$1575 shipped in Contenental USA or Canada ONLY THIS WEEKEND!!. This is too nice to sell for any less and I will just sell a Fender fretless and gig this baby.
It pains me to sell this beauty, but 12 basses is too many and I FINALLY realized after buying and selling 40+ different basses in the last few years.... I am really a Fender guy.
I am looking to sell this outright but will consider the right trade and +- cash at either end. I would look at fretless Fenders, Zons, Pedulla, Rob Allen or Alembic and possibly a fretted 2008+ MIA Fender Jazz.
On to the bass....
The original NEW sale listing can be found at

The beautifully crafted Benavente Vortex Fretless has a Flame Walnut top on a mahogany body. It also has Lane Poor soapbars (do a search to see how much these crazy rare pickups are worth alone!) with Benavente preamp. Pictured hardshell case is included as are a set of dunlop straplocks, nearly new D'Addario rounds (that came with it) and basically new DR flats (that are on it now).
This bass sounds and plays killer. The workmanship is amazing and the neck has that flat profile that so many bassists dig. It it in amazing shape. A solid 9.5/10. VERY light wear (shiny)where one would place their thumb by the PU. Almost impossible to see. No other issues. The neck is straight as an arrow and the action can be as low as you want.
Thanks for looking!
Note: the first pic is not the best representation of the real colour of this bass. Pics 2 and 3 are more like what the bass actually looks like.
