WITHDRAWN Marusczyck Mr Tee Custom 5 string (E-C) 30" scale £750 High Wycombe

[pluckedout]

Withdrawn, am going to do some modding on this and sell something else!

 

Marusczyck Mr Tee Custom 5 string 30" bass. In excellent, near mint condition. This was built for me as a piccolo but then I changed my mind and converted a different Mr Tee into a piccolo. This has had the nut recut with Hosco files to make the slots bigger but actually the nut is more of a string guide than a true nut because it has a zero fret. It also originally had a string tree due to the piccolo strings but I have removed this as it's not necessary for the regular strings. You're welcome to have it if you really want it but it's currently on the other Mr Tee I mentioned. Currently strung with short scale flats.

 

3.7kg according to my bathroom scales

 

Beautifully made and sounds incredible, lovely to play. Comes with original gig bag, unused leather Marusczyck strap, unworn Marusczyck t-shirt (size S) and all the paperwork.

 

Can ship to UK only in a proper guitar carton. Not really looking for trades as I have all the gear I need but never say never! Would potentially be tempted with money your way for something vintage.

What’s it like tuned to a low B instead? Is the B string playable? 

[pluckedout]

Hi, I've never done it - I only play E-C but I think it would be playable as long as the strings were a lightish gauge

I have to say of the many weird and wonderful things that you see on basschat this looks quite unique and a whole lot of fun

 

E-C is a strange thing - it's bass but not quite, I really like the fact that this unashamedly pursues the E-C thing without compromise

 

Does it still have decent heft in more traditional bass roles?

[pluckedout]

Sure does! I have all my basses E-C as I play a lot of chords as well as Hooky-esque melodies, but it handles the bass end really well, and like most short scale basses, actually has a really solid low end thump.
