Description
This T30 bass is short scale and based on a combination of Telecaster and early Precision basses.
The beautiful Surf Blue body I used for this model was new and has a cream/white binding.
The bolt-on maple neck has a smooth satin finish and 2o frets and was a perfect fit for the telecaster neck pocket.
It is equipped with my Ultralite tuners (it has little or no neck dive) and 18mm bridge and has traditional Telecaster pickups, VT controls with a 3-way pickup selector giving a great range of tones.
It weighs in at around 8.2lbs, which means you can play for longer without tiring.
It currently has a nice low action which can easily be raised according to your taste. Strung with a brand new set of stainless Rotosound RB45 strings. (45, 65, 85, 105)
It sounds like the love-child of a Precision and a Jazz with the standard guitar pickups fitted. They give a surprisingly wide tonal range, making it a very useable bass.

Please note: I am not a factory, I am one man making and assembling unique parts and basses in my small workshop in Somerset. As such, some of my parts and guitars may have minor construction/tooling marks or scratches as well as the odd fingerprint etc. These are all a result of my artisan processes and although I try to keep such things to a minimum, they can sometimes creep in. If you are not happy with that then you may want to look elsewhere for alternatives. Also, I do my best to use recycled packaging whenever possible so sometimes the packaging may look “unconventional”. Please be assured that it will be completely up to the job of protecting your purchase and that it goes some way to reducing the cost and carbon footprint of my products. Thank you!
