CB Basses (Cliff Bordwell) 5-String - Pau Ferro/Maple/Wenge, Delano PUPs - TRADED

TRADED!

REVISED - Cool Trades or Sell for $1100 shipped[/b]

I picked this CB Bass up from a fellow TB'er a little while ago and LOVE the way it sounds but I can't get my pygmy hands used to the 35" scale with 19mm spacing! If you've got Les Claypool length fingers or just prefer Fender 4 spacing, this one is for you. Absolutely beautiful construction...I dare anyone to find a better luthier than Cliff. I would love to just hang this on the wall so I can stare at it, but it would be such a waste of an amazing instrument.

This is a CB "Performance" series with bolt-on neck...check out the unique neck joint in the pic below. The Delano pups are rare in the US and PASSIVE to boot. Killer tones and very versatile. Interesting use of a Pau Ferro top, with a nice grain on the headstock veneer. Bass is in excellent condition with just a a few TINY nicks around the body edges and one pinhead size neck on the back edge of the headstock. If you need pics, I'll try, but they're miniscule.

Ideally, I'd like to trade for another 5'er, 34" scale is A MUST and 17mm - 18mm bridge spacing is preferred. I love graphite neck instruments (Modulus, Zon, Status, etc) but a Pedulla Thunderbolt with 17.5mm spacing would be cool too. I'm not sure if Cliff is even making bolt-ons anymore... Comes with a nice Gator "Guitar Slinger" padded gig bag.

Sell for $1100 shipped with US insured Ground shipping included. AK & HI extra, international is fine (PM me for a ship quote). PayPal is preferred and I cover fees.
