ShaunB Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, Reduced to £650 +. The bass is in great shape: a couple of small nicks in the back and some little marks on the head. I'll send some pics if needed. Anyways, here you go (spec from Lee's ad from November '07): Swamp Ash Body Transparent Blue Finish Maple neck with Maple fretboard Satin Finish on neck Nordstrand NP4 Precision Pickup Aguilar OBP-1 preamp Controls: volume, bass, treble Hipshot HB-1 Tuning Keys Hipshot D-tuner Gotoh Quick Release Bridge Black Pearl Pickguard Black Hardware A VTC (vintage tone control, see Sadowsky's website for more info as it's the same as theirs) has been fitted since the famous "wooden floor" pics - I bought it already sorted. 18V of amazing tone. Jack repositioned. I hope Lee doesn't mind the use of his pic to show the pre.

markbass555 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi, What width is the neck at the nut. Is it typical p bass dimension or jazz? Cheers DAve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunB Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi Dave, The measurement at the nut is 44mm or 1 3/4" - so pretty much P-bass. cheers Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbass555 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks for that. The VTC is it push pull or how do you change from active to passive? I am very interested in this just trying to jusitify it to myself at the moment lol!!!

DAve[/quote] VTC works in active or passive mode, you pull the tone up to get it into passive mode. Or at least I think you do that's how I remember it when this bass was mine.
