wesfinn Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Hi all, i'm debating selling my 5 string custom which was made by myself as a prototype. bit of background: I worked with mike walsh of iceni zoot from the age of 16 till i was 21 and was heavily involved in much of the building work in the custom shop throughout this time. This bass is the first of my own design, originally built as a bass to sell...then i played it and absolutely loved it (i'd never been a fan of 5's before). I plan on building many more basses in the future, just want to get the playing side of bass out of the way first! so this is serial number 0001. the reason i'm thinking of selling this bass is that i am a 4 string player and end up using the B string about 3 times a show! I'm also waiting for a couple of funkmeisters from mike a custom order custom shop fender Precision so a bit of extra cash could come in handy! heres the link to the original buildthread with pix of the finished bass and spec. i have of various stages of the build. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9668&hl=prototype"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;hl=prototype[/url] it's gained a few knocks since but its definitly a players bass! very low action and plays like a dream! WIDE neck As i said just a feeler but i'd like her to be played to her full potential! PM me with an offer if it takes your fancy...hard to price as its the first one! thanks for reading wes (im based in brighton) Edited April 17, 2009 by wesfinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SammyDamacy Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I can confirm if mr wes decides to sell this is at a beauty, really looks quite unique too! Bump for a good guy, let's hope our bass woes are sorted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
