Trades now considered!!!! See below.
I'm not sure why, but I am going to attempt to sell this bass. I really like it, but I have mostly decided that my Roscoe Beck V can give me the same tone, and with its other tonal options and its rarity, it makes sense that it is the keeper. In addition, my regular gig is on DB these days anyway, and I need to invest in some items for my big girl.
This bass is a 2008 American made passive bass. There are no blemishes on it whatsoever. I have installed Nordstrand PUs. The model number of the pickups is NJ5FS if you are interested. The bass sounds great with these PUs. It has a tighter bottom end punch and, obviously, is mouse quiet. Of course, I will include the stock Fender PUs should you wish make your own decision.
The bass is actually the best playing one that I have. The neck is extremely comfortable, and it is FAR lighter than the RBV. I would describe it as unexpectedly light and guess it to be 9 lbs or so at most. Currently strung with a fresh set of DR Long Necks.
The price is $1,000 shipped to anywhere in the greater 48 states. The sale includes the original hardshell case, the Fender truss tool and any of the originally included items that I can locate. I am certain I still have the strap (unused). Not a bad deal considering the bass would be $1400 new plus another $200 for the Nordstrand pickups. Paypal is preferred.
I would consider shipping out of the U.S., but please note that the seller should be prepared to pay actual shipping and insurance. Further, I WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, falsify any customs documents in any way including statements as to the nature of the item, the origin of the item, my relationship to the buyer or the reason that the item is being shipped into the country in order to attempt to relieve any customs charges that the buyer may be asked to pay. (Sorry for the little rant, but I have been amazed by some of the things I have been asked to do by those wishing to buy from out of country
)
Thank you in advance for your interest.
