[b]£700[/b]
I've decided to move back to 5 strings, so am putting up my wonderful 2012 American Special for sale.
These basses are terrific. A lovely thin satin nitro finish on a three-piece alder body. The neck is 41.3 mm wide at the nut and has a lovely shallow, "slim C" shape, which is very playable.
This bass weighs 8.5lbs, balances well on a strap, and sounds terrific. Pickup is the American Standard Alnico Split Single-Coil.
I have upgraded with Hipshot HB7 Lollypop tuners, Dunlop straplocks, and thumb rest. Original parts (apart from the tuners, which have been sold) will be included in the sale though.
Due to the thin finish, it does have some minor marks and bumps, but it's all down to it being such a playable bass!
It's currently strung with Dr Sunbeams, not the flats shown here. Pick not included in sale
Due to the upgrades, I am asking [b]£700 firm[/b] for this beauty, including a Mono Sleeve, collected from NE Hampshire. Happy to post at your expense (about £15).
[b]I'd be happy to trade for a 5 string ACG, fretted or fretless, in Krell or Recurve styles. [/b]
Thanks all
Gareth
