For sale is this beautiful bass. I bought this bass last year, had it set up, checked over, had the frets leveled, the whole thing. After a while however I realized I want something a bit more old fashioned and passive.
These are the specs:
Custom body (two part mahogany with a flame maple cap) made by luthier Paul Rose
Lakland Joe Osborne Neck (satin finish)
USA Hipshot Ultralite tuners
USA Hipshot A style bridge
Bartolini Pickups
18v Aguilar OPB-2 preamp, Vol/Vol - Bass/Treble - Active/Passive Switch.
Much of this was fitted by the excellent Martin Peterson at The Gallery.
It produces tones similar to a Stingray, with a lovely amount of growl, but with the added flexibility of being able to adjust the volume of each pickup individually, which, when combined with the 18v preamp, gives a huge range of tones. This bass plays incredibly well, the neck has the classic jazz feel and the satin finish is lovely. It is currently strung with Dunlop Super Brights with low action. There are a few small battle scares on the body due to it being treated wood and not lacquer, but they are mostly minor scuffs that could easily be buffed out and oiled, I have pictured any that stand out.
Comes with a slightly messy but fully functional and structurally sound Hiscox flight case, as well as a teardrop, stingray style scratch plate.
Looking for a sale, but will consider a trade for a 4 string Precision, Fender preferred but other brands considered.
I am based in Dorchester, Dorset, I can meet up in a reasonable radius. Can deliver at buyers expense.
