ikay · March 24

My funky little travel bass is getting less use these days and looking for a new home. I commissioned this from Paul Rose (ProseBass) in 2011 to have something to noodle with on holidays and trips. It's been a loyal little companion over the years! Easy to throw in the overhead luggage on flights. I mostly used to wrap it in a towel and pack it into my suitcase. Here are the main details:

Scale - 30"
Overall length tip to toe - 89cm
Weight - 2,596gm (5.7lbs)
Body - Spanish cedar (natural oil finish0
Neck - maple/rosewood
Pickup - BelCat humbucker
Controls - Vol/tone
Bridge - licensed Steinberger type

It's not the finest luthiery when it comes to finesse (it's a little rough round the edges in some places) but it was never intended to be. It was built to be solid and practical, to withstand the rigours of travel and possibly being thrown about a bit.

It's a really handy bass to have around even when not travelling. I always had it somewhere easily to hand for working out songs or for incidental practicing and twiddling at home. A cool little bass.

Comes with a RockBag which is a tight but snug fit. Price includes shipping in the UK.
