eneade Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 What are the pickups ? Is it a Cataldo neck with a Fender headstock and decal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby D Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share 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.

karlfer Posted May 23, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
