Neck is bolt on and made of seven pieces of bubinga and maple,with a rosewood fingerboard. Body style is modern yet traditional if you know what I mean - nothing too alien looking and slightly familiar. Headstock is small and well recessed with two tuners either side and a string tree for correct tension. Gotoh tuners and an Iceni Sustain bridge. Neck is 34" scale a little broader than a Jazz bass, but much thinner - sort of between a Rickenbacker and a Jazz Bass and fast, with excellent fretwork (it should be it being handmade)."[/size][/font][/color]

Hi Jimitee
Have you got a pic of the fret markers?

Oh, it's probably worth popping on to the Introductions forum and introducing yourself if you're selling with your first post. Seriously improves the chances of selling :-)

Not got round to verifying yet; I've only been on here for seven years but I've met a few people who said that there were other forums and they were decent chaps so I guess the truth is out there...

[Thunderbird]

[Sean]

Yes...when I sent Mike photos he was surprised to see it - he'd built it as a prototype with a graphite neck and been harassed by the original owner into selling it which he did reluctantly...he said he had fond memories of it..

[jimitee]

Cool - I wonder if he still has the graphite neck ........ hmmmmmm
