alembic1989

I imported this beauty about a year ago from a guy in Canada. It is a really high spec bass, and looks completely wicked. Unfortunately It is not for me.. I want a single coil sound...so its up for trade here. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=57461"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=57461[/url] Check out the pics though

Here are some pics of my Morley pro flanger...I have owned it from new (1980). it's mains operated and the pedal can be operated in "auto mode"...or "manual mode"...here the sweep rate of the flanger can be controlled manually using the foot pedal. This is a "proper" Morley (pre 1983)..and is a really pretty unique piece of kit. I even have the original box, manual and packing!! there is hardly a mark on it. I will be putting it up for sale eventually (er...but then again maybe not..but the again...etc...).

Whats going on with the B string at the bridge? EDIT: Just read the thing bout no sound clips. Perhaps someone living near this fella with recording capabilities might be able to help in this area????[/quote] the maker used a warwick tailpiece (I think)..and the fat low B is just a little too fat for the slot....

I think it looks nice.

Bought this bass a while back and had it upgraded with an East preamp. It has a huge sound and very hifi sounding. It is a real beauty, the woods are killing . and I love the way the thru body design spills over on to the fretboard. The top is rippled olive wood, and the back is figured bubinga..and it weighs an absolute ton....but I sort of like heavy basses anyway.

[quote name='ped' post='544198' date='Jul 18 2009, 06:40 PM']Great bass and obviously one you feel really 'at home' on because of the time you have spent working with it. It looks very tactile and funky. I would love to try one! ped[/quote] next time you are in the windsor/slough area pop round for tea and play it...

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='544199' date='Jul 18 2009, 06:40 PM']Wishbasses come unfinished, having him finish it is an extra, and he doesn't advise it (I wouldn't either), much better to consider them a blank with all the machinery requiring part done for you. I took a week ever christmas saning mine and then a few evening over a month feeding it oil, pretty pleased with how it came out. I like the thick neck, like a big classical guitar. What woods are there? Mines a purpleheart/maple neck with maple walnut sandwich body wings.[/quote] Hi, I like the fat neck too. The woods are nicely figured mahogany for the top...and some really cool green poplar for the back..it is a really amazing green colour with some nice figure. I think the neck is the same as yours (maple/pupleheart). I did the same as you..about a week of sanding and feeding it with oil (teak oil) and then finally finishing wax.
