Bobby D Posted May 9, 2019 Author Posted May 9, 2019 It really is!! Have an opportunity for a new project and sadly this is part of a major clearout.
eneade Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 What are the pickups ? Is it a Cataldo neck with a Fender headstock and decal ?

Hi I've emailed the builder in the US to get the exact specs and I'll let you know as soon as I've had a response. With regard to the neck, these are built as replicas of the basses made for John Entwistle by Peter Cook in the 70's and feature thunderbird bodies with fender style necks.

Bobby D Posted May 14, 2019 Author Posted May 14, 2019 For anyone interested I emailed Cataldo today and Carlo has sent me a link showing the origins with inspiration, prototypes and development. http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=4598.0 2

Bobby D Posted May 15, 2019 Author Posted May 15, 2019 After speaking to the builder last night I now know that it's one of the earlier builds and has Seymour Duncan pickups fitted and not Thunderbuckers. I've dropped the price to reflect this. I'll leave it up here but if there isn't much interest I'll just swap the neck for a modern C Mex neck I have here and keep it.
b7l4s Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 That is very cool! Wish I had the funds available... GLWTS
karlfer Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Hmm, I know I shouldn't, but if my Orange cabs go I may well be in touch. I had a white one same as this but jazz dimension neck. Fabulous sound! 1
Bobby D Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 Any offers on this? I need to move in on. C'mon folks...treat yourself!!
Bobby D Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 Gigging in Nottingham tomorrow if that helps anyone out with distance?
Beedster Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Lovely. Can't help thinking it needs an unlined ebony fretless neck 2
Bobby D Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 My original idea was a Status graphite neck. Jazz width. The white with the black neck+ humbuckers=low slung rock n roll
Bobby D Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Just bought a Super Bassman and an 8x10 so need to clear the space and keep trucking. 🤘 It's a great price for a cool bass
Bobby D Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Will be heading east on the M4 from wales to Horsham this weekend if that helps anybody with a meet?
