rushbo Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Hey BC, For sale for SOLDSOLDSOLD [s]£120[/s] we have a mysterious acoustic bass. I bought it many years ago, had a pick up installed by Rob Williams at Woodworm (the one it came with never worked) and then promptly put it in a cupboard. Well...on a stand, really. It's been defretted, but pretty well done (my rather crappy 'phone photo's don't show the job up too well). Acoustically, it sounds lovely - very upright-y. With the pick up, it really sings. I have no idea what PUs are in it, but it cost me a few quid and they sound lovely. Two stacked knobs give you a lot of tonal options. Cosmetically, it's had a ding or two (and a small patch of inexpilicable criss cross scratches on the lower side) but it's still a handsome thing. Nice shaped back too. It's got a plastic plug where the original jack socket was as it's now got an end pin jack. It's got an old set of flats on it which add to it's Double Bassyness. As for the make...I haven't got a clue. It looks Italian. Nice detailing around the sound hole and it looks well made, but after an exhuastive Internet trawl, I have found no info about it anywhere. It might be incredibly rare or it might be a beater. Find out for £120. I'm based just outside Brum, in sunny Halesowen so try before you buy is an option. Bring biscuits.

paulbkeeves Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 hi, I'll be flying over to Brum for the weekend, I may well give you a buzz. What biscuits do you like?
rushbo Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 I think I've got a case that'll fit it...It's a chunky ol' thing. And any biscuits are good biscuits.
rushbo Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 A little bit of interest, but it's still here...it needs to go people so it's £120 incl postage.
