**REDUCED £800** - Custom Cocobolo Waghorn Sauria 4 string bass - *SOLD* £1000 Sheffield

[Devers95]

Reduced to £800. Going no lower. Cheers.

 

 

Next up in my 'help fix my house' sale is my long loved Custom Waghorn Sauria Bass. 

 

A lesser known but incredible luthier, Tom Waghorn built this for me 10 years ago. It features the following: 

 

Maple and wenge neck-thru, cocobolo capped Swamp ash body wings, plus walnut veneers. Cocobolo fingerboard, Delano P/J/humbucker pickups, Seymour Duncan 3 band active preamp. A side a few expexted light scratches on the back from 10 years of use its completely undinged/unmarked elsewhere. It has been well looked after.

 

I *think* the radius is your standard 9.5 but it may be a bit flatter as it feels way faster to play but that may just be me. 

 

 

It cost me £2000 10 years ago. Tom's waitlist is a couple of years now and this would run £3000+. As far as build quality goes it's second-to-none. A lot of sentimental value with this bass but I think my price is sensible. 

 

Weight is 4.1kg.

 

Its original hixcox case is broken and gone but it now lives in a Fender hardcase which is included. Happy to ship if buyer arranges currier.

 

Any Qs give me a shout! Cheers.

I know Tom and the guys in his shop. He’s one of the UK’s leading luthiers and is a truly lovely chap. 
 

I have no doubts that this is an amazing bass. Good luck with the sale.

Totally. Tom's build quality and attention to detail is fantastic. Stands against my Fodera easily. I dont know how but the tone is super nice, really musical sounding. It was originally passive but I had Tom install a preamp a couple of years ago.

Massive basschat bargain right here! Tom’s work is right up there! And that’s coming from someone that loves their Shukers!

Very nice and well equipped; it should sound like a monster bass this one 👌🏻

Looks like a great bass for that money! What's the neck profile and the nut width?

Oof! I was hoping you'd say it was skinny so I could stop drooling over it.

Haha, I wanted it modelled on my P bass at the time but with 24 frets. It feels great.

If I hadn't been hit with a completely unexpected bill for almost exactly 800 quid this morning I'd have been beating a path to your door for this. Good luck with the sale - someone is going to get a fantastic and unique bass!
