I picked this up from eBay for a project, but all projects are on-hold while I work over a Travis Bean. It transforms normal teles (or any guitar that uses the same scale length) into a true baritone with a 27.78" scale. I think it's the cheapest way to get a decent quality baritone. It's one of these: [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/allparts-guitar-amp-parts/necks/guitar-necks/baritone-neck-for-tele-p-2655.html"]http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/all...ele-p-2655.html[/url] It looks like it's only been very lightly-used. It comes without tuners or nut (although it has had both fitted at some point). Rosewood board. £60 posted to the UK.

On eBay tomorrow!

N7. Easy for Victoria Line, Piccadilly Line or the A1/A406.

Price dropped again for a pre-Xmas sale.

BUMP

Price Dropped to help this move out.

[quote name='karlfer' post='659847' date='Nov 20 2009, 07:55 AM']Hello Dangerboy. I am very close to having a punt, so some answers if you would be so kind. Is the truss rod working? Are all the electrics good, pick ups working individual and together. What is the action like at 1, 12 or 17 frets. Whats it like to play (subjective I know) Would you accept a cheque(I would happily wait for it to clear) as it's a long way from Wigan to London.[/quote] Hi. I haven't ever used the truss rod. The neck is straight, so I guess that it's working. Electrics are good. I had a go with all the switches and knobs earlier. I'll take some measurements of the action - I would say that it's a medium at the moment, but I've never really worked to bring it down (I just rock out, and my gf likes this bass the way it is). To play? It's not too heavy. It sounds very Rick-like. I love it - but then I only play with a pick. Your mileage may vary! Cheques are fine by me.

Price Drop!

Bridge pickup pics! Note to self - make sure to take out tiny black screw that has jumped onto the magnet. Then ask girlfriend how it got there. Is this real? Help me Obi Jon Kenobi, you're my only hope!

Hi Jon, I reckon the finish is a transparent blue over clear. Where it has flaked off it's revealed a glossy clear layer. No idea who did it or when. The height adjuster screws fit fine - but they didn't when I played with this saddle-section on another faker bridge. I guess this one has more accurate dimensions? Off to take pics of the bridge pup!

FINAL PRICE DROP BEFORE CONSIGNMENT OR EBAY- NOW SOLD I bought this bass 3 years ago, sold it one year ago to my girlfriend, and now it's back, because she has double bass repair bills to pay, and no basschat account! Some history - the previous owner sent me a picture of this with 'CMI' on the headstock. Unfortunately this had been scratched off by the time it got to me, so I've replaced the TRC with an 'interesting' one from a man in Italy. I'm told it's not real, and I believe this, but it looks really nice and somehow balances the bass well visually. I tried plain white and it never looked right. Similarly, I've replaced the pickups and the saddles-section of the bridge (what do you call that?) with parts that sellers on here (pickups, a long time ago) and eBay (saddles) tell me are genuine Rick. But I can never be sure - I don't have an original to compare. The tuners are also replacements - when I got it there were mini schallers fitted, two of them upside-down! These are far-eastern generic things. Good points: The thru-neck The colour (!) The thick gloss on the fretboard The inlays The sound Bad points (all by a previous owner!): The bridge has been lowered by routing underneath, in order to make the action lower. The rout is fine, but it has left the finish messy around the bridge The bridge pickup surround has been cut back to allow a lower action I don't like the knobs There's a thin crack in the scratchplate Only one truss rod Given the additions and the unique colour I'm looking for SOLD. I'm in london, and am happy to meet pretty much anywhere in this fair (?) city for handover.

I bought this guitar second-hand a couple of months ago as a fun way to try out a 12-string. It turns out that I'll never get the chance to play it (because I love my new 6-string so much that I have foresworn all other guitars). This is a Gordon Smith, 24.75 inch scale, single humbucker, recently re-strung with rotosounds. It looks like a mahogany body and one-piece set maple neck. Apologies for the pics - the full-length ones seem to have come out pretty dark. The body shots look good, though, and really reflect the real colour. A few BCers own Gordon Smiths (I think) and I've never read a bad word about them. I think the new price of a guitar like this would be over £500, and this guitar is in really good condition - there are some barely-noticeable scuffs on the bottom of the guitar and a couple of marks on the pickguard. I'm looking for [b]£200[/b] for this. I'm based in London and can meet centrally most days. I'll happily post it, which will add a bit to the price.
