SOLD
I'm the original owner of this bass. I've had it for 9 years now. It's a beautiful bass, with a very unique finish. It's definitely roadworn. It has pentip sized small indents on the front, and a good amount of belt rash in the back that isn't really noticeable unless you tilt it a certain way in the light. Pics definitely won't show any of it. The neck is mint on both sides. I'm trying to give full disclosure, I wouldn't want anyone to be unhappy with it. It's definitely a 'player'. Quite a few bassist friends have tried this bass out over the years on my gigs, and I still get questions about it, they loved playing it. I've had many people wanting actually buy it from me over the years, but I would never let it go until now. This bass has high sentimental value to me.
Neck is straight as an arrow, and it plays like butter. The Aguilar pre really shines with this bass. It has a clean, precise, but warm type of tone to it. It can definitely get growl if you want it. The EQ is very versatile. You have to watch the low end, as with any aguilar pre, just a little bit is usually more than enough. It has ALWAYS been babied and well taken care of. It's a 2002 model that was special designed. I believe there are only 16 of these out there. This one is #004!!! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

"This very special edition bass was designed by our Michael Oughton with Stuart Spector and is the perfect balance of visual aesthetics and state of the art electronics. The two-piece body is sculpted from AAAA maple in the classic Ned Steinberger contoured body style. The neck is crafted from hard rock maple with a Pao Ferro fingerboard, graphite reinforcement rods, and the signature Spector brass nut for brightness and sustain. Featured in this bass is the ADM (Advanced Dynamic Magnetics) pickup system. The pickup is a humbucking Villex passive pickup with the proprietary Villex toroidal inductor midrange control. The signal is then routed through the incomparable Aguilar OBP-1 active preamp, making this an 18 volt system capable of creating a full palette of bass colors.
Boutique basses with these type of features typically start at sale prices in excess of $2700. This bass, produced in the wilds of Saugerties, NY, lists for less than these basses sale prices. With a list of $2400 and a sale price of $1899, this is the “working professional’s” bass."
The electronics used Villex's mid control and an Aguilar OBP-1. Aguilar's controls on that unit are passive boost (with an active circuit) only, and combined with the Villex passive mid pot that made a sweet sounding 3-band EQ.
