Beautiful series 1 single cut, built for me so single owner and in immaculate condition. Specs as follows:

33 scale

18mm spacing at the bridge

What I would describe as a shallow C profile - somewhere between and C and flat D

Through neck

Bartolini P4s

Ash body, maple neck with purpleheart

Walnut top, walnut back and control covers, walnut facings on front and rear of headstock (it is truly a work of art)

Black hardware. Hipshot tuners, hipshot piezo bridge.

East unipre. Controls are:

Vol and balance on stack 1

Mid freq and mid cut/boost stack 2

Bass/Treble on stack 3 (pull for bright boost)

Passive tone (pull for passive)

Piezo vol, pull for mid-dark boost

Each P4 has a three way coil tap for series, single coil and parallel

Final switch is for the neck LEDs, off/side/front and side

Set up by Martin last year and strung with Elixirs

I have to say, it's a fabulous bass. It is a joy to behold and tremendous playability. The sale is reluctant as I have a strong degree of personal investment in the bass (not just the obvious financial) however I mainly play other basses and following some soul searching I think the time is right to move it on, I hope to a new and happy home.

I'm happy to sell but frankly just as interested in trades. If the latter, or PX, then the following might be helpful:

  • Only basses please - I'm sorted for amps and other stuff
  • I'm sorted for Fender type basses so no Ps or Js please
  • No 33s please, and would definitely prefer 18mm spacing but 19 is cool if the bass is comfy...
  • Ideally looking for another 6

Very sorry for my poor photography skills!

Please let me know if you want more info or specific shots of the bass, I'm very happy to speak on the phone or vid call so you can get a proper look. The bass is in Norwich and you're welcome to check it out in person if that's viable for you.

And please don't tell Martin....

It's now gone to that black hole somewhere in Essex that has a habit of sucking up 6 string basses. Also known as my house.
