Duroc17 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Tele Bass luthier custom build by James at Electric Relic Co for sale. I had this made by Electric Relic to my spec. A lot of thought (too much really) has gone into this bass. I wanted a Tele bass with body contour in a natural colour. Very hard to come by and originals now go for silly money. I’ve decided to list here as finally found a natural PB70 CIJ after owning a superb cream one - but after missing out on bids got one from Bass Bros. SO now it's not getting the love it deserves - i've got the custom thing out of my system Featuring a lovely biscuit colour that looks like roasted maple and aged to perfection. Maple neck super smooth with chunky but not baseball bat dimensions- no fret sprout and intonation all good from the original type bridge. No fake decal but you’re free to add one. Nitro finish. An alder body to keep weight down to approx 8.5lbs so a lot lighter than the original Tele bass. String through body. Strung with la Bella low tension flats. Custom aged pick guard. Cloth wiring and CTS pots and the secret sauce is a 0.10 orange capacitor and handmade overwound (7500k) Fralin pickup which gives this that Motown thump and bigger output than any P I’ve played, it’s a dream to play and sounds immense, warm and huge. ADDED pic without guard This bass attracts a lot of attention at gigs and had great compliments about the sound from other bassists. id prefer you come and play it and are happy before buying - it’s a lovely thing. Comes with a brand new Gator soft case Also can take stickers off if you want they won’t mark the guard. All aftermarket parts except Squier CV neck and tuners (I asked for this as played one before and like the profile) which cost £800 then £450 to put together and art of making it look so great (happy to supply invoice as proof). So I’m taking a big hit on what I paid so price is firm. Also shipping only to UK. PayPal friend fam preferred. Get yourself a brilliantly luthier made custom bass at more than a third of the price of a Fender Would consider swap for JMJ Mustang or Vintera Mustang or funky short scale to back up my CIJ for palm muting vibes Edited September 25, 2022 by Duroc17 price and more info 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
