walplayer Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) I know i'm gonna regret this ,this is the only bass i've consistently enjoyed playing apart from the Wals. Chris has only made around 250 basses in 30 years,so most of you probably not came across one before. Made by hand in Co. Kerry [url="http://chrislarkinguitars.com/"]http://chrislarkinguitars.com/[/url] Chris' work is some of the best i've seen ,and his Blen E.U.B. is awesome too. Original Kent Armstrong pick ups ,3 band active (bass, mid, treble) controls ,volume (pulls up for passive),pickup pan ,passive tone.Has a few little dings in finish but pretty much all in the back(and some crazing of the lacquer too on back) Gorgeous Figured maple over mahogany body,and the finish/colours are incredible Has light strings on at moment and a nice action . Will get some more pics up soon,the finish has more blue in than the pics suggest depending on the light it's in.These are just under 2grand new Any interest pm me looking for £780 !!! now £650!!!!

RayFW Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 That is fabulous. Is it a versatile beast or does it have a distinctive tone? Any soundclips? I take it that it is neck through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walplayer Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Hi after putting some heavier strings on the other day ,i removed the truss rod cover to give the neck a tweak,to find that a previous owner has rounded the truss rod nut unfortunately,so until i get it sorted think is only fair to withdraw it from sale. In one way i wish i'd not changed the strings (never had cover off it before)but i think is probably good job i discovered it. if can be sorted(?)an i put it back up will let you know,never had this problem before just hope haven't got to have fingerboard off! The set-up is ok on it,i just wouldn't want to sell it on without the truss rod working properely(especially if is an expensive fix!)
