SOLD!
This is a sweet custom Benavente Vintage Vortex 5-String - Lake Placid Blue Finish, 35" Scale, Dimarzio Ultra-Jazz pups & Benavente Preamp (with active/passive push-pull). I absolutely LOVE the sound of this thing, but I'm picky and the 35" scale doesn't work for me. The neck is very Jazz-like (i.e. thin and super fast) and the action is very low. The Dimarzio UJ's are one of my absolute favs and they don't disappoint in this bass - very quiet with tons of punch.
The bass is in like new/mint condition - the only things I could find were a thin finish crack/chip by the neck joint (on the treble side) and a scuff at the very end of the headstock. Let me know if you need pics of these.
