discreet Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Arrgghh!! I can't seem to see the pics... could you possibly email some?
Ticktock Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I can't see pics either. I'm off to find out what black cherry burst looks like...sounds saucy!!
Bassulike66 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 Not the best pics in the history of photography but i will do some new daylight pics tomorrow. Apart from the greasy fingerprints the bass is in great condition.
Billy Apple Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Do these come in different scales. I saw one on BD that was 35"? What woods is it made from and do you have an accurate weight? Would I be right in thinking all the spacings are P bass width?

Here is the spec for mine.. Scale = 34 inch Body wing construction = Alder back, slice of walnut, USA figured maple top. Neck = 3 peice maple. String spacing at bridge = 19.05mm. Not sure of the weight at the moment as the battery has died in my scales :-)
Bassulike66 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 Daylight pics added to opening post.
Billy Apple Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Would be nice if you could get an accurate weight :-)

Paulhauser Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Hey, you all know you want this! Mark is a great guy to deal with and these are fantastic instruments! I had one a couple of years ago and even though I have sold that, my main instrument is still a Spector EURO 5. Grab this and you wont be disappointed. Have a free bump Mark!
