Grandon Westlund #23 - 5 string

[dougal]

Up for sale is my GW. I've owned this since new in 2008.

Black Dyed and Stabilized Maple Burl Topset, wenge accent layer over swamp ash body
Flame Maple, Wenge and Zebrawood neck.
Stabilized Purpleheart Fingerboard with Wenge accent layer and matching headstock overlays
Custom matching wooden Pickup covers and matching wooden knobs from THG Knobs
2 mm White Mother of Pearl side dots, no inlays on fingerboard

It comes with both the original Kent Armstring soap-bars with the wooden pup covers (pictures further down the thread) and some Wizard pups custom built by Andy (currently installed - immediate picture below).



The black dyed maple burl looks far more like the picture above than those below.

Weight is 5kg or 11 lbs.
String spacing is 18mm at the bridge.

Ships in Gator HSC.

Price is a reasonable £800. Local pickup from Egham possible, and I'll happily ship to Europe.

Payment via the usual methods: paypal, bank transfer or cash on collection.

I'm selling as I simply never use a 5-string any more. It's funny how these things go in cycles.

Trade-wise I'm open to suggestion, with cash going either way.

Wow, this should be considered serious wood porn!

What an extraordinary bass. And it's quite a lot of bass for £800. Thanks the lord it's not fretless (actually I don't much go for the gold hardware either).

Me neither. If it were Black, i would be checking the piggy-bank.
Good Luck with the sale, that is a seriously nice looking Bass.
