Hey To All TBers

I'm really diggin on getting a new bass to play with, so I dropped the price of this DP Custom 5 to $1k.

This 2004 model hasn't been played since it's recent setup; which included a complete fret dressing, reintonation with new strings and another Tung oil rub-down. You can see all the specs by using the TXT link below.

While most of this work was being done (by Rusan Guitar Works), I got pics with the strings off to better view the wood & hardware, so don't forget to view them. People tell me this machine looks great & is a real piece of art. I myself am blind, so what do I know. :)

Hardware includes Hipshot ultralight machines, & a Leo Quann BA-V bridge.
Electronics consist of the Aguilar OBP3 and custom fit Passive HH PUs by Aero Instrument.
All hardware and electronics perform flawlessly .

BodyWings, NeckThrough & Fretboard are all made of beautiful exotic hardwoods.

This bass has never been gigged, nor even put into a party setting, so there's nothing more than minor dings. Please read the attached TXT for details.


Though I'm asking $1k, trades are certainly welcome.

Trades: Fairly recent USA Fenders {AVRI?} & G&Ls, a scarred MM Ray? a beat up Sad?
There are many I might like, so just let me know what you’ve got.

With this machine, you get:
PayPal fees & insured shipping paid, gig bag, one trussrod wrench and one bridge wrench.
{Sorry, continental USA only}

Thanks to all for looking.

Bummer man! I hope it's not a bad pic. I can't see pics myself and nobody's mentioned this to me before. I can absolutely guarantee the PU is not cracked though.

My appologies if I seem to be a bit dopey. Apparently my inexperience causes me to unknowingly close my threads.
This thread is still open.

Thats just looks like dripping oil or something.

Hmmm... I'll have to get a couple of sighted people to check out the P/U, as well as that pic. I (and everybody else) need to know whether it's the P/U or the pick that is dirty. I'll let you all know.

Thanks

O.K. I got the skinny now. It's not the pic; it was an oil drip on the bridge P/U. (I don't know why I wasn't told of this by those assisting me with the pics, but...

Be assured that P/U has already gotten a cleanup. Just to make certain, I WILL get a second opinion.

Thanks for informing me of the flawed pic.

No problem... glad it's not cracked. nice bass. I'd consider it if I was in the market for one right now.

Wow man! Nobody wants her, eh?

Well, if no reasonable trade offers/interest comes up soon, she'll be off to ebay.

Sorry BirminghamBass. I should've answered this sooner. By the bathroom scale (non-digital) It weighs just under 11lbs.
