Seller's description

NL - USA, ca. 1978 (#21204) Zware, op sustain gebouwd basgitaar met aluminium hals. De hals heeft twee houten (ovangkol) inlegstrips die moeten voorkomen dat de hals te koud aanvoelt. De toets is uit ebonol. Body uit ovankol, met rockmaple/walnoot/rockmaple laminaat in het midden. De pickups zijn humbuckers, en ze zijn vrij extreem geplaatst, zodat de halspickup erg vol klinkt en de brugpickup lekker helder.  Beiden nèt iets meer dan we doorgaans gewend zijn. De potmeters en condensatoren zijn niet origineel, maar wel CTS/ Sprague orange drop 715 series. Wat geniaal is, is het volgende:  De halspickup heeft als toneknop de gebruikelijke passieve low pass filter die we gewend zijn. Maar de brugpickup heeft hier een passieve high pass filter! Je kunt dus het laag van de halspickup mengen met het hoog van de brugpickup. Erg gaaf! Verder is alles aan deze bas volledig origineel en in goede staat, De originele Schaller M4 mechanieken zitten er nog op, en zelfs de houten pickup rings zijn nog heel, en de strap buttons zijn nog de originele typen.  De perfecte bass voor een bassist die anders durft te klinken en niet terugdeinst voor wat gewicht.. ENG - USA, ca.1978 (#21204) Heavy, built to sustain bass with aluminium neck. The neck has two inlaid wooden strips (shedua) to keep your hands from cooling down while playing. The fingerboard is made of ebonol, a phenolic substitute for ebony.  The body is made out of Shedua, with a rockmaple/walnut/rockmaple centreblock. The pickups are humbuckers, and they are placed near their tonal extremes. The neck pickup sounds wooly while the bridge pickup sounds bright. Both just a tad more than we are commonly used to. The pots and caps are no longer original, but not to fear: The new pots are CTS/USA types and the caps are Sprague 715 series Orange drops. The passive circuitry has some genius here: The neck pickup has the regular passive low pass tone controll, but the bridge pickup got a non-standard passive high pass filter
