Alpher Mini Mako FS/FT *SOLD* £1600 Edinburgh

[bassist_lewis]

This is a wonderful instrument to play but just not exactly what I'm looking for. It's got a very comfortable neck, the balance is perfect and its very light, so I imagine easy to wear for a long gig. It's a surprisingly modern sound for a 50s style P pickup, very forward and throaty.

It's only a couple of months old and been played a bit at home but, of course, it's not been used in anger.

comes with Alpher branded hiscox case and a couple of tools for the truss rod and bridge adjustments

£1400 including shipping to mainland UK, anywhere else at buyer's expense. Local pickup is free. I also don't mind driving an hour or so from Edinburgh for a socially distanced handover.

Would consider trading for a Japanese Fender Mustang or other high end short scale (plus cash either way).

 

Specs:

- 21 frets

- 30 inch scale

- sapele body

- quarter sawn maple neck

- Pau Ferro fingerboard

- Luminlay side dots

- passive electronics

- 4kg

I remember calling Alpher about this very bass a while back! Lovely thing. I doubt it will hang around long.

That’s lovely. Is it short scale?

It is! I will amend the listing

This is bass is fantastic, and one of the best of its run.

If you want to hear it, I demo'd the whole set of six a few months ago.

Amazing demo - I lusted after the black one as soon as I saw it!

That was my favourite of the mini mako's it's a beauty. 

GLWTS I'm going to be very jealous of whoever ends up with this!

Lovely!!  I tried to buy the black one of this series, however it must have been within a few days of me raising the cash that some other bugger bought it!

If I had the cash it would likely already be in my arms!

Given the current situation, that's probably it!
