Pinball Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) I bought this bass at the end of last year and haven't had the chance to play it so am re-selling A unique bass built in Philppe's London workshop, the construction is good quality and lightweight. It has many signs of use such as light scratches but no notable dings or paint loss so I class it as being in good condition. The neck is fast and stable and I was told it was made by UK luthier Goodfellows. The neck is a 7 piece laminate. It looks like the finger board is ebony, frets are good. It is passive, with room to make it active if required. Pickups are unknown but I suspect Delano, the controls are VVT and the neck pickup volume pops up for a beefier sound option, although I am not sure what it actually does. The string spacing is currently 16mm but the bridge does appear adjustable so you could potentially squeeze a wider spacing. Philippe told me that this was constructed in the early 2000's and was in a studio in Denmark street so some of you musicians from London may have come across it. Here is his current site. There is no longer a case or truss rod cover I'm afraid Here is his current site. http://www.dubreuille-guitar.com/jbass.html and pictures: r7lgx7iilf6ypzjdi7iy.webp x9jrtyyrickndfxngtsb.webp zst6zvcahaafgacfhd9v.webp Edited November 12, 2020 by Pinball 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The neck could be a Nightingale - Phillipe and Neil have shared workshop space over the years. Phillipe is a top bloke, great at what he does. GLWTS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
