Beautiful bass - alder body & the neck is canary, which is somewhere between maple & wenge in terms of feel. If you're ever near Tyneside you're welcome to come & have a try... 😀 Uau, that's actually pretty close to what I am looking for, and it's the right color! Quote
therealting Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 @benebassOoh that’s nice. What’s the spec? Quote

What’s the spec? - Light alder short scale G4 body with tapered neck / body join - Canary neck / fingerboard with jumbo frets - not a common wood, but a really nice halfway house between maple & wenge - Schaller BML light tuners - EMG Geezer Butler pickup / electrics - Fender vintage bridge - Status flats - Finished by Dave Wilson (ex-Overwater) - Custom scratchplate by the Bass Doc Has a few signs of wear, but a really nice instrument & sounds great (quite articulate for a Precision). Just not playing as much as I would like these days. Not really given selling it much thought until I saw this thread... 1 Quote

Although if I recall correctly it was her sister's, and was a cheap beater bass, before a producer told her to get a "proper" bass. 1 Quote
Paul S Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 That's quite funny There's nowt wrong with these. As above, I have one of the Black N Gold versions of these and it puts a lot of much more expensive basses I have owned to shame in terms of fit and finish. Quote
