You could start your sixer adventure with far worse than this. The bass is tonally outstanding and is far easier to play than the fretboard width might make you think.

Now £865 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've had this bass for quite a while now, but as much as I love everything else about the bass, the ergonomics just aren't suiting me; the 6'er body is just a bit too big for my short arms.

BUy Me Please!

Thanks, Peter. I can't see that there's much for you to feel bad about. I must admit that had I been made aware of the truss rod anomaly by the seller I might have been put off, but now that I've experienced it and sought the opinion of the luthiers I'm no longer concerned. The tone is amazing and despite its size, the neck is so easy to play.

Thanks GK. I wish I'd worn this well at 30 yrs old!! I'm going to play this in anger tonight so a U turn could be on the cards if I can only figure out how to wear it to reduce the impact on my right arm.

Updated trade options.

Thanks, Chris. I have to say the tone surpasses my expectations by a mile, but alas my short arms.....!

Only just got this, but I know straight-away that the ergonomics just aren't going to suit me; the 6'er body is just a bit too big for my short arms.

Is that 4 identically constructed basses with different PUP / pre combinations? Absolutely fantastic playing of an incredible instrument!

Are you selling two of these basses? I can see two ads, one selling for €800 and this one at €700??

Lovely bass, but I think you need to put a sale / trade value in the ad.
