[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=3]Antonio Papadopoulos 6 string, 32" scale, Maple / Wenge neck, Ash body, Delano 3 band Preamp, EMG soapbox pick-ups.[/size][/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=3]Up for sale is a fantastic bass, handcrafted by reputable Greek luthier Antonis Papadopoulos. Free insured UK shipping, EU shipping available for price difference.[/size][/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=3]The bass is in good condition, it's a rare blend of 6 strings with a very comfortable 32" scale. It's got 24 frets on a maple fretboard, mounted on a solid 5 piece maple/wenge bolt on neck. The body is ash with a veneer of padouk with a figured ash top. The 2 piece bridge and nut are custom cut from brass. The pick-ups are EMG's powered by a fantastic Delano 3 band EQ active preamp.[/size][/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=3]The frets are in very good condition. The bass is very playable and incredibly comfortable due to the scale and neck profile. It sounds very nice too, harmonically rich and adaptable to a wide range of playing styles with a very musically sounding EQ. There's a blend pot and single volume with push/pull active/passive.[/size][/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=3]Here it is listed at £749: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/273732-sold-antonis-papadopoulos-6-string-32-scale/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url][/size][/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=3]Here it is before that, listed for £1300: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/266057-traded-awesome-6-strings-32-scalemaple-boardash-body/page__hl__antonis+papadopoulos__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url][/size][/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=3]There are a few things to be aware of (the pictures should demonstrate all of these): The bass does have a few marks, but nothing significant, other than some buckle rash to the rear. The battery cover has one hinge broken, but still stays in place fine and is useable - easily repaired. The electronics cover is currently missing two screws until I can find suitable replacements. There is a visible join on the head of the bass (not a repair, but original design flaw), where the laminated neck does not meet up neatly, and join line is visible, luckily most of this is on the rear of the head. Above the nut a careful cut can be seen into the head and truss rod housing (again, original luthier error). Continuing to be very picky, there is some slight clouding to the finish at the base of the back of the neck, and the neck pick up sits not quite level to my eyes! The price reflects these characteristics of the bass and is set for a quick sale.[/size][/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=3]This is a great playing and sounding bass that has previously been listed on Basschat for ranges from £749 - £1300, and has never stayed around long… So grab yourself a bargain![/size][/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2][size=3]Any questions… fire away! Thanks for looking.[/size][/size][/font]
