Kithara 'Samson' 30" Scale Bass £1900 Bournemouth

[knicknack]

Up for grabs is this Belfast-built Kithara Samson shortscale bass in Turbine Bronze, as played by the likes of Dave Landreth, Finneas, and Lewis Capaldi to name a few. I'm really torn about letting this go, as it adds something a little different to my collection and is impeccably built, but since it's acquisition two 60's bucket list basses have joined my collection and i just can't justify having them all! I've added a Hipshot Xtender, but still have the original tuner which can be replaced if desired. I will also switch back in the original strap buttons. Currently strung D'addario 45-100, but I have the original La Bella flats and a lighter Dunlop flats set both included. Again, happy to string up and setup to a buyers preference! Includes a fantastic Mono Stealth guitar gigbag. Bronze metallic finish is unlike any i've seen... and changes vastly depending on the light. Seems a little more red in photos than in real life.

 

Collection preferred, well packed courier possible, and i'm around the country for gigs so feel free to ask!

I've been interested in these guitars for a while, and this seems super cool. Alas, I'm getting married next week and all my money is gone 😭
