Hand made in Italy in 2013. This is a 33” scale 5 string bass, in beautiful condition. Featuring a chambered swamp ash body with olive wood facings, bird’s eye maple fretboard, three piece ash/maple through-neck with purple-heart tone block, and a flame maple rear cap. The electronics are custom wound for W&T dual coil pickups, and an East SP 3 band preamp with passive tone. Gold plated ETS bridge, gold plated Hipshot tuners, there’s a d-tuner fitted too on the E/B string, and gold plated Dunlop straplocks. Weight is 9lb or 4kgs.

The bass is really effortless to play. I’ve tended to have it tuned E to C, in fact I’ve really experimented a lot with different tunings on the instrument. The Low B; or whatever you choose to tune it to, always sounds full and balanced, yet very clear and articulate. 

I’ve included lots of photos and some video, which might give you an idea of how it sounds, though excuse the playing.

I would really prefer collection only, then you can sit and try it for as long as you want, to make sure you’re happy with it.

Agree, w&t are totally fab and Enrico is a top bloke too. There was a period when quite a few were floating around on bc, much quieter now so nice to see Mr olive making an appearance! 

Great pics too, really showcases the bass, well done that man!

Some interest, but still available.

I’m away playing at an event in Stockholm from tomorrow evening until Saturday evening. My dad will be only too happy to oblige should anyone want to call and check it out during my absence.
