eubassix Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Exceptional instruments!.. lovely to see one here, and a great shame that the Co. didn't continue long after Greg died so prematurely. I had an XT-33 / 5 IEP years back, bought directly from Greg. He once left a message for me (answering-machine, with a mini-tape!) which I had to take to work and have a USA colleague interpret - Greg's S,.Carolina twang was so strong (!).

bassmayhem Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 other than 33" scale, what are the specs for the seven string beauty? - String spacing? - Neck profile? - Weight? - Sale only, or open for trade? Very nice piece of wooden art...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'll be 33" scale - the XT33 refers to the eXTended range of 33 frets (or, in this case 33 positions - no frets; or lines) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice piece of wooden art...! Hi there ! As eubassix pointed out the 33 refers to the fingerboard length (there would be 33 frets). Its a 34" scale and weighs 6 kilos (It's a man's bass for sure). The string spacing is adjustable between 17 to 19 mm. The neck profile is a flat D I'd say - a fast neck so to speak. I prefer to sell it but i'm open to anything in the same ballpark. Cheers Theo Edited May 30, 2018 by amadeusex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing for my old slipped disc and back surgery then... Anyway, good luck with the sale. Now with the additional info someone will take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
