electricbass Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) *WITHDRAWN* ZOOT ICENI CUSTOM 5 £750.00 I think this is probably an earlier Zoot from the 90's (although don't hold me to that), as the style and build suggests it having seen a few other Zoots online to compare. I believe Mike Walsh is the Zoot man and there is a lot of love for him from people who play these, and rightly so! All Schaller hardware, Bartolini J pickups and Bartolini NTMB preamp. Controls, Vol, Vol, (mute/kill switch for each PU individually, very handy actually), Mid with a pull boost, and bass/treb on a stacked knob. It has a custom made detachable thumb rest you will see in most of the pics, not used by me but comes with it. Mahogany body, quilt maple top with a sandwich of what looks like Ash and walnut? Seven piece Mahogany/Maple neck with birdseye FB with thin inlaid stripe both sides. Probably weighs between 9 and 10lb, my scales have gone kaput so I'm kinda guessing but I've had a lot of basses that I did know the weight of so I think I'm about right pitching it at that... Few little dings here and there as would be expected as it's been played a lot, but its actually very good indeed for its age, it has also IMHO benifitted from being played a lot as it has a nice 'played in' feel to it. Honestly though, this plays so nicely with a really great neck and really low action all the way up the neck, playability and feel is as good if not better than a lot of very exotic high end basses I've played and to me even has a nice 'rounded vintagy' feel to it in the hands. I'm selling up as I'm packing up playing live due to a long term shoulder injury and I only really need one bass. Nice Eden Metro 2x10 combo for sale here too. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/320325-eden-metro-combo-2x10/ I also have three other handmade custom type basses for sale on here at the links below, (links to follow), all four basses are offered up here on BC at £750 each, which I think is very low money for what they really are. It would be easy to find far lesser basses than these at much more money online. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/320306-fodera-style-handmade-bass/ https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/320303-paulman-j6-custom/ https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/320304-valenti-j4/ IF YOU PLAY WITH A FAST LIGHT TOUCH AND LIKE A LOW ACTION ON YOUR BASSES, THIS WILL BE UP YOUR STREET! I'm based near Biggleswade, Beds BTW and would prefer collection as it can be viewed in the flesh then too. £750, cash on collection.
