only bass then I could be more than happy with it. Quite fancy it you know you do.
