mr.noisy Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) [font=Helvetica][size=3]It is breaking my heart that I have to do this, over the past few years I had many basses that came and went, but this has been my main pride and joy that I promised myself to keep until I get old. [/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Not going to tell the whole story why I need to sell it, you can have a look at the topic here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/298977-urgent-car-scratch-repair-needed-london-heeeelp/"]http://basschat.co.u...london-heeeelp/[/url] , just a series of unfortunate eventsā¦[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]So this bass was ordered and made for me, I have had a couple of other GMR basses before I ordered this one. It was made to my specs and I have chosen the beautiful buckeye burl top. It would cost you probably more than twice to order it brand new now.[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Itās obviously 5 string with rather narrow 16.5 string spacing, and itās also 33ā scale and it makes it really comfortable to play. It is a single cut construction, but my precision bass is actually heavier than this (itās definitely not super light but I have never felt any discomfort playing even quite long sets), donāt know exact weight but will try to check and update soon. [/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Full specs:[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Buckeye burl top[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Mahogany body[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]5pcs flamed maple neck (neck-thru body)[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Rosewood fingerboard[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Bartolini pickups[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Noll 3 band pre-amp[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]ETS bridge[/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]It is fitted with a nice ramp between pickups - it was made at The Gallery in London and is held by a very thin double sided tape, it can be removed without any marks, I know because I have done it once before. Currently set up B-G but I had it originally made with E-C. Both configurations sounds amazing and there is no need to change the nut. [/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Not sure what else I could say about it, it is my baby, the craftmanship and attention to details is amazing, everyone who had this bass in their hands was totally impressed by it and I always had a lot of positive comments about it. Itās in great condition, of course it does have some small marks here and there as you would expect from the instrument that was played a lot, but nothing that would catch the eye. [/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Anyone is more than welcome to come and try it. Also due to the value I wonāt post it as I donāt have anything for that but Iād be happy to meet somewhere half-way. I am based in NW London, near Brent Cross, just off the M1 and A406. [/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]This is a very urgent sale, so I am open to some offers, it would need to be gone by 2nd Feb, as I will be leaving for a month on that day. I am open to part-trade offers but that would need to be for some budget bass with significant cash amount. Also please check my feedback, I am basschat member for quite a few years now and made some trades here. [/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]Here are some random pictures of the bass, Iāll try to make some proper pictures soon.[/size][/font] Edited January 26, 2017 by mr.noisy
mr.noisy Posted January 21, 2017 Author Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1485032135' post='3220639'] Gorgeous instrument! [/quote] Thank you Kev It didn't hurt as much when I was splitting with my girl a few years back like it does now. Edit: Also want to point out that for a part trade it doesn't have to be a bass, you can hit me up with anything as long as there will be some cash coming my way. Edited January 21, 2017 by mr.noisy
4000 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Beautiful bass. Sorry to hear you have to sell it. At another time I'd have snapped this up despite the fact I'd pretty much given up playing anything with more than 4 strings, but the timing couldn't be worse for me.
Jrdpearson Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 A great bass from a great guy. I've played it and it is wonderful, I wish I could afford it myself!
Dazed Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Really good looking bass, sorry about your circumstances. If the spacing wasn't so narrow I'd be very interested. Have a bump and GLWTS!
bubinga5 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Sorry to hear that Pat. Gorgeous bass. I hope your and good luck with sale.
mr.noisy Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 Thank you very much guys. Cheers Andrew, it's a shame but what can I do... I just had a very nice chap around who came to try it and liked it but he is also going to check some other basses, and I have one more who wants to come over to have a look. Might be gone soon but for now I am still happy to hear any other offers.
4000 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Did you manage to check the weight (assuming it hasn't gone yet of course)?
