String spacing?

ilustre · #4 03-06-2013, 10:55 PM

The string spacing is 18mm but the bridge its adjustable!

I don't even know how you could possibly part with this-
would you take a trade?

I know if I get the funds I need in a few days this will stay home, this is the best bass I ever owned thats why I am selling it because I can get the most money for this beauty than the other ones I have!

Bump. Trades? (Gibson & Fender guitars, couple of basses posted here on TB, Sonor drums, Canon lenses?) Otherwise free bump for a beauty.

Vintage Vortexes are my all time favorite. Yours is a real beaut.

My 4-banger has a blue quilt top & my 5-string a trans tobacco top. Love-em.

Someone's going to get a super bass. GLWTS.

I'm usually not one for coffee table basses but that is simply stunning. I hope you don't have to go through with the sale.
