Benavnete Vortex 5
35" scale
maple/maple neck
Alder body
Spalted Maple top
Norstrand Big Singles
Nordstrand 3 band preamp
Controls are Master Vol/Blend/Tone EQ:treble/mid/bass (all cut/boost) Switches: Active/passive Mid freq select(40-100) Mute http://s670.photobucket.com/albums/v...te%20Vortex-5/
This bass sounds completely different than the stock Benavente Dimarzio Ultra Jazz/Suhr setup. Much warmer and punchier and the fingerstyle tone is sweet. New pickups/routing and preamp custom done by Carey Nordstrand.
Sound Samples HERE: www.myspace.com/johnrodgersbass
The body was stripped and refinished with clear satin laquer so its like new. The playability is superb , very fast feel, low action ,a soft C shaped neck, fresh Fodera SS .40's as well. This is a lot of bass for the $$.
$1500 SHIPPED
