FS: RARE Phillips Bulldog 5 w/OHSC (Amber Ash)
I talked to Mr. Phillips himself, and he mentioned that he was trying to make a poor man's Fodera. I've never played a Fodera, but I can tell you this is a nice bass.
Specs from the website can be found here.
(* - from the website)
* special set neck construction for optimal tone
completely contoured/blended heel for smooth and easy access up to the 24th fret
* From swamp ash body wood.
The bass is fairly light for swamp ash.
* Scale Length: Five String Bulldog 35" scale
Very nice low B on this bass.
* 3 pc maple neck with two way truss rod and reinforcement bars.
rock solid neck, I rarely have to tune this bass.
* 24 frets
WOW!
* ABM style bridge
solid
* Active soapbar pickups with + or - 15 db bass and treble cut or boost
Very good tone.
Very flexible tone. bridge PU is burpy and tight, fat and thump neck, and combined is great too.
more specs:
The nut is 1 25/32 - 1.78125"
Looks like 16.5mm at the bridge.
the finish is "Amber Ash".
