Hi all,

I'm not 100% sure I want to sell this, so this is a bit of a feeler as it's a rather unique bass. This is a custom made Lakestone bass by UK luthier Tony Wright. This was originally made for the late Ian Holden, session player for the BBC orchestra and Dexie's Midnight Runners among others.

The bass is in excellent condition and is of the highest build quality, it isn't light but it sounds superb! The full spec is as below, this came directly from Lakestone guitars:

1. The through neck is a rock maple and purple heart laminate.

2. Birdseye maple wings.

3. Two truss rods and reinforced with 3 carbon fibre rods for stability.

4. Gabon ebony fingerboard.

5. Headstock veneer is maccaser ebony.

6. Machine heads are Gotoh.

7. Pickups are from Kent Armstrong, actually wound by Aaron Armstrong for Overwater guitars. Lakestone had to get permission from Overwater to use them.

8. E.Q. is a 3 band Seymore Duncan. Coil tapped pickups.

9. The bridge was machined from solid brass and it was gold plated in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham.

10. The scale length is 36 inches.

11. Body core is mahogany.

12. Abalone inlay work on the headstock and truss cover.

13. Weight is 6.3kg (exactly 1 stone).

14. Spacing at the bridge is 18.5mm

15. Spacing at the nut is 8.5mm

I'm based in Basildon, Essex and viewing is welcome. It could do with a new set of strings, I would have re-strung it myself but I dont have any strings suitable for a 36" bass.

Any questions, please ask!

Russ.
