neepheid Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) For sale is a bass I put together from a body/neck I got from eBay and parts I collected up to put this together. This is the only pic I have to hand, but I'll get some better ones up (and hopefully some soundclips) soon: The skinny: Body: Unknown woods - nice bookmatched top on a lighter, plain wood. Shellac (french polish) finish. Neck: 20 fret maple/rosewood, P width. Shellac (french polish) finish. Hardware: Hipshot: Ultralite tuners, string retainer, A-style bridge (string through or top load) Neck pickup: Seymour Duncan Alnico MM Bridge pickup: Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Jazz EQ: Artec SE-2 2 band EQ Controls: Volume, Treble, Bass, Blend, series/single/parallel switch for MM pickup Things you should know: Whoever had it before me thought it would be a right good idea to glue the neck in, even though it's a bolt on. No shims for you then. There are several holes in the back of the headstock where various tuners have been installed. I put this together before I even knew what I really wanted from a bass and as such I rarely play it these days. I am feeling a little skint, so I can't afford to be sentimental about it, despite my wife's warnings that I'll regret selling it. If it doesn't sell then I'll be breaking it up for parts, but if you want to save it from that fate (or at least save me from doing the breaking up - what you do with it after you buy it is none of my business ) then I'd like £200 all in for this. Sound clips: [attachment=66445:jazz_eq_flat.mp3] Jazz pup, EQ flat [attachment=66446:mm_series_eq_flat.mp3] MM pup (series), EQ flat [attachment=66447:mm_single_eq_flat.mp3] MM pup (single coil), EQ flat [attachment=66448:mm_paral..._eq_flat.mp3] MM pup (parallel), EQ flat [attachment=66449:both_ser..._eq_flat.mp3] both pups (MM series), EQ flat [attachment=66450:both_sin..._eq_flat.mp3] both pups (MM single coil), EQ flat [attachment=66451:both_par..._eq_flat.mp3] both pups (MM parallel), EQ flat [attachment=66452:jazz_max...min_bass.mp3] Jazz pup, max treble, min bass [attachment=66455:jazz_min...max_bass.mp3] Jazz pup, min treble, max bass [attachment=66456:mm_serie...min_bass.mp3] MM pup (series), max treble, min bass [attachment=66459:mm_serie...max_bass.mp3] MM pup (series), min treble, max bass [attachment=66460:mm_singl...min_bass.mp3] MM pup (single coil), max treble, min bass [attachment=66461:mm_singl...max_bass.mp3] MM pup (single coil), min treble, max bass [attachment=66462:mm_paral...min_bass.mp3] MM pup (parallel), max treble, min bass [attachment=66463:mm_paral...max_bass.mp3] MM pup (parallel), min treble, max bass [attachment=66464:around_the_board.mp3] - something different to the above file I think it was both pups (parallel) flat EQ Edited December 20, 2010 by neepheid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
