I really like the look of this. Anyone know anything about these?

I had one of these for a short time and sold it on, mine was fretless and had the original Schaller hardware (M series smaller type tuners and 3D bridge). The original pickup was one of those eight pole piece rectangular jobs - possibly Schaller or Dimarzio - this one looks to have an EMG Select installed. It may have been a medium scale. I'd already seen this and messaged the seller to see what the scale length is. I got rid of mine because the original pickup had a very low output and sounded weak. Nice looking bass though.

Edit - just had a reply it's a 32" scale

Yes, I just asked him a few questions, too. Weighs just 3.96kg, so under 9lbs, 40mm wide at the nut. Medium scale, which I like!

Are you going to have a punt on this, do you think? Might, if it doesn't end up in daft territory.

I probably will as at the moment a shorter scale bass that is light weight would suit my needs - I have a shoulder injury that is taking its time to ease. I was looking for an SG bass but they are a bit expensive unless I can sell my old Precision.

[Paul S]

In which case I'll leave you to it - no point us both bidding against each other.

And when you get fed up with it, you can sell it to me!

[ash]

Ha ha! Cheers if I get it and when my shoulder heals I'll pm you!

[Paul S]

So - was your's the winning bid? can't wait until morning to ask, even though I am just off out!

[ash]

It wasn't outbid last second or so
