Pair of Semi Hollow 4 strings - Fretted and Fretless

It's 00:16 and I've just read this entire thread from start to finish twice and, guess what? I'm going to read it again. -
Pair of Semi Hollow 4 strings - Fretted and Fretless
Frank Blank replied to Jabba_the_gut's topic in Build Diaries
The fretted spalted Jabba bass I bought (to tide me over until I have these two beauts) has fully converted me. As I've said before countless times I was (or so I thought) perfectly happy with the Rob Allen until I played @wrinkleygit's Jabba Fretless, I couldn't believe anything could top it but the Jabba bass was better and clearly so. The fingerboard and necks are divine, as is the rest of the bass. Despite having asked specifically for thumb rests, I've found the design kind of makes you play over the bottom of the fingerboard which sounds lush. -

I watched this the other day followed by I Dream of Wires, a very detailed documentary on synthesisers, particularly modular synthesisers. Two very good documentaries. -

***SOLD*** ACG Recurve Short Scale (32"). Details on the ACG site here No trades thanks. You are welcome to come to my home in Southend to try out and pick up the bass or meet/drive to drop off. I am happy to discuss delivery but I am also happy to drive a long distance to avoid a courier. The bass had a Pro Setup at Guitar Technical Services (IMHO the best guitar tech / luthier in the country) in late Feb 2020 and has been further checked at GTS in 2021 and 2022. It has been recently restrung with Newtone Roundcore Platinum strings .096 .075 .060 .042. Weight - 8.0 pounds (3.6 kg). The bass did not come with a case however I keep it in a pristine Mono Bass Sleeve in ash colour, I will include this for £80 (roughly half-price) if you so wish. The bass was made for @Clarky who will be along in a minute to tell you how lovely it is. Since acquiring a bass built by our very own @Jabba_the_gut the ACG has lingered in the rack, which is a crime, this bass needs to be played. Please feel free to ask any questions or request further photos. Body Top Wood: Cocobolo with Maple veneer Body Wood: Alder Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck Neck Wood: 3 piece Maple Finger Board: Ebony Scale: 32″ Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Hardware Pickups: ACG FB in the neck and ACG FB in the bridge Hardware: Hipshot B Type bridge 19mm spacing, Gotoh GB350 Resolite tuners, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks, Hipshot String Tree, Pre-amp: East UNI-PRE 4K

Why is everyone just pretending the 'problem' is anything to do with music. He is ginger innit.

Ooohh, I get to start a feedback thread, how exciting. Just sold an HX Stomp to @Oomo. faultless comms, seamless prompt payment, I was even offered a cuppa which doesn't happen often as I think I probably look like your default burglar. Deal with absolute confidence. Anyhoo, thanks @Oomo for a perfect transaction and for being a gentleman throughout. You qualify for The Frank Blank Seal Approval. Deal With Absolute Confidence.
