artisan Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) :edit -- i may be able to do a trade deal for a 2008 on MIA Fender P or J or maybe a Ray' but only with a good chunk of cash my way too please note for trade valuation is still £1500.00 but i am open to sensible offers **** NEW CASH PRICE £1200.00 **** one & only price drop,i can't drop the price any more than this so please don't ask. it is with great regret that i am having to sell this beautiful instrument,basically i have taken a financial gamble that didn't pay off as i had hoped so now need to make up the short fall,hence selling my prized custom bass this is without doubt the most amazing & beautiful bass i have ever owned or even played for that matter. the build quality & sheer attention to detail that Alpher put into all of their instruments is frankly astounding,this bass has blown me away from the day i first picked it up. it plays just as good as it looks,i have never ever played anything that even comes close to this bass,it needs to be played to be believed. it sounds absolutely awesome too,fitted with custom wound Wizard pickups through a custom John East 2 band preamp (both treble & bass have internal trim pots to adjust the frequency range that each band adjusts). that body is made from truly lovely Indian Rosewood & is just beautiful (see photos) the top wood is amazing Claro Walnut which is just stunning (my photos don't do it justice) a maple veneer separates the two body woods the neck is Wenge which looks fantastic & feels sublime under the hand the fretboard is of very nice Macassar Ebony & that just looks bloody lovely too finish it tru oil which really brings out the grain of the gorgeous woods used. pickups are custom wound Wizard items custom 2 band preamp is by John East bridge & light weight tuners are Hipshot items it is fitted with new Labella slapper strings which really suit it comes with a Hiscox hard case *edit* it does have a slight ding on the front where some tit hit it with a speaker lead,i tried to photograph it but gave up as you couldn't see it as it nowt really but i thought i'd best mention it this is one stunning bass guitar which i wouldn't be selling if i had the choice .....booo hoooo..... so if you were fancying a custom Alpher bass (or just a stunning bass) why wait to have one built when you can just buy mine & save a few hundred pounds to boot.
