Custom 33" scale Fretless bass £600 NE Hampshire

[mybass]

I've made quite a few basses over the years, mainly fretless and I use them all the time for live and recording work.

This build was to see how a 33" scale bass would work out over my usual 34" scale basses.

The smaller body and scale length is very nice to play, maybe  good for someone wanting a fretless now and then in the set.

Selling because....I'm still into my old and newer 34" scale basses so before scavenging parts off this one for a new build, I feel I'd rather sell it on.

The specs will show its got all top parts and woods...I think all this wood and parts would cost about £600 before making them into a bass.

You are welcome to try the bass of course...tea available!
