karlfer Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Some of the old hands will remember this bass that Delberthot got made. He has kindly given me permission to use his original sale thread. I bought this with the intention of getting a Warmoth reversed headstock maple neck made, a la Fender CS Dusty Hill. Two days after I bought it, a Warmoth almost the same as the Dusty came up, so I bought that. This is straight up for sale. Original thread (many thanks Derek) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/159649-warmoth-54-single-coil-precision-bass-sold/page__hl__warmoth+gold__fromsearch__1"]Warmoth '54 Single Coil Precision bass - SOLD[/url] Mahogany body, rear routed. Wenge neck, jazz nut width, tele style headstock, ebony fretboard, Gotoh 201, Gotoh BML tuners, gold coloured frets. Not sure what the pup is but it is stacked and good! I will put in a cheap but functional ESP gigbag. This would cost over £1000 in parts to import (inc vat etc). Top class bass but not for shrinking violets. 4 chips, one at neck joint, one at pup, one on lower bout and one at truss rod access. £500 collected from Wigan, £525 insured courier to mainland U K. If you inquire from off our island, yes, I will ship BUT you must sort out your own courier and insurance. Bank transfer, cleared cheque or cash on collection please, I will not take PAINPal so please don't ask. TRADES HAPPILY CONSIDERED, although I would value it at £550 for trade. If it doesn't look like it's going in a week or so I will seriously consider parting it out. EDIT, happy to meet, no charge between say Brum/Leeds/Carlisle. No obligation trial in Wigan welcome. My FEEDBACK is linked at the bottom of all my posts. Cheers, Karl.

karlfer Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks folks. Delberthot was the brains behind this one [quote name='Aero71' timestamp='1406055894' post='2507925'] Very cool bass! Is the neck also from Warmoth? [/quote] Yes Mr. 71 it is a custom order from Warmoth. The same specification neck will cost you approximately £440 to your door, after taxes and shipping. And a 2 month wait. I am FAIRLY sure the pick up is the following linked stack single coil humbucker thingy [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/custom-shop/bass-2/single_coilstac/"]Stack® for Single Coil P-Bass® - Seymour Duncan Bass[/url] Edit. Forgot, the DG on the headstock are the original owners initials. It's a sticker sort of thing which I am sure will come off.

Delberthot Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Unless it has been changed then it is indeed a Stack for single coil P bass pickup - same one that Sting uses in his ones. Very expensive as well - there's one on Ebay Canada for £110 delivered plus taxes & VAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Thanks Derek. I've had a look "under the hood" and the wiring is the same as the SD Custom Shop Stacked so reckon that is what it is. There is a lot of room under the hood to use for actives if required. I've just paid £575 for it without even a gig bag and I reckon that was a bargain for a bass as good as this. At £500 plus courier I reckon it really is a bargain. I will part it out next week but if it hasn't gone within 2 weeks I'm not going to flog the proverbial. It will be no hard ship to keep it, but THREE 54's is a touch OTT [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0571_zpsf94b8076.jpg.html"][/url] Edited July 24, 2014 by karlfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1946 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Karl that is beautifully understated, a lovely bass and I bet it sounds even better too. Good luck with the sale buddy.

[/quote] Thanks Tom, yup it does sound very good. Wenge neck, ebony board, mahogany body, SD Custom Shop pup, it would need to sound good with those top components. Your Sunset Orange. You put it in the box and asked the nice man to bring it to me . Nurse, up his meds! Edited July 26, 2014 by karlfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Willing to look at other trades before I part it out. 3 x 54 Precisions is too much for one man I MAY have a couple of hundred quid for the right bass, but remember the trade value of this, in my eyes, will be a bit higher than that for a cash sale. Probably about £550 value on a trade. Cheers, Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Amongst others I had a tentative offer of £100 plus an immaculate Peavey T40. Sadly the guy has been on a few times since but no further contact, so guess he's changed his mind. If nothing else happens with this bass by tomorrow night, sadly I'm going to try parting it out. Very surprised really, if it had Flea and was in gold, guess it would have been long gone. I have done a breakdown on most parts and the parts alone come to over £1200, never mind shipping, putting it together etc. Hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
