I sold this bass locally to someone who did not complete paying me so I picked it back up. During the meanwhile I purchased a 6 string Ken Smith so I really dont need this one as well. This bass was built by Mr.Lofquist who builds all of the Surine basses for a friend of his which is why he put his name at the top instead of the Surine Logo. The specs are:
Bartolini Soap Bar Pickups with Barto active tone system including three band boost/ cut
35" scale
Burled Brazilian Rosewood top cap over Honduras Mahogany Core- the rear cap is a good visual match using aged Indian Rosewood.
Neck is a three piece Hard Maple design with an ebony finger board
Finished in a low maintenance Satin Nitrocellulose
Gold Hardware
19mm string spacing
He used the Surine Protocol specs:

The Price is $1650+ Shipping

i'm a surine nut. as i always say: surine is sublime! that's a gorgeous bass and someone should snap that up. i've owned 4, including scott's former personal bass, used by christina aguilera's bassist for her last world tour, and stamped as the first.... i mean first.....quest 5 string SN 001! my current surine is a quest performaxe X 5 string that took 8 months to build. this is an unbelievable bass. just because it's a six string, don't even think for a minute you can't play metal w/these babies. the only bass i can hit the licks "note for note" with on Disturbed's "Deify" is my fretless 5 string quest performaxe "X". this price is absolutely obscene for such a quality bass and it is absolutely true that mr. lofquist is the "nuts and bolts" guy behind these basses.
