denis_d Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I decided to sell my W&T. This bass was built for me in 2008. I used to play it a lot when I was in a prog-rock band, but now it's not getting any attention at all. I haven't played it actively since I quit the band, only took it to some jazz rehearsals, but now I don't do even that. I realised that a 6-string is just too much for me. I probably was too ambitious when I ordered it )) So, this bass has to go to someone who can use all of its potential. As I said, the bass used to be played a lot, so it has some wear on the back, on hardware and on the pickup cover (the birdseye maple has darkened). The fingerboard was sanded and the nut was changed by a local luthier a year ago or so. Here are the specs: - Alder body with chestnut tone block - Tanzanian blackwood top with flame maple stripes - 3-piece ash/maple/ash neck-through with purpleheart insert - Cocobolo fingerboard - Haeussel jazzbucker pickup - U-retro preamp (I guess), controls: volume, bass/treble (pull for bright), mid/mid freqency, passive tone (push/pull active/passive), single/humbucker switch. - Removable ebony ramp - Gotoh tuners - W&T bridge, which gives some extra tension to the strings. Not all strings fit, sometimes you have to buy extra-long sets, although it is 34" scale. Dunlops and Foderas fit well, but Elixirs don't. Currently wearing old Labellas, I will change them, of course. - Schaller straplocks Comes with the original W&T gigbag and truss rod keys. Trades are welcome, may be even more preferrable, than the sale I am looking for good fretted 5-string, so open to offers. The bass is located in Riga, Latvia.
