I bought this bass a couple of years ago in the hope of reviving my fretless playing (which used to be quite reasonable) I learnt bass on a fretless but was drawn towards the darkside of frets and after some heart searching I've decided that I'm now just a fretted player and I have too many basses I don't play. It came to me as a neck and body but with no neck plate hence the spare Fender one fitted that I had in my bits box!. When I put it together I found someone had snapped a bridge screw off in the body and the neck had a slight warp. I had the neck professionally levelled/fixed and a new bridge and nut fitted by Joe White at [url="http://www.jwhite-guitarworkshops.co.uk/"]http://www.jwhite-gu...orkshops.co.uk/[/url]

The bass is made with a Zebrano body and neck with a Brazilian Santos rosewood fingerboard. Baddass II bridge, Audere JZ3 preamp, D'Adderio nickel half-rounds.

It plays really well, the neck is 1 9/16" at the nut, string spacing is 19mm at the bridge.

Zebrano is a close-grained and heavy wood and the bass is around 11lbs. The tone is quite bright with loads of sustain.

I've also got a generic case for it somewhere.

It's from a luthier who is quite well known in Italy - [url="http://www.arcangeliguitars.it/index.plp"]http://www.arcangeliguitars.it[/url]

Here's his Youtube promo video:

What I'm looking for: Active or passive, natural finish, 5 strings, narrow-ish string spacing, Spector, Warwick, Lakland DJ5 etc, but I do fancy a Spector! - I have cash to spend for the right trade :)

Or give me some cash - around £400 should do the trick :)

If I can help with the funding of a Spector by buying my old P bass back I'd be at your door in a flash :)

BUMP!!

I was very tempted to trade you the P bass for that 3TS Jazz you recently had - but the P is so nice!

I have the funds for the Spector, but I have to make room for it first! - I do fancy one of those lovely poplar burl top Euro 5 LX's :gas:
