nobodysprefect Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) This is a lovely bass with quality at the same level as, say, a Spector or a Skjold, but cleaner. Jack's a very, very, neat man. Selling as four strings just isn't happening for me any more. It's also a monster to play, and can be set up even for tapping-style action without rattles. Has highly versatile tones with lots of clarity and surprisingly open and dynamic tone for a neck-through bass. Must be the tone chambers in it. Features: 5-piece maple neck with walnut or stringers. Comfortable and quick D-shape. Pau ferro fingerboard mahogany body with tone chambers flame maple top, built as Jack's NAMM showpiece EMG DC40 pickups, EMG 3-band electronics w/ sweep mid <- I think the sweepable mids make all the difference This bass does wonderful fingerstyle sounds from p- to j-country with a detour in MM-land. An amazing player with a pick, and can get really close to that rick with a pick with an OD if you want it. Slap-wise you get again lots of variation because of the sweepmids. Comes with a really nice Levy's gig bag and I'll throw in an SKB bass safe if required. EDIT: Wellllll the exchange rate swung so: price reduction! GBP 680 plus shipping! This is a really light bass so the shipping cost will be on the low side. Also, don't be afraid to offer trades, partial trades, upward trades, whatnot! Every message gets a guaranteed reply!

molan Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Looks really nice - very Ken Smith(ish)? I also wanted to say that if anyone is at all wary of trading with NP becuase he's based in Finland then they needn't be. Aprt from being a really nice guy he's 100% reliable to deal with. I actually bought quite an expensive bass from him & he shipped it over to me before I'd even paid any sort of deposit. In fact it actually arrived at my house (perfectly packaged) before my money transfer had gone through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodysprefect Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Many thanks Barrie! I'm NOT in the habit of sending a bass before a payment nor did he require it - just something that came about from my judging him trustworthy by his feedback and the fact that the Spector DID have a bump. I much appreciate his approval! Yay for britons! (Dare I say [i]English[/i]? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
