Clarky Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I bought this bass a month ago from Kev Hopper (aka Spoombung), the talented ex-Stump and solo bass (and musical saw) player. I absolutely love the design, which is so far from my usual boring Fender obsession its untrue, and the dead-on 7 lb weight is just fab for someone with a dodgy back like me. The problem is the neck dimensions are very Jazz-like and just not terribly comfortable to me (I prefer a slabby Precision or Wal type neck, especially since I broke my hand in a couple of places 18 months ago and it tends to cramp up with narrow necks). I paid £600 but have since had the broken E string piezo bridge saddle refurbished by Rolf Spuler in Switzerland (I have re-soldered it in and the piezos all now balance perfectly), so I'm bumping up the FS price very slightly to reflect this, to £625. Comes with Affirma hard case (slightly scraped/bashed and missing one of three locks, but perfectly functional). I should be able to post this as I happen to have a cardboard box that fits the hard case like a glove. Here's Kev's original FS ad with loads of pictures and details [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/118966-ibanez-affirma-afr-withdrawn-until-further-notice/page__hl__affirma"]http://basschat.co.u...ge__hl__affirma[/url] Here's a couple of Kev's pics which I am sure he would be cool about me using: [attachment=100381:full1.jpg][attachment=100382:AFRrepose.jpg] Edited February 19, 2012 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
