Dean Edge Hammer 10-string £650 Tamworth

[tauzero]

A genuine rarity. A bass for the 5-string player who likes the sound of 8-strings but would like that bit of extra range. I'm thinning the herd and this one doesn't get used. I'd hang on to it if I wasn't being ruthless.

 

Bolt-on construction, quite a chunky neck (as you'd expect), active with volume, blend, treble, and bass. The bridge allows individual intonation adjustment for each string, rather than pairs of strings as some lower-quality instruments do. Action is low. I put new strings on it when I got it and it's been used very little since then.

 

Some small marks on the body and slight dents on the back of the neck, nothing significant though.

 

Mahogany body and neck with oil finish, rosewood fingerboard.

 

It's in Tamworth, close to J10 M42 - I'd prefer not to ship it, but I will travel a bit for a meet up. As this is a herd-thinning exercise, I'm not looking for swaps. Probably.

Completely forgot to put a bit of paper in the photos. Oh well. Belatedly:

I used to have a cheapy 8 string ,and didn’t really gel with it . Sounded a cross between mr. Tambourine man and a Greek wedding.

This looks much better , with better string intonation etc . 
Put this with a distortion pedal ,and you have instant Kings X !
