Unhappy 7 String Groove Tools Bass FS 750$

Sign in to disble this ad
Wish I didn't need the money. Here it is....
My very own 7 string Conklin groove tools bass. Red wine finish. Outstanding tone woods and surprising playability. The intonation has been so good I have never had it professionally set up. The 2 truss rods should give you plenty of room for string height and playability adjustments. I believe it is 17mm string spacing. Bass is in 9/10 condition.

Full disclosure the fiancé knocked it over in the midst of a tv remote finding scramble(she threw a couch cushion behind her back unerringly at the bass in it's stand). The laminate headstock piece that has the b string tuning peg broke cleanly off! I hired a local guitar tech to fix it. I have played it at least 30 hours since the fix and the B string tension is awesome! Got a new b string on it now, Ken smith string with a taper, great tension! I took lessons with a local bass wizard Jay Hicks who has the same bass and had the exact same problem, he knocked his over on stage and had the same break and repair work.

I'm asking 750$

I live in Bakersfield California and am willing to drive 2 hours any direction for a sale. Right now I would prefer not to ship at all, not comfortable shipping this bad boy!

I'm not the best photographer but I think you can see the line on the laminate where it was glued back.

Maybe open to shipping, I have never shipped a bass before and do not expect that I would want to do so cheaply either! Gunna be an additional 100$ for shipping to the states. Pm me and we can talk about it.

Speed bump!
