J.D. Mark King Edition

[RayFW]

Anybody know what the hell this is? Looks vaguely Alemboid with a strange headstock.
Custom build perhaps?

Allo!

Yes. Very strange! Not sure if anyone has spoken to John Diggins about it - he's the only man who knows!

I had a couple of pics sent through from the vendor

Its his main gigging bass and I think he got it from his singer vocalist



It Appears a Bolt On as it has an engraved 4 bolt neckplate....... Body is very early alembic / JD style but i would be sure it didnt come from either ..

TRI PHASIC pickups ...errrr ?

Stereo not sure maybe via the XLR ?

Badass Bridge

Gotoh Tuners Poss Schaller ?

Unsure of the Woods again due to Pic Quality

IMHO its a sort of home build but without seeing better pics or playing it its a real tough one ....

....this was discussed when it was last up on ebay, it ain't a JD seems to be the consensus....

[phil_the_bassist]

possibly worth a look if it doesn't go much past the start price...?

I think it's a really striking looking one-off / custom type bass - it just [i]really[/i] annoys me when people try & pass something like this off as something it blatantly isn't.

I'm guessing the winner wasn't amoungst our number, it would've been interesting to see what it was like!
