Traded pending RBass SC6, now with pics, video!

[nobodysprefect]

Right, this is an american Foderaesque bass. Sounds a lot like a bolt-on imperial with bartolinis. As such, it has great sustain and depth, so not like a jazz bass bolt-on. This is a VERY good bass, [i]but[/i] not enough space, and I'm trying to do the Marcus thing and stick with my MTD which has a pretty unique tone that works better for me. (Some call MTDs cold and clinical, I say 'precise and wiry')

Very, VERY, comfy maple neck with birdseye maple fretboard. White mahogany body with mahogany accent, burled walnut top. About the only neck that legitimately beats MTD necks or the one Fodera neck I've had. (FOR ME) Will take exact dimensions tomorrow.

Custom 18v Bartolini 3-band pre with mid switch and kill switches. Birdseye maple pickup covers with matching knobs. Weighs about 9 lbs. Compound radius, 24 fret, 34" scale. Abalone Rbass logo and side (neck) position markers. Has Hipshot hardware with an adjustable bridge which is currently set @18ish mm, does something like 17.5-18.5 mm. Comes with a custom-made maple ramp.

Will try to snap pics tomorrow, as am at home during the light hours tomorrow. Don't have a good flash / ambient lighting.

Comes with a nice gig bag, excellent condition. traded pending the other RBass for sale in Europe is a neck-through that's located in Italy and he's asking 3500 euro ~ 2800 quid which is just too much I think.

What's the weight of this monster?

Those black dots look lovely on that fretboard. Like the pup covers also, a very pretty instrument!

It's not a monster! It's a cutie! Bathroom scale says 4,5 kgs?

Ohhhhh I would love this one!!:-((((((((

Aight, I'll get my macbook back from repairsman next week, so I'll have clips online on Thu!

[nobodysprefect]

Eh, I suppose 1900 quid was too much to ask. 1600?

[nobodysprefect]

I will be unable to ship anything between Dec 19 and Jan 10, so if you're interested in the bass, now's the time to act! I'd be interested in hearing any (trade) offers in order to clean up the house before Christmas!
