This unique bass first went on sale here by its builder Dave Wilson in February 2015: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/255335-sold-firecreek-custom-5-string-p-bass-sold/"]http://basschat.co.u...ng-p-bass-sold/[/url]

Specifications as originally provided:

- 34” scale
- 19mm string spacing at bridge
- 9mm string spacing at nut
- 21 frets
- 12” board radius
- Absolutely stunning flame ash body, super rare in this quality
- 5 piece hard rock maple neck with black accents, perfectly quarter sawn
- Padouk fretboard, very similar to rosewood just a bit more red
- Oil and wax finish on the body
- Spirit finish on the neck, feels so good like bare wood but protected
- Nordstand NP5 pickup
- Russian NOS PIO cap
- Alpha pots
- 4.8kg

I found this bass to be resonant and with powerful output for a passive instrument.

Currently strung with Fender 9050-5M flatwounds.

There is just one small thing to note: in order to intonate the bass with flatwounds, the saddles needed to be set quite far back, so I removed some of the adjuster screws/springs. This is not a practical problem in any way, as the string pressure holds the saddles firmly in place. The loose screws/springs will be included.

Price includes a used hardcase and shipping within UK.

Here's a link to a dozen or so photos taken this evening:

I noticed a couple of small things:

- The headstock decal is peeling off slightly
- There is a nut shim made of card.
