BassBod Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) Got this one in a trade a few weeks ago, nice bass but not something I need. Medium weight ash body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Aero humbuckers, EMG circuit (bass and treble boost/cut) badass II bridge, Fender tuners and a Warwick brass adjustable nut. [attachment=50730:P1000265.JPG][attachment=50729:P1000261.JPG] The frets have been levelled, and left with pretty flat tops. It could do with another level/re-profile to get it playing its best. The bar type string retainer didn't retain (!) so I've replaced that with a fender type, so there are two small holes in the headstock face. I've also put Dunlop strap buttons on. [attachment=50731:P1000264.JPG] The fretless neck is made from slightly figured maple, with a Tulip wood strip inlayed along the back and a lined ebony fingerboard. Its a very thin profile - too thin for me! [attachment=50733:P1000269.JPG] Comes in a Kinsman generic hard case. Collection from Bristol/Bath area much preferred - pm any questions, although I've got a busy weekend so please don't be offended if it takes a few days to answer questions.

wesfinn Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 This was originally my bass which I sold to Richard (greyparrot). A fantasic super jazz. It was originally a fretless (with the neck provided) however I only needed a fretless for one session and after that I decided to get Mike to swap the neck for a fretted stock neck that he had. The fretless neck was very thin though it played very well when set up. The EMG circuit and Aero pickups are a great combo and sound very Jazz like (I didn't think it was going to originally so was pleasantly suprised when I first plugged it in!) Hope this info is helpful for anyone looking at this bass, Duncan is a great guy to deal with. Oh and the date of manufacture is July 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Does this also work passive? What do the four controls do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 No passive option (but it doesn't sound very very active anyway?) its Vol/Vol/Bass cut-boost/Treble cut-boost. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
