I got a sweater and three pairs of socks for Xmas so it looks like I'm gonna have to spring for my own present. Before I blow a bundle on myself, I need to lighten my existing inventory and raise some funds. And away we go!....
First up is my Hanewinckel Retro 5. Can't recall the DOM but here are the specs:
*Neck - 3 piece maple, birdseye maple fingerboard.
*Tuners - Hipshot Ultralites in full chrome, not the typical satin.
*Body - not sure of the wood but finished in a cream white with a nifty gold anodized pickguard (what's a pick?).
*Bridge - Hipshot chrome.
*Strap Buttons - Dunlop locking system.
*Pickups - Bartolini jazz style. Not sure if they're HC or SC but I've never encountered any buzz or hum.
*Elex - Bart two-band preamp, volume, blend.
*Hardshell case in good condition.
*Weight - 8 - 8.5 lbs...lightest bass I own.
*Condition - 9 / 10 and that's conservative. Slight finish dimple on the reverse and minor scratches on the PG.
Although slightly wider, the neck profile is similar to my Pedulla Rapture 5 and set for medium-low action with no buzzes or rattles. Asking $1500 shipped and I'll install a new set of strings before boxing her up.
Next up is my Kinal MK-5B. Once again, I'm not sure of the DOM but the S/N is #75.
*Neck - Highly-figured 7 piece flamed maple w/ walnut (?) stringers. Pau Ferro fingerboard.
*Tuners - Hipshot chrome / satin.
*Body - looks like Alder to me. Quilted maple cap in amber....nice!
*Bridge - Hipshot.
*Strap Buttons - Dunlop locking system.
*Pickups - Bartolini soapbars.
*Elex - Bart 3-band preamp. Volume / blend / bass / mid with 3-way freq. selector switch / treble. 3-way single / series / parallel selector for the bridge pup. EQ defeat switch so you can A/B your setting against the unaffected / flat tone.
*Hardshell case in good condition.
*Weight - ~9 lbs.
*Condition - 8.5 / 10. Minor clear coat blems on body, one on back of neck.
String spacing on the Kinal is somewhat tighter @ 16.5-17 mm (Hipshot bridge allows limited spacing manipulation). Asking $1250 shipped.
Thanks for looking and, as always, PM me with any questions.
