tom1946 Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Hi all, the fundraising continues. This is an immaculate chinese copy of a well known guitar, When I bought it the electronics were absolute rubbish so I threw them away and asked John (KiOgon) to make me a passive conversion for it which he did at great expense, but well worth it. The bass is transformed and plays really well with lots of power and clarity (IMHO of course) The controls are now VV-TT, series/ parallel switch and a kill switch. Weight is 8.9 lbs on digital scales. **HAVING HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE NECK I MEASURED IT AND IT'S 42MM, SO IT'S A P NECK.** I'm asking £250 because of the upgrade which was over £60. **PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS [b]NOT[/b] A REAL MM** PICS: [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_1577_zpssanmlvli.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_1576_zps07rhvfdo.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_1580_zps7lzr99lt.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_1582_zpsotk2utih.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_1583_zpsilpipwsw.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_1578_zpsrb7r6ewi.jpg.html"][/url] Edited October 12, 2017 by tom1946

tom1946 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Posted September 16, 2017 Eh? sometimes you're so inscrutable Martin
tom1946 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 Bump for a great bass in excellent condition.
tom1946 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 Bump, now £250 delivered, lot of bass for the money.
Geek99 Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Hmm XMas is coming.... I always thought the MM had a 70s position ? Or did I dream that..
tom1946 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 I have lots of dreams, mostly about err things I shouldn't dream about....
RandomBass Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Now that is a very nice looking piece. So I'm clear, it's totally passive and the battery box can be used to store picks and ear plugs etc? Cheers Geoff PS where are you?
tom1946 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 First, yes I can supply a gigbag. Totally passive and the battery box can be a storage area. I'm in Guisborough, Cleveland
tom1946 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Posted September 29, 2017 Just to confirm, after an enquiry I measued the nut width and am surprised to find that it's a P bass width, 42mm. I've updated the advert to reflect this.
tom1946 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Posted October 11, 2017 I'm surprised there's no interest at all in this bass, it really does play and sound great.
