Yes $875.00, I need $ by Black Friday, otherwise I would have marked it at $1300.00.
If Your unfamiliar With Tim Salsas' work
it's top notch, Great playing and sounding basses.
The only negative I ever heard were that his basses were a little TOO "inspired" by other luthiers

Bart's
Neck Through
18 volt Aguilar Pre
Coolest bridge I've ever seen
Gotoh pegs
9-1/3 on the bathroom scale
35" scale
soft Asymmetrical neck profile
Little bit of Buckle rash ( could easily sand out) doesn't really show in photos , but I want full discloser maybe a 8.8 out of 10

Will consider trades w/$500+ on buyers end

I haven't had a chance to play this particular Salas bass. But I have played a few and each time I was impressed with the sound and quality. If This luthier was more known in the bass community and more players were playing his basses and talking about the overall quality and how they sound live and in the mix these basses would be fetching a whole lot more.

Just one of those classic situations where the quality exceeds the brand name.

Cash and trade deal made with Danny R, the Salas has been sold.
