Wilcock Longscale (1/1!) - *SOLD* £1500 Newton Abbot

[MattParkerBass]

So if you know of Viv Wilcock's incredible range of Mullarkey shortscales, this will be a real treat! Essentially a longscale Mullarkey in terms of spec, this was made by Viv as a bit of an experiment and I believe it's the only one that's ever been made! 

 

Handmade by Viv in London, it's a gorgeous lightweight alder body with somic blue finish and matching headstock, maple neck with rosewood board and Hipshot hardware throughout.

 

It also features custom Armstrong pickups (the same as in the Mullarkey but with soapbar covers) and a push/pull tone pot for the neck pickup, making it even more versatile!

 

It plays really well, is exceptionally resonant and sounds great. Nice condition overall but some small marks on the back as pictured. 

 

A new Mullarkey is £3k from the bass gallery now so this is a steal! Happy to post.

Corr, that’s lush!  Familiar but different.  Very well balanced visually.  Damn fine.
