Merton Posted August 26 Posted August 26 (edited) Price drop - £1150 For sale only, no trades please. This is a superb medium scale, lightweight (7.7lb) take on a jazz from the stable of Mike Walsh/Zoot. Back in around 2018 I was hankering after a more traditional looking bass but being a convert to shorter scales it wasn’t so easy to find exactly what I wanted. Hence this commission, which has been a gorgeous bass to have in the family. Fast forward 7 years and things have changed a little, and I’m finding that the gigs where this was used are either no longer happening or I’m using my new ACG. In excellent condition bar a couple of very tiny marks which I’ve tried to picture. So, what is it? Mike’s Funkmeister body shape has been around a long time, with people speccing a variety of options over the years. This is the second medium scale he made, and it features a slightly slimmed down body vs the full scale model. Full specs: Idigbo body One piece maple neck Ebony board, bound with MOP blocks Nordstrand Big Split pickups Hipshot KickAss bridge Hipshot Ultralite elephant ear tuners Passive Vol / Vol / Tone Gloss black finish BWB scratchplate Dunlop straplocks The neck is ultra slim, so combined with the low weight this makes for a superbly playable instrument. It’s currently strung with some Status rounds, 40-100, and will be supplied with a gig bag. Collection in person from Merton Towers is preferred, so you can come and play it and be 100% happy. I’m about 5-10 minutes off the Gatwick junction of the M23. If you want it delivered, let’s talk and work out a suitable solution. Edited September 9 by Merton Price drop 12 Quote
eude Posted August 27 Posted August 27 This is a cracking bass, at an awesome price, and @Merton is a top bloke. Thoroughly recommended. 2 Quote
asingardenof Posted August 27 Posted August 27 I have had the pleasure of hearing @Merton play this live and it sounds very nice indeed. Also he's a throughly decent chap, so there's two great reasons to consider this. 4 Quote
