CamdenRob Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I had a go on this last time I was in there, it's an astonishing instrument... I'd have to change that gold hardware though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Also if you ever needed to move it on I'm not convinced there is a huge market for £3k seven string fretless basses.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 What are 'all the wrong reasons' ? Use it as a paddle for your kayak ? Turn it into matchsticks and make a model of Sunderland Catherdral ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Personally I hate the look of those extra long pick ups, surely they're for a 10 string or something? Spoils the look for me, but I have enough trouble with 4 strings Oh! Yes the fish would have to go Edited October 29, 2014 by KiOgon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've played it too. Surprisingly easy to orientate around the seventh string and that part almost feels like a long scale guitar. The action is super, super low. Martin makes some of the best necks in the world IMO. Its been in the shop for over a year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Only if either were worth the asking price Seriously though, I'm confident that he'd be open to negotiation. You'd have one hell of a bass.
