electricbass Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) *SOLD* PAULMAN J6 CUSTOM - HANDMADE BASS £750 Here we have a Paulman custom J6 handmade one off 6 string Jazz style bass, made by the late great Paul Mcnab of Huddesfield. Custom handmade bass Ash body / Flame maple carved top Birds eye maple neck Ebony fingerboard with custom inlays Bone nut Schaller hardware (bridge and machine-heads) Delano SB pickups ACG - EQ2 filter based preamp with passive control (similar to Alembic filter preamp) Weight 12lb Originally made as a 5 string, the bass has been professionally converted to a 6 as the neck width and general vibe of the bass allowed it to be so, in fact it asked for it to be so! It has made it into an awesome J6 tbh! It's a bit heavy for long gigs at around 12lb but if that is not a major concern for you, read on... Originally purchased from Bass Direct a couple of years ago this bass would suit a 6 player who likes a more narrow string spacing, it's 15 - 16mm. It has loads of tone as you'd expect from a huge lump of wood and a filter based preamp and also has a nice bright acoustic tone too. I'm selling up as I'm packing up playing live due to a long term shoulder injury and I only really need one bass. Nice Eden Metro 2x10 combo for sale here too. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/320325-eden-metro-combo-2x10/ I also have three other handmade custom type basses for sale on here at the links below, (links to follow), all four basses are offered up here on BC at £750 each, which I think is very low money for what they really are. It would be easy to find far lesser basses than these at much more money online. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/320306-fodera-style-handmade-bass/ https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/320304-valenti-j4/ https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/320300-zoot-iceni-custom-top-5/ IF YOU PLAY WITH A FAST LIGHT TOUCH AND LIKE A LOW ACTION ON YOUR BASSES, THIS WILL BE UP YOUR STREET! I'm based near Biggleswade, Beds BTW and would prefer collection as it can be viewed in the flesh then too. £750, cash on collection.
