casapete Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) Time for me to part with this little beauty - kitchen renovation turning out to be more extensive than I first thought. I love this bass, it's just one of those instruments that makes you smile as soon as you pick it up. I've used it with my acoustic duo, both into a bass combo and straight into the PA and it's ace - kind of woody / upright-ish sounding that sits well with other instruments. It plays really well. Great for home as well as stage use. Brief Spec. Top Material: Solid Spruce Back and Sides Material: Layered Sapele Nut & Saddle: Nubone Nut/Micarta Saddle Scale Length: 23-1/2" Number of Frets: 20 Rosette Size: Three Ring Strings: DAddario Custom Light (.037, .050, .062, .090") Tuners: Chrome (100/200) Bridge Pins: Black Polycarbonate Finish: Varnish Neck Width: 1-11/16" Fretboard Inlay: 4mm Dot Italian Acrylic Neck/Heel: Sapele Fretboard Wood: Ebony Electronics: ES-B Case: GS Mini-e Bass Gigbag It would seem to have been made on 4th November 2017 according to Taylor, so is one of the earlier models. It is in excellent condition, with just a few blemishes in the satin finish which you have to look for in the right light- certainly a good 9/10. The solid spruce top has some great figuring (see pics). I've just restrung it with a set of new D'Addarios, and the used set are included as spares too. It comes in the original Taylor rigid / well padded gig bag that protects it very well, and is also in excellent condition. I think I've priced this to sell - a quick search has seen them going s/h for anywhere between £550 and £700, so £450 is a good price. The equivalent model new on Thomann is currently £859. Cash on collection would be good! However, I will deliver / meet up within a reasonable distance of Brough (HU15 postcode area) for my diesel costs. I can also offer postage / courier at your expense, subject to finding a box. It shouldn't be too expensive as it is very light and compact. The gig bag will offer a lot of protection for this too. If you need to know any more or need more pics then please PM me. ( I have good feedback selling stuff on here too). Thanks for looking. Cheers.

Richard R Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 That's lovely, plus anything by Taylor will sound great. It's very tempting, especially as a travel bass and I am away quite a bit. But I'm not sure it would help with what actually I need to practice - which is reliably moving down to the 2nd and 3rd frets on the 35" five stringers I already own. ☹️ So have a bump, as the best I can offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
