Campellone 5-string for Trade / very very lightweight

drgroove111 · #1 06-15-2011, 07:11 AM

I am looking for a comparably valued, high end, great sounding 5 or 6 string bolt on (or a neck thru with 18" or more string spacing.). I prefer 34" scale basses

Sadowsky, Ken Smith, etc, etc, what have you got for trade consideration?

For trade is my custom Campellone Bass. It is one of only 102 made and will be a collectors item for sure. Also plays awesome. I am attaching the CG listing and a few pics for anyone interested. Any questions, Please ask away. Please read description in CG ad 1st. It lists a good description of the bass.

Link doesn't work for me -- looks like maybe a link to edit/manage the ad (i.e. the owner would have to be logged in to see it). Not sure.

For sure Scott! Mark is an amazing luthier! Look at him now, he has more orders than he can handle from players worldwide building sweet custom arch-top guitars that are selling for 5-10 k each!!!

His basses are certainly prized by a small niche that knows his work. Only 102 ever built. Mine is #96.

Soon it will belong to a very lucky person.

Peace

I had an opportunity to spend some time with this instrument earlier this week. It really is an amazing piece! The quality of this bass is right up there with the very best of the boutiques. It plays like the proverbial "buttah." And the weight-wow!

If I weren't content with my current stable, I would buy this in a heartbeat! For anyone on the fence, I'd say do not hesitate!
