THIRSTYGUMS Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Here for sale is my hand-made custom, made by me and lightly played, "benny" (with the greatest respect in the world) benavente style set/neckthrough bass: Walnut singlecut body set neck 8 PIECE maple/purpleheart set neck active electronics (vol active/passive push pull pot, blend, bass+ -, mid + -, mid frequency sweep, treble + -)[/font] [size=4][color=#000000]the bass is 34" scale and weighs between 4 to 4.5 kg (same weight as my fender standard p)[/color] [color=#000000]neck width at nut-48mm / 12th fret-65mm / 24th fret-74mm.[/color] [color=#000000]string spacing 10.5mm at nut, 16mm at bridge.[/color] [color=#000000]i dont have my calipers handy but the neck is a medium depth like a modern fender and has a assymetrical profile, i.e. its oval "c" shape on the E/B side and more of a soft "V" shape on the treble side of the neck. radius is a nice shallow 16" non compound[/color][/size] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Made in Northern Ireland U.K. (no import tax nastyness for us europeans) this is the 6th bass/guitar i have made, completed 2009, and is a high quality instrument. Rigid and solid and made with the best of woods, lightly finished in a satin poly, It absolutely sings amped and unplugged, and even though i have basic artec electronics in it, it zings like the best of the boutique basses so Its crying out for some handwound humbuckers. Everyone says it but in this case its true- really pains me to sell this. Needs must.

jonno1981 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Really like the truss rod wheel access on the neck, never seen that before and it makes a lot of sense.

THIRSTYGUMS Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 THIS is back up for sale with drastically reduced price!
sea1bass Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 great looking! schale lenght, 34? 36? or? weight?__----- and string spaceing? how is the B? really looks like super DEAL! keep up the fine work!
Miker400 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Intrigued by this bass; as I am by most single cuts.. At the price I'd poss give it a go. That said I do like my 5's to be a shorter scale - ideally 34" but 35" might also be of interest.. It almost looks a 36 on the pics..??
THIRSTYGUMS Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 its a 34" folks, The B is perfect, tight and burp-y and groan-y. Really proud of this bass and its a highly reluctant sale
