lafrite Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) Designed in 1984 by Jonas Hellborg himself for Melody Guitars (closed 20 years ago). This bass is extremely rare, especially with this natural finish. Features : Neck-thru Mapple body and neck Rosewood fingerboard 27 fret fingerboard (Yes! 27!!) Shadow humbucking pick ups with 3-position switches for selecting humbucking - single coil - out of phase String holder on the back side of the body : to release tension from tailpiece which gives maximum sustain. Panpot between bass and treble pick up makes it possible to set the balance and change the volume maintaining the sound. All passive, this increadible bass sounds with fantastics mediums and huge attack. The 27 frets allow great melodic possibilities. Perfectly set, very low action with a brand new very light gauge string (30-90 GHS bass boomer). Very good condition, some very light wear due to its age, and a rub mark on the edge where the arm rests.

Pick up in Paris or London, I come to London every 2 weeks. Edited May 26, 2010 by lafrite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
