basskit_case Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I bought this bass as a Christmas present to myself back in early December, however I have just bought a Nate Mendel signature bass and somebody that doesn't gig cannot have this many basses! As with all my stuff it has never been used outside of the house, once delivered it has stayed here in my house in its hardcase when not in use, so it is like new. Great looking and great sounding all mahogany bass.[list] [*]Body Wood: Mahogany [*]Scale Length: 30-1/2" [*]Neck Joint: Set [*]Neck Wood: Mahogany [*]Fretboard: Rosewood [*]Neck Shape: Slim Taper [*]# frets: 20 [*]Nut Width: 1.695" [*]Fretboard Radius: 12 [*]Bridge: Fixed [*]Pickup Bridge: TB Plus Ceramic Humbucker [*]Pickup Neck: TB Plus Ceramic Humbucker [*]Controls: 2 Volume, 1 Tone [*]Tuners: Grover [*]Hardware color: Chrome [/list] [s]Looking for £550 delivered or £500 collected for bass, case and Aircell comfort strap, not trades, thanks.[/s] Looking for £525 delivered or £475 collected for bass, case and Aircell comfort strap, not trades, thanks.

Gust0o Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Looking forward to the pics, always had a fascination with these. How have you found the balance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskit_case Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Apologies, need to get the pictures up, having said that I am still considering keeping hold of it. Balance is fine for me, it stays put, perhaps its the shortscale nature of the bass or my extremely round gut [size=4] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basskit_case Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Some pictures added to the thread, sorry for the delay. As mentioned in original post this bass is only for sale because I bought a Nate Mendel sig a few weeks back and now (for me) I have too many basses. Questions were asked higher up about the neck dive, there is some dive, but the bass is so comfortable to play with right forearm on top of bass body that the bass doesn't move, it feels really stable.
