RedSub INF Fan Fret Multi-Scale Bass Guitar, Gloss Black £90 West Kingsdown, Kent

[jimbartlett]

I’ve had this for a while as backup at gigs. The machine-heads were upgraded to Schiller and I bought new individual bridges to upgrade from standard too. Plays well with a fast neck. The frets could do with a file on the edges in a couple of places but a great bass for the money. Active EQ and multi scale fan fret. It was £150 new without upgrades.

There are one or two dink’s which I’ve tried to photograph but nothing major at all.

No gig bag for this so collection only please from West Kingsdown in Kent.

A great bass for £70!

 

Official blurb:

Fan Fret, Multi-Scale Design

Boasting a 34.5" scale on the high string and 35.5" at the low end, the RedSub INF Fan Fret Bass Guitar offers premium construction with comfortable playability. With a body made from USA basswood, the INF Fan Fret offers a comfortable playing experience and eye-catching design due to the ergonomic bevel cut in the top of the instrument. Combine this with a deep cutaway and curved neck heel and you have easy access to each of the 24 extra jumbo frets.

Versatile Tones, Ideal for Stage of Studio

The pair of humbuckers have been specifically designed to complement the construction of the bass guitar. They're angled to accommodate the fanned construction, being at the sweet spot for each string. The neck pick up sounds fuller and warmer, ideal for reggae or jazz, while the bridge pick up provides all the growl and articulation needed for rock, indie and punk. Twin adjustable volume and tone controls allow you to blend between each pickup whilst having control of the character of the sound, creating a bass guitar that suits a number of styles, and is equally at home on stage, studio or rehearsal room.

I must admit, I've been curious about these as a cheap way of trying out a fanned fret bass - pity you're a bit far from Manchester!

GLWTS,

I would post but I have no case and it’ll be a bit of a gamble if it got to you in one piece. Sorry ☹️

The fan fret neck is excellent to play and feels totally natural.

Think this would be a great choice for a B-E-A-D bass, with the extra scale length.

[jimbartlett]

Absolutely! It would work really well

£70 Christmas stocking filler? Granted it would have to be a large stocking but it still might fit? 😄
