I recently acquired this bass in a gear deal. its in great shape, some buckle rubs on the back but no scratches through the clear. I dont know much about Conklin, im a Fender guy. so i attempted to do a little homework and figure it out, and this is what i found.....
Groove Tools basses feature Swamp Ash backs and 1/4" figured maple tops. The 34" scale neck is constructed of Wenge and Purpleheart with 24 fret Purpleheart fingerboards and Conklins' exclusive Off-Sides position markers, multi-laminate necks, beautifully sculpted neck heels and body contours and the perfectly balanced "Sidewinder" body style.
This GT-5 model features a Bartolini licensed pickups, a 3-band EQ and a preset "slap switch" which cuts the mids and boosts the bass and treble response for a wonderful slap and pop tone, two trim pots on the back control cavity cover which allow quick adjustments to the instruments overall output (gain) and the amount of slap effect from the "slap switch", a Master Volume, Pickup Blend (front, back or a mix of both), separate Bass, Midrange and Treble controls and the "slap switch".
Also features a highly contoured neck-heel and recessed neck bolts, split control cavity which allows for one screw battery cover removal and replacement, angled back headstock with volute for extra strength and off-sides dot position markers for easy viewing from top or side.( If any of this does not seam accurate im sure you all will let me know) I copied it from another site.
Sorry but it did not come with a case. And im not interested in any trades at this time, I figure shipping in the u.s. would cost about $50 or im on the central coast of california for pickup in person. |
