lowregisterhead Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) NOW SOLD For sale is my Boldogh 'Jazzy 5' custom bass from the workshop of Hungarian luthier Csaba Boldogh. It's beautifully made, and has a big range of sounds via the twin Kent Armstrong pickups, coil taps and very comprehensive controls on the Zolkow preamp. It's never been gigged, and is in excellent condition. I had it PLEK'd at Charlie Chandlers, and it plays beautifully. The only things I can spot are some very slight finger swirl on the body below the strings, and a couple of tiny marks on the tuner ears. Specs: Body: ash with black walnut veneer Top: spalted ash Neck: figured maple / padouk with two carbon fibre reinforcing rods Fingerboard: pacific rosewood Nut: brass Frets: Jescar 51100 stainless steel Scale length: 34.5" Weight: 4.7kg Pickups: Kent Armstrong KS (closed Ken Smith style) Pre-amp: Zolkow 3.3 (volume, blend, bass, middle, treble, active / passive switch) used in Fclef, Blasius and MLP basses, with eight frequency selector switches and gain trim inside the control cavity Bridge: Gotoh 510BR (string spacing: 18mm) Tuners: Gotoh GBS510 I bought it a year ago, and as it's such a lovely bass I'm loathe to part with it, but unfortunately most of my employers require something more 'mainstream', so it hasn't had a lot of use. Any trial is welcome - I'm close to junction 10 of the M25, postcode GU23. The bass comes complete with a hard case, maker's certification and preamp configuration instructions.

Acebassmusic Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Good looking bass with nice grain pattern on top. I nearly spat my coffee out when I read the certificate....you have an ash body and a black walnut WEENER!?!
lowregisterhead Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 Thanks Acebassmusic. Ah, yes. The weener. I have some cream from the doc for that! Actually, I think it's Hungarian for veneer...

I've had a couple of Wals, and it is reminiscent of them - it also does a good Andy Fraser tone soloed on the bridge pickup - great for all those 'Free' bass lines...
