£750 this weekend FS John Douglas (luthier) Les Paul bass 6, neck through, gold top £800 High Wycombe

[pluckedout]

Custom made for me a few years back, this is a superb neck through Les Paul version of a Bass 6, 30" scale, wenge neck and body, flame maple top under a nitro gold top. As it wears, that flame will reveal itself and it will look even more incredible. Seymour Duncan p90 stacked humbucker with coil tap on the volume control (pull up). Sounds immense - but it is heavy. 5kg...it used to be heavier if you can believe that! It went back to John for some additional weight relief (hence the different grained sections on the back, this is where the weight relief happened and then John made wooden covers to fill the weight relief pockets). Definitely more of a studio than stage instrument unless you have stronger shoulders than me.

 

Some very minor marks but overall in very good condition.

 

I love this thing but since getting an even more special bass 6 (EB2 converted to EB6...) I just don't use this enough and I need the space. Comes with old but high quality padded gig bag. Can be collected or can be posted at cost.

Nice reveal in the photo order. That's an unusual one but looks great.

Would love to add this to my JD collection. 5 so far 😂😂 I do remember this being made but just a tad out of my price range atm.

Because I am exercising a strange level of self-control.

There's a lot to be said for giving in 🙂
