eubassix Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) Nigel Crinson handmade '51 Precision - I think this is the only bass that he's done to date. His guitars have attracted a lot of interest from Fender (!) so I don't think any are currently being built (pending). Local luthier (acoustic violins originally) whose instruments have been getting a lot of positive press. I'm attaching numerous photos which I'm hoping might cover any potential questions. The pickup is a unique (I'm told) BullDog 51-P (the only bass pickup they've done?). There are bridge and pickup covers with the bass (51P type). Not sure re. the authenticity (or make) of the bridge. The only minor parts query I had was that the tuners might not be high-end or 'correct' (?). Comes with a lightweight/molded hardcase (as shown) Although it's not my type of thing, having played the bass it is VERY good: great feel/tone and low, even action. The pickup is powerful and provides a great tonal variety (with accompanying tone control and hand positioning) than I'd expected with a simple 51P set-up. The neck is great - much thinner and quicker than precisions I've played previously. The bass is also pretty light at 8.4 lbs. On-Hold/pending.... then, SOLD Edited January 21, 2011 by eubassix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eubassix Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks H' !! As some might be aware, this is now available again .. courtesy of one vulture, being a creature of ill-repute. Bonus now is that it's fully/carefully packaged .. and ready to go. I understand (and wasn't aware before - infact I didn't even know of Mr. Henry) that Richard Henry ... :- [url="http://www.richardhenryguitars.com/"]http://www.richardhenryguitars.com/[/url] ... was (is) very interested in this instrument and has apparently sold a number of Crinson 6str. guitars in the past. Seems to deal in some choice stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
