Custom made (by guitarandbassbuild.co.uk) 5 string telecaster bass in 72 style. 

 

Babicz bridge, Lace Alumitone pickup, wenge neck, swamp ash body. Neck profile is based on a Fender modern C. Nitro finish which has had some basic relicing done by me with a set of keys and compressed air. Neck is deliberately unfinished, wenge doesn't require it and it feels lovely. Fretboard is ebony.

 

Sounds immense! It doesn't have strap buttons as I only ever used it in the studio and therefore never got round to drilling them. One minor issue: I wired the volume knob the wrong way round so you have to turn it anti-clockwise to turn it up. I never got round to fixing this after watching someone else pick it up and get confused - I have a perverse sense of humour. Comes with both white and black scratchplates.

 

It isn't a lightweight though, which is probably why it sounds so good - comes in at 4.7kg on my bathroom scales.

 

Not really looking for trades as I have all the gear I need but never say never! Would potentially be interested in a trade with cash your way for something vintage.

How does the neck hold up? Always thought with the tension from the C string would require a second truss rod. 

The neck is fine, no problems at all. In fact, I've never had an issue on multiple basses, I've been playing exclusively E-C for about 15 years. Also, particularly relevant for this bass, wenge is incredibly strong as a neck wood.
