51m0n Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Received today, from Bassdirect, my 50th birthday present, a tad late (I'm 51 next month!) because Bartolini have been stuffed by Covid. Mark has kept me up to date all the way through the process though, and I had a few offers of alternatives through the process. Just really wanted Barts in it. Here are the specs:- Century 5 + Fretless •Spanish Cedar Body, •Flamed Koa top •Finish - Natural satin finish •Three piece Maple neck with contrasting stringers •Fingerboard - Lined Black Diamondwood (resin, pressure impregnated wood) •Graphtech nut •35" Scale - 2 octave •Bartolini 3-band pre amp with volume, pan, treble/bass stack, mid/mid freq select push/pull (250/800hz) •Bartolini JJ Pickup in the JB position •Black ultralight Gotoh tuners •Black Hipshot B style bridge in Aluminium Sounds absolutely fantastic! Feels incredible to play, silky smooth neck. A tiny bit heavier than my Century Standard fretted, but in the same ballpark. Love how it looks though! Colour me chuffed 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 I think the neighbours may have gone off me - turns out they aren't very keen on Sledgehammer (probably fairly badly) through a Barefaced BigTwin until the windows rattle... Oops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
