[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1469776943' post='3100932'] Found a set of digital food scales that weigh up to 5kg. Good news is the bass doesn't weigh more than that!! It weighs 4.2kg or even more accurately 4232g! [/quote] So about 9lb 5oz in old money. Not bad. Not bad indeed.

Thanks Dropzone. Quite a few interested in this bass, most trying to raise funds. Proof of provenance has been supplied to some folk privately, including one of the videos of it in action. Some measurements have been requested by folk so I'm going to put them here. Disclaimer - all measurements done with dodgy 58 year old eyes Nut width 38mm Width at 12th fret approx 53mm Depth of neck at 1st fret approx 20mm Depth of neck at 12th fret approx 21mm Diameter at 1st fret (from top of fretboard E, to top of fretboard G, ie max measurement) approx 60mm Diameter at 12th as above approx 80mm In summary, it's kind of jazz neck, somewhere between a C and D profile Cheers, Karl.

I had a Purple Heart Conklin 7 string in the late 90's. Absolutely incredible bass, beautifully made. That is a truly amazing price for a bass of this quality. GLWTS.

Come on Kert, get round to the lady next door and hang it off her luggage scales (fnarr fnarr, as some might say ) Your public expects

You're back off hol then Weight Martyn, come on, your fans expect!

Splendid!

Further pm's replied, thanks for all the interest folks. My gear needs have changed since last night, so, I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE A GREAT PART EX DEAL on a Barefaced Gen 3 Super Twin (preferably with cover and cloth front) or perhaps an immaculate Compact + Midget, or two Compacts.

Wondrous beasts

Thanks chaps. All PM's replied to, thanks for the interest. To the chap who queried how much I was asking for this bass, well, I have a photo of the invoice, dated Oct 2011. It was £4077, so I reckon it's worth the £1200 it owes me. I do think it's worth a tad more than a (very nice) 00's Japanese Precision and £300. I have cleaned some of it, some still to do. I've put the backplate back on correctly, done some minor set up work, including lining the strings up with the pup poles. Should have done this stuff before the photos. Hey ho. Cheers, Karl.

[/quote] Cheers Damon [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1469470794' post='3098607'] It's got Marvel straplocks too, I use them and they're the best imo' lovely bass Karl. GLWTS mate, probably weighs more than Wigan? ( I jest ) [/quote] Sorry to disappoint Tom, an almost sylph like 8lb 6ozs [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/003_zpsxvzck1du.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/004_zpsonlpbtja.jpg.html"][/url]

I got this in an upwards trade. Warwick Custom Shop Corvette $$ with LEDs. Issues, missing treble rotary (on it's way from Warwick), I will forward to buyer There is some paint wear on the front. Some headstock chips. It's mucky, it won't be on delivery. Please bear in mind this is a SANDBLASTED finish so the body surface has rivulets in it. For interested parties I will provide a photo of the original invoice for £4077 in 2011. I will also provide a photo of the original delivery note. I did my best to price up all the options yesterday, with yesterday's £/Euro exchange rate and it comes to a scary £6017 . I'm the second owner. It was made for an in a well known rock band, who's 1st three albums went gold. It owes me £1200 cash. It REALLY is not for me, far too much going on. Two pups, vol (pull for passive), blend, mid, treble, bass, two 3 position switches which I guess are series/parallel and, er, summat else DOH, EDIT! Weight, a rather back friendly 8lb 6ozs. TRADES/PART EX. A Barefaced Gen 3 Super Twin is top of the list. Other Barefaced happily considered. Precision, esp 50's style. Please try me. Any trial in Wigan. COURIER. This thing comes in one of those Warwick massive cases, that weigh the same as a Ford Focus. Potential buyers would need to organise their own insured courier. Thanks for looking, Karl.
