MattW Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 (edited) I know I'm going to regret this but needs must as I have to raise some funds for a new PA. I've had this for about 6 months having purchased it directly from David at Retrovibe. My son has a 504 and it's brilliant, and I love stingray style basses, so when this came up I bought it on impulse. Since then it's had very light home use only, as I've mainly been gigging 5 string. Basically offers Musicman tones, with a jazz neck and 2 octaves. Lightweight at only 3.8kg or 8.2lb. The colour is amazing but hard to capture. Trying to photograph it at home this evening under artificial lights hasn't really worked, so the first photo is the stock one from when I bought it. Will update with current photos when I can take some good ones, but it's as new. £365 collected from Chelmsford or £385 posted at buyers risk. I am also working for a Tour next month (Oct) and will be up and down most of the country at various times other than the South West (but will be in Cardiff), so happy to meet at a venue. This is what David said about the bass: When the Davie504/EVO basses were in production I kept this one back because I had always wanted to create a modified model with a white MM-pickup and tort pickguard. I finally managed to source the white pickups and so here she is – a unique Davie504/EVO with all chrome hardware in a gorgeous surf green. I also added the essential parallel/series switch which I felt had been a serious omission when the bass was in production. Specification Body: Red Cedar Body Colour: Surf Green Controls: Volume, 2 x Tone, series/parallel switch Bridge: 4-string, high-mass, chrome BB404 Pickups: Retrovibe MM-style Alnico 12k (6k+6K) Neck: Maple, bolt-on construction, D-profile Fretboard: Maple with dots Frets: 24 Scale length: 34 inches Width at nut: 38mm String spacing at bridge: 19mm Edited September 15 by MattW 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
