Shockwave Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) More pics at bottom of the thread! Has been my main gigging bass for a while. Its got a lovely flamed maple neck. Used to have a Bartolini but now is wired with a Nordstrand 5.2 pickup. The wiring is slightly different to the average SR5, Most have a triple coil pickup, This one has a dual coil pup, So instead of having a nasal tone in the mid position it has a very dark and dubby sound. The other positions sound exactly as they should. Trans red with black pearloid guard. Its got a huge sound and plays brilliantly. Comes with a Hiscox Liteflite case worth lots. Was born on 6 April 2001 and was originally sold to Guitar Center in Rockville, MD. Would rather this bass was picked up from Bristol. Postage would be used as a last resort. Would prefer a part ex for a nice US jazz and some money. Might consider a Stingray 4 string with the original style bridge. Rob.

Something with a really low action, Decent tone... Maybe a 5 string. Pretty open about things. Wouldnt mind a 53' reissue in 2 tone sunburst, or a G&L L1000 plus some cash.

slaphappygarry Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ok, no bother. The body is only a cosmetic alteration and the john east is an upgrade. It still has the passive (stock) sound of the instrument. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowbee Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I hate when that happens, have a bump on me. It's a beautiful bass and it was even more beautiful when I saw it for real - in fact, you can just about see the Sterling I bought from you next to it in the first pic.
