Hello, killer bass up for sale here. My full Warmoth custom Fenderbird build.



For a full 10 minute HD video walkthrough of the entire bass, please go here...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxX0bQJ4Qo



On January 26th I'm marrying my sweetheart, & purchasing my first home so I'm selling all I own that I don't literally use everyday. I love this bass but I haven't had a chance to make it my full time player. I acquired this bass slightly used basically as you see it here from a buddy of mine and I've gigged with it for only one set. I don't believe the previous owner used the bass much either.

This bass plays awesome, it has always been adult owned, kept in a smoke free home away from humidity, and sounds huge. I've been able to get tones from Jarred Followill (K.O.L.) to John Entwistle (The Who) and all in between.


To build this bass you'd spend about $1750. And I've recently seen a similar Fenderbird up for sale with half the mojo for hundreds of dollars more.

SOLD for $790 SHIPPED. Thank you everybody!




Build Specs...

•Warmoth Mahogany T-Bird 4-String Body (raised center section, special HipShot individual bridge routing, Apricot Flake finish, shielding painted control cavity) $625.00

•Warmoth Birdseye Maple Precision 1 & 11/16" Nut Width Neck with Birdseye Maple Fingerboard (21 fret, steel reinforcement rods, White Corian nut, Clear Gloss Finish) $375.00

•Lace Alumitone Bass Bar Pickups (black anodized) $200.00

•HipShot USA 'Triple Lock Down' Individual String-Through Bridges (black, BRAND NEW unused saddles just installed) $100.00

•HipShot USA Ultralite Tuning Machines (Custom matte silver/matte black from American Marcus Miller V) $100.00

•Brand New Elixer XL Medium strings, string tree, Dunlop strap locks (with strap pieces included in case), knobs, pots, wiring, input jack & plate, neck plate, hardware... $100.00ish

•Luthier Assembly & Setup Charges $250.00ish

•Custom Epiphone T-Bird Hard Shell Case (modded to fit Warmoth variant perfectly) $125.00



If you buy this bass, be prepared to spend 20 minutes per gig talking to fans/fellow players asking about it. It's a head tuner like no other. The Apricot Flake is such a bad ass color. It can be "bright" in direct light, but really tames down in the shadows and looks Wine Red. The contrasting clear gloss maple fret board sets the whole bass off.

This is the perfect Fenderbird build in my opinion. Perfect amount of original vintage Entwistle vibe mixed with modern/new age details like the Alumitone pups, black hardware, etc...


Mentionable Imperfections:
•3-4 small 'nicks' in the flake finish around the "under your forearm" area (shown in detail in the video)
•Some very typical flake finish removed around truss rod access hole (shown in detail in the video)
•Edge of the Nut is off half way UNDER the E string groove (shown in detail in the video)


Please view my 100% positive feedback for buyer peace of mind. Also feel free to message me with ANY questions that you may have. I'll gladly send you my cell phone number as well if you prefer to communicate over the phone like I often do.

This bass will be professionally packaged and reinforced in it's molded hardshell case, then boxed and padded more. It will be shipped insured for its full value as well.

Thank you all!

Thanks for the payment! I find it funny how a piece of equipment for sale sits for days with no hits, then as soon as it sells 3 people want to buy it right away.
