Newfoundfreedom Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I generally really don't like black basses, and I don't like Fenders. But somehow that's gorgeous! I'm confused. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affectionally named “Beefy” because this was a dedicated drop tuning BEAD bass, and because of the resonate solid Ash body. It’s modelled after the iconic 51 P bass. Has a maple neck with thick "C" profile, rosewood slab fretboard and classic '51 Telecaster® headstock shape. With Fender stamped 70s tuners and a Hipshot Tuner Xtender Key BT2. Fender HiMass™ bridge. There are some marks, scratches and dings commensurate with age, but in general very good condition. The bass has been in my studio for a while unplayed as I don’t use drop tuning much these days, and the D’Addario strings are a little old. So the bass would probably benefit from some new strings and a good service to get it tip top again. I did plug the bass in and still sounds great. Specs below: Year – 2008 Colour – Black Body Finish – Gloss Body Wood – Ash with forearm contour Neck Finish – Satin Neck Wood – Maple Fretboard – Rosewood Fingerboard Radius - 9.5” Nut Width - 1.59" (40.4 mm) Frets – 20 Scale Length – 34” Weight – 10.11bs/4.8kgs Electronics – Passive Pickups – Fender P Split Coil Bridge - Fender HiMass™ with Chrome-Plated Zinc Saddles Tuners - Fender stamped 70s Style + Hipshot Tuner Xtender Key BT2 £495 + Postage.

jezzaboy Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 If that is the original pickup in the bass, it`s a monster sound! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the shapeshiter feature was that? Or am I "blaspheming" here? ... also I understand the difference from a mechanical tool worth 30 £ vs a digital tool worth 200 maybe Edited September 24, 2023 by mrbacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it couldn't shift a single string. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
