This is my MPU headless 5 string, built by Finnish maestro and good guy Marko Ursin. It's a light, superbly-crafted fiver with carbon neck, that absolutely thunders when cranked up, though it's more than capable of the subtle stuff too. I've had it since 2104 and love it though it didn't get played as much as it deserved to. Here's the spec; [size=4][color=black][font=Arial, sans-serif]-Swamp ash/poplar burl body[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=black][font=Arial, sans-serif]-Custom-made carbon fiber neck with dual action truss rod, 34" scale, 24 frets, Richlite phenolic fingerboard[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=black][font=Arial, sans-serif]-Custom-made Wal-style10-coil pickup[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=black][font=Arial, sans-serif]-ACG EQ2 filter preamp[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=black][font=Arial, sans-serif]-ETS tuner and bridge[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=black][font=Arial, sans-serif]-Ghost piezo bridge[/font][/color][/size] [color=black][font=Arial, sans-serif]T[/font][/color][color=black][font=Arial, sans-serif]he bass uses a clamp-style nut rather than double ball strings. Can't remember what strings are on at the moment, though it plays exceptionally well with SITs if I remember correctly.[/font][/color] It'll be shipped in a coffin case and well-protected, though collection in person is possible too. £750 ono.

Typhus Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Marko has made me three basses over the years. He just build me ''30 scale 6-string bass with normal B-G-tuning. It absolutely KILLS. Marko only makes basses he wants to make and he doesnt want to do it as living (as far as I understood him right) BUT he makes them soooooo good. Well, the pictures speak for themselfs! Good luck with the sale, somebody lucky will get a great bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It is just as well that I do not need another bass. That is exceptionally attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
