NickSpector Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) I don't really want to sell this, as it's a great bass, but sadly my TVR has decided to spit the dummy out (it is 21 years old!). So, a new head gasket or engine is calling, so this has got to go! Firstly, the specs: • Neck: 3pc Maple, Graphite Rod Reinforced, Neck-Thru-Body • Body Wings: maple, with full face figured maple top • Fingerboard: 24 Fret, Rosewood, dot markers • Scale Length: 35" Now, this bass no longer has the original EMG HZ pickups in it, nor the EMG pre. What it has is an EMG 40P5 neck pickup, and an EMG 40DC bridge pickup. These are wired straight into the output jack. The tone is very punchy and clear, with anything from a nasally midrange bark from the bridge pickup, to a ballsy grunt from he neck pickup (effectively an active P split coil in a humbucker housing). This bass also has some fake inlays on it, a kind of sticker that looks VERY much like pearl inlay (they fooled me when I saw it!). Now for some pics! Looking for around £450 but open to offers. PM me for details. Thanks, Nick Edited March 5, 2010 by NickSpector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimefred Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 ah someone please snap this up. I had a 4 string holoflash one of these as my main bass for years n years and it was incredible. So much better than any of the other NS2000's they did. SOMEONE BUY IT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
