wesfinn Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) I recieved this bass about a month ago and it is absolutely fantastic. the funkmeister is iceni's super jazz the main difference being it has a sweeping heel for easier acsess to the 24 'fret' . 34" scale. Hand built by Mike Walsh in the Iceni Zoot custom shop. the body is american swamp ash and is finished in a custon sunburst with tortoise shell guard. the eq is an 18v EMG and the bass has 2 Aero H series pickups. (amazing tone from these hawaii based pickup engineers). the neck is a lightly birdseyed maple with a very pretty multi laminate skunk stripe. the finger board is ebony and lined with maple. Has Fender F stamp machine heads and an adjustable brass nut. Badass II bridge. schaller strap locks included. this bass plays like a dream and has a very slim neck so is perfect for fast playing. Im not really a fretless player and dont think ill ever pick it up really. such a shame to see such a gorgeous bass go to waste! comes with a kinsman hardcase. pix will follow shortly offers around £1100 (the bass has been played for about 2 hours max and is in new condition) will consider p/x trades...fender custom shop, reissue USA fenders, or anything interesting im based in brighton and veiwing/trying out is welcome.
