Opening a new thread for this baby. I've decided to put it on the block again......too many bills coming up...
Born 9/17/09, 5 string, all rosewood neck Ball Family Reserve, HSS pickup configuration. Beautiful flame top, gorgeous neck front and back. Absolutely pristine and mint. Absolutely no issues with this. I have babied this like I do with all my basses.
Certificate of Authenticity, 25th Anniversary HSC with ALL case candy and even the hang tag included. You will not find a better 5 string than this, in this condition.
This is a rare and very limited bass.
# 14 of 25 with the BFR All rosewood neck
1 of 6 made with the HSS pickup configuration
Gigged once, practiced with it a handful of times. This bass is a tone monster, is excellent live and even better recording. 18v active pre and has a passive switch. I really don't want to do this, but I have to.... 9.7 lbs on my digital scale
