FS: RARE Phillips Bulldog 5 w/OHSC (Amber Ash)

Sorry for the terrible photos....I'll get some better ones







I got this bass a few years ago. I love the bass, but I'm finding out I'm more of a J bass kinda guy.

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".

The bass is nearly flawless, and built EXTREMELY well. Better then any other import bass I've ever seen.

Feel free to ask me any questions....I'm always happy to help.

Overall, I know I'll regret selling this one.

I'd like to get $425 including shipping to the 48 continental states. I'll ship to Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska, but you'll have to cover the shipping difference.

I may be interested in trades.....give it a shot.
