MoonBassAlpha Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Hi Folks Fully functioning generally good condition neck-through headless bass. All maple construction. EMG select jazz pickups, 2band active eq, operates passive too (no dead battery misery!) The only issue this bass has is that the relief in the neck only adjusts so far, then stops. With 45-100 strings on this means there is just under 1mm relief in the middle of the board when fretted at 1 and 24. It Plays fine with no rattles. The neck is stable, narrow width but reasonably deep by a lot of modern bass standards (round C-shape), string spacing 10mm nut, 18mm bridge. There are also photos of scratches along the fingerboard (repair?) by the first 2 frets. These can't be felt when playing. I own 3 of these, and one has been my sole gigging bass since '91, not let me down once, and never even broken a string. This was bought as a twin to the one I defretted, but I've not really used it since I got it, and now have a SEI... The sound is quite organic, woody, though the eq can dial in nice cutting top and dubby bass. Any takers?

MoonBassAlpha Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Am I asking too much for this? If so, what would be considered right? Cheers Jules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Maybe the trussrod/relief issue is putting people off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Guess so. It's something you would need to try for yourself and decide if it makes that much difference. Still, as an inexpensive backup it's still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance, it doesn't really need any work done. If you would like and honest independant appraisal of how it plays, King Tut (Colin) had a good play on it when he came over to buy an amp off me. I'm sure if you PM him he will give you the score on it. At this price you can't really go wrong for a backup bass. First person to offer this on here gets it, remember it is collection, or meet up reasonably close to Oxford. Cheers Jules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
