tommorichards Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) So, i picked up this bass to try and get back into 5's after a few years, and i dont think im ready yet. Just cant get around the narrow string spacing. So its passive, 2 vol, 2 tone. String through which is pretty cool. Its got a lovely quilted top, which seems to have a translucent dark purple finish. Even has a matching headstock. I think the body is a one piece with quilted maple top. Cons: Its got a little pin hole on one of the frets. Dont know how it got there A small circular indentation on the back in the finish There is some fretboard wear, like you see on old maple fretboard telecasters, but rather from a dark rosewood, to lighter. Not sure how. Anyway, here are some pictures: Price, as title, £140 posted. I would do a discount if you picked it up. Edited January 3, 2014 by tommorichards
chrismuzz Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I've got one exactly like this. They're really nice! Comfy neck and the pickups will give you nice punchy mids. In fact every bass I ever pick up I compare it to the 4 string version of this
tommorichards Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 ive now put some tobias 5er pups in, and i think it needs new strings.
