For sale is a hand-built 30” short scale bass with a solid walnut body and maple neck. Lightweight, well balanced, and very comfortable to play. Supplied with new Fender shortscale gig bag. Fitted with Tone Emporium pickups and a Bloodstone Guitarworks wiring loom, delivering clear, punchy tone with good definition across the neck. Hardware includes Retrovibe lightweight tuners. I have deliberately fitted custom made pickup rings and control plate so as much of the beautifully figured walnut can be seen as possible. The story of this build photos can be seen in the build diaries section on BC. Finished in nitro clear lacquer and recently set up. This is a one-off, non-factory instrument. Specs: 30” scale One piece Walnut body, oil hand sanded. Elm inlay in the outside long edge of the neck pocket to add a decorative feature and help blend the maple neck into the walnut. Chinese Maple neck & fingerboard - levelled, dressed, polished, fretboard edges rolled and upgraded to 38mm Graphtech Tusq nut by me. New D’addario XL shortscale strings .45 - .105 - String spacing 19mm Gotoh Bridge. The Tone Emporium TE18 pickups Custom pickup rings Bloodstone Guitarworks loom (UK) - CTS USA pots, braided wire, .022uF capacitor Retrovibe lightweight tuners Volume / Tone controls set in custom control plate. Cavities foil lined and earthed to prevent any hum Schaller style strap buttons Condition: Very good overall. Minor cosmetic marks consistent with a thin lacquer and normal handling. Filled bridge screw hole where I have changed the bridge to a branded Gotoh one because I wasn’t happy with the action of the first one and flaw in finish around neck plate from compression as nitro is “troublesome”. Just think of it as relic’d (see photos and accounted for in price). Fully functional and ready to play. Price: £725 Ono Located in Fleet Hampshire. Collection only and try before you buy positively encouraged. If you don’t love it as much as I do then there is no obligation to proceed with buying.
