Torzal through neck 4 string bass £1500 Northampton

[BCH]

Torzal through Neck 4 string bass (AKA Little guitar works)

I purchased in 2023 because I developed carpal tunnel /RSI (a gig more than 30 min was impossible and I had pain for days after) It solved the pain problem, its easy to play and allowed gigs up to 2.5hrs with no pain or aftereffects. As a result, I ordered one which arrived last year.

The twist is -20 degrees neck & +10 degrees @ bridge. Very natural playing position, you will benefit even if you do not yet have issues!

Very high spec & quality with all the control & excellent sounds. Very good conditions, with some dings. 3.5kg (the last pic is not my bass but shows the twist)

I contacted Jerome Little (the luthier) who kindly sent me the 2018 build order form. + E tuner extender and Dovetail battery cover

Any trial or questions

Let me guess, something is wrong here.

 

One rare bass, by the way.

actually i'd love to sattle up my mare for a ride to Northampton, sir 

 

'cause even this genius design & craftmanship needs to be played by own's hands, i guess...

 

...hum...does it really? 

 

highly(!) tempted greetings from Bremen/Germany,

Oh my goodness...

 

9 years ago I broke my left wrist and it's had limited mobility ever since.

I wonder if this might be the instrument I've been looking for all these years?

 

Might it be possible for me to come to you and give it a test drive some time?
