About to purchase a new jazz bass so I must let one go. Don't know much about this bass, as its the back up to my. Fender Marcus Miller. The body is alder I believe with a maple neck bound and blocked. The brand is Cimar and I don't have much more info about it. I will take additional pics, please note the fender is not for sale. PRICE $175+ SHIPPING

Cimar was to Ibanez as Epiphone was to Gibson, at least I am pretty sure of it.

that thing has got some mojo, looks nice.
ive seena few of these, never had a chance to play them.
the neck looks a little thick, closer to a p or a j?

Here is a rough sound clip plugged directly into the computer. Its a rough track but it gets the point across, I dont slap but tried to briefly to show the slap tone.
