The only change I have made to it is the change in tuning from an uncrossed 4ths tuning (i.e. a 5 string guitar and a 5 string bass as separate string sets) to the standard 10 string stick tuning of inverted bass 5ths and straight melody 4ths (please see stick enterprises' website for more information on tunings). It is constructed of aircraft grade aluminium, and the rail pickups on it are absolutely top notch; responding perfectly to all my amps and effects as well as keeping up with the crisp high notes of the melody side and not getting muddy of flabby with the low C of the bass side (below the E of a standard 4 string bass).
I've had to select this one to sell on simply because my other instruments are in an unsellable state and I could not adapt my bassist fingers to playing the rails of the instrument. Tapping and fretting on a solid wood neck is far too ingrained for me, and I just didn't have the more attentive style of a stick player to adapt to it. Having picked up other such tapping instruments after the Sonorus, I found the rails to be a dream, but my playing style was not delicate enough.
I will include the free hardcase I got with the instrument, as well as the certificate of authenticity and 3 strap locks (as 3 strap lock pins are already present on the instrument, all you will need is a strap on which you can attach the locks) that are very handy for keeping the tapper safe and secure whilst playing.
All that I ask is a total payment of £620 through external purchase, or £640 through ebay as the instrument was purchased for £650 (£20 of the total price will go towards half of the shipping cost simply because of how much courier services hate musical instrument dimensions, the other half will be paid by me). I would prefer a payment of £300 through paypal or bank transfer after I package the instrument, but before I ship it, and then the remaining £320 once you have received it. If you have any other requests regarding this payment method, please let me know as this is the only way I have traded in instruments through paypal (having sold various basses through facebook).*PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS INSTRUMENT IS EXACTLY AS I PURCHASED IT*As of making this post, it will likely take me a few days to go get the instrument from back home, order a cardboard postage box and organise a delivery service (UPS).If you have any questions regarding this post, please let me know and I will be happy to answer.
