Description Brand: Wilkes Body Colour: Black Right-/ Left-Handed: Right-Handed Size: Full Size Body Type: Solid String Configuration: 4 String Body Material: Solid Wood Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom
For sale a piece of UK bass history. Made in 1985 by Doug Wilkes.
Great instrument, everything is really high quality. The electronics are a little bit too crazy for me thoughwith a 3 way switch, master volume, balance blend(?) and 2 band bass and treble EQ.
I think the body is mahogany with maple neck and really nice Macassar ebony fretboard.
Bridge and tuners are Shaller - the bridge is really cool, you can even adjust string spacing to your desired setting.
The neck is a bit thicker than the standard jazz (1.7inch at the nut) but really comfortable and all the frets are really easily accessible. The pickup covers seem to be mahogany too but I am not 100% sure.
The body has some signs of wear, dings and bumps but nothing terrible. One of the previous owners has painted some of the chips, therefore - against the light you can see some paint in those places. The neck is almost perfect though (quite weird) with only one small imperfection at the back - hard to capture on the photo.
Truss rod working fine, all electronics better than you'd expect from an 30+ year old instrument.Please contact me regarding courier options if you want it send outside of UK mainland.
