BassBod Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 A truly lovely instrument. Small body, so it’s quiet on its own, but well behaved when you plug it in. I played this a lot when the kids were young, but it’s not getting used much now. All solid wood, (spruce top, mahogany) beautifully made and in great lightly used condition. The Fishman under saddle element has been removed, and a K&K pickup fitted underneath the bridge plate (glued). This is currently wired direct to the socket, but the original preamp system is all there, and easily brought back into use - a new pickup element is all that’s needed. The original pick up is still in the case (it’s a Fishman, pretty standard). The strings in the photo are D’Addario black nylons, but it’s currently wearing Martin bronze acoustic strings - they are horrible and I’ll try and replace them soon 😳. Collection from Bristol /Bath area much preferred - this is a bass you should try! 3

Rick's Fine '52 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Keep coming back to this, shame you’re not nearer.
BassBod Posted February 10, 2019 Author Posted February 10, 2019 Yes, but it’s a lovely area to visit 😎. Ten minutes from Bath and all it’s temptations (Vintage&Rare..and a thousand plus restaurants and coffee houses!) 2
