Ukelele Salad Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Up for grabs is this one-of-a-kind, beautifully made 5-string fan-fret hand-made beast. Dubbed "The Kraken" by original owner Lotusmark2 and I've had no reason to rename. This is a stunning piece of luthier-ship, each element carefully crafted and put together. I have really enjoyed playing and recording this bass at home for the last 4 years but only gigged it once so it is in top nick. The usual story of space constraints and the landlord wanting a new yacht (probably) means I'm keeping the workhorse and this has got to go. Here's the spec: Swamp ash body Walnut top Waterfall Bubinga neck Seymour Duncan active pups 3-band Seymour Duncan eq Aircraft aluminium and bell brass one-off bridge Compound tech/brass nut (self-lube) Twin carbon truss rods Active/passive push-pull Knobs and inlays also Bubinga 36, 35.6, 35, 34.6, 34 scale <9lbs Price-wise I'm asking for what I paid for it; I've kept it well serviced and maintained and it's playing as well as ever. Happy to consider offers. I'm in Peckham SE London if you want to try it out or we can meet somewhere mutually convenient. --- Side-bar - I bought this off Mark when he came down south to watch a Rugby World Cup game in 2015. Hopefully shifting it at the same stage of the 2019 competition isn't tempting fate for the northern hemisphere teams...! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hey man, sorry for the delay, I guess I have my notifications set up wrong! Interesting question, I have an ibanez blazer 4 string, and it's nothing like that, BUT, I think the profile is shallower than my memory of a Warwick 5 I had yonks ago. More half an oval than half a circle, knowhatimean?! Here are the approx dims at frets in mm 1st: 47 wide / 21 deep 7th: 56 wide / 22 deep 12th: 63 wide / 23 deep So fairly flat down the board! Hope that helps, you can always come play it if you're in the area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebabib Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hi,thanks. I live in France and i would try it if i can but it's impossible for the moment. I want to try a fanned fret but i 'm not a huge fan of Dingwall . Your bass is beautiful but harder to find. Sorry for my english, i'm a little bit rusty.
