Beautiful NJ6 34.5" scale with an ash body with a maple top. The neck is maple, bubinga, and wenge. The fingerboard, ramp, and pickup covers are cocobolo. This bass has dual coils with a series/single/parallel switch for each one and a mid frequency switch for the Aguilar OBP-3 preamp. I'm not playing 6 anymore so I'm selling all my 6 string basses. Asking is $2,800. I'll take Paypal.

Argh- that's Lamar's old bass- I always loved it. Trade for a bunch of paintings, a tambourine, and four sandwiches? :D

I just cannot get over what an artist Carey is. His basses are so beautiful!

Wev,i remember dreaming and envying
about one of those (and singlecuts too), before i purchased my boutique 6er .
The pics alone already transmit the sensation of :"i rule the tones ,man ,use me".
I would abuse. .

Yes it is...I believe Carey used strong double face tape...but I have not tried to removed it yet. My last 6 strings..I took off the ramp.

Thanks, I am not a ramp player. Oh man, I have looked at the pix of this thing on Carey's site for a long time. And now here it is!!! Serious GAS pains, inner conflict, deep breaths....

that was a happening bass, after many failed attemps, I am the worst 6 player, and my hands just couldn't take it on long gigs. BTW, Carey made that neck close to smith dimensions for a 6er if that makes a difference, there is a thread about the king of 6ers, and I think we know Ken has a crown somewhere!

I guess that makes Carey Maximus or something.....

Sorry to hijack this thread.:D

Actually my MTD 635 has 18mm spacing, which I can and will live with, but I'd prefer 17mm.
