🤤**2023 Docwood hand-built, totally unique BiSonic/T-bird J-bass!**🤩 - *SOLD* £600 Sevenoaks TN13 or London EC1

[DaveBilling]

Totally one of a kind bass built by Docwood (Davide Palumbo), a brilliant luthier creating vintage-style basses out of Palermo, Sicily. 

This beast has a GUILD BISONIC pickup at neck position for the fattest, muddiest vintage tones (just take a pick to that 😍) and a LOLLAR T-BIRD pickup at "P" position. 

This was built for me in 2023 primarily as a recording bass and has never been gigged. It cost €2050 Euros. Almost immaculate except for very light belt buckle mark on rear (pic attached). Has Gotoh hardware and a Hipshot D-tuner. 

Would rather not post/courier this. Preferably to collect from Sevenoaks (on M25) or from London EC1 (near Farringdon tube).

- guild bs1 pickup

- lollar tbird pickup

- vol/ vol/ tone wiring

That’s lovely. 
 

Where’s the body and the neck from? 

[DaveBilling]

Thanks! It's all built from scratch. The body is Alder, the neck maple. Here it is being made!

Amazing, that is an interesting bass! I'm also Sevenoaks based so may have to pop round to give it a test drive - although currently I'm in France until 26th August. Out of interest, what's the neck dimensions on this? 

[Cosmo Valdemar]

That is magnificent. And local.

I'm tempted...

[Raelmerry]

If you decide to post, I'd be interested.

What is the weight please?

[DaveBilling]

4.1 kg

[DaveBilling]

I am unwilling to post as there's quite a lot of interest from local buyers already.

Very lovely, also pretty local. Is it a Jazz neck (38mm nut and slim profile) or is it a bit more chunky? 

[DaveBilling]

Hello, yes it is pretty much a jazz neck, c. 37mm at the nut - but I wouldn't call the profile slim, it's got a bit more heft to it. 

[Grooverjr]

Too slim at the nut for me, unfortunately but someone is going to get a lovely bass there! 

[Dunk]

Hi.. listing describes the finish as a tobacco burst which I’m guessing is just an error? Is it a Matt olive finish or are my eyes deceiving me? It wouldn’t be the first time! 

[DaveBilling]

Ha! You're quite right. Those specs were from an earlier conversation with the luthier. It's matt olive indeed. (Military drab?). I'll correct above.
