franzbassist Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) [b][color="#FF0000"]GONE[/color][/b] Fantastic piccolo bass from Joe Veillette's workshop in Woodstock! This bass weighs just 7lbs and is 26.1" scale. It was designed to be strung BEAD or EADG with nylon strings (specifically, the bottom four from the La Bella BG-10 set) tuned an octave higher than a normal bass guitar. Pickup is an NB Ducer 4000 from Japan with a D-Tar Timberline 18 volt Preamp. Controls are a simple Volume and Tone. Poplar body with a quilted maple top, wenge/ebony bridge and wenge fingerboard on, I assume, a maple neck. It's in very good condition, with just two tiny nicks on the headstock and one on the top. Chrome Gotoh tuners and Dunlop straplocks. The package is rounded out by a Levys gigbag.
