Hawkesy Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Quick little feeler, I love this bass, but the low F and I aren't the best of friends. Little buckle rash, which you can see and an unfortunate chunk taken from one of the horns. These were there when I purchased the bass back in April, nothing a little sanding and some wood glue couldn't fix I suppose. Not adverse to shipping, but would prefer pick up. In regards to a trade, I'd like to see something with 5-6 strings, but I'm open to anything, really. Hoping something might catch my eye! Thanks! Craig EDIT: Should probably have put a point in that I'm in Central Scotland. Double EDIT: Some more details! 9pc Maple/Rosewood/Walnut neck-through w/Graphite reinforcement rods Rosewood top/Maple wing body Rosewood fretboard w/Abalone dot inlay Mono-rail IV bridge (15.5mm string spacing) E6 3-band eq w/Eq bypass switch Scale: 35" 63mm at NUT 96mm at 24F Edited January 22, 2017 by Hawkesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Low F?! blimey, that must be a steel cable on there. I thought it was strung for a high F# instead - more useful! Nice bass though, lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, if you go to F# then you're changing the convention of the note physically under (but higher in tone) the C being an F? Please excuse me asking, but why would that be easier? Craig, please excuse me de-railing your For Sale thread. Nice bass BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkesy Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Daz isn't wrong. It is infact a steel cable for a Low F. Surprisingly a whole lot of players go B-F# with higher strings in a 7. I don't know why exactly it's F#, I've actually been considering doing that myself if strings weren't a nightmare to find.

Hawkesy Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Bump! Show me what you got! EDIT: If it'll sweeten the deal, I'm more than happy to throw in the Gator hard case that you can see in the images!

Daz39 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think I meant High F. I can't remember now (counts semitones slowly). My witter was more concerned with being able to hear what's being played. Low F is just rumbling to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Not much interest, so I'd expect so, but trades are king with it, I wouldn't be able to get anything near the quality of it for £600 and these go for about £900 new.
