L/H Palm Bay Cyclone Custom £350 Manchester

[josh3184]

Hi all, having a bit of a clearout as I have way too many basses and guitars. Please check out my other threads:
Basses

- Sandberg TT5

- 1978 Fender Precision

- 1987 Warwick Streamer Stage One

Guitars
- G&L ASAT Tribute

 

This is a left handed guitar by Palm Bay. It is a "Cyclone" model and was modified by the French London-based luthier Philippe Dubreuille in around 2006. The modifications are:

 

• The headstock logo has been removed, you can find the original serial number inside the bridge pickup routing cavity.
• The ebony fretboard has been extended from 22 to 24 Jumbo frets.
• The maple neck d-shaped has been glued on to a mahogany body with a quilted maple top.
• The faulty Gotoh floyd rose has been upgraded with a customised silver Floyd Rose® FRT-O5000 base plate with black Schaller saddles, block inserts and tightening screws. Unfortunately I've managed to lose the tremolo arm but these are easily available online. The Floyd has had a full setup.
• It has a Dimarzio f-spaced Deactivator in the bridge and a vintage Seymour Duncan hot rail pickup in the neck.
• Controls are 1 volume, 1 tone, 1 three way switch and a kill switch.
• Fitted with black Schaller strap locks and a black Ernie Ball strap.
• Comes with the original Palm Bay hardcase

 

 

Some signs of use given its ages but it sounds absolutely fantastic. The bridge pickup is a particular favourite of mine.

 

I'm vaguely open to trades but it'd have to be something quite special or alternatively something that has more than one of my instruments in the trade. I'm looking to slim down the collection so cash is much preferred. I am open to postage but would prefer collection if possible.

 

Please let me know any questions, happy to help
