Previous Owner barely played it and handled it with gloves. Shortly after I got it, I received my Conklin Sig and I've barely played it. Now that I'm playing 11s, it's getting no action.

This bass is in absolute pristine/new condition. Never gigged, never sweated on. The strings on it are the same that it came with and they are still bright and zingy. Not a scratch or mark anywhere. Not sure on the weight, but it's incredibly lighter than 2 of my conklin 9s and is only slightly heavier than my retro 9. I think it's around 11-12 lbs.

A bass like this from Conklin would take 1-2 years to make and it would cost close to $6000.

Private message me if you have any questions (don't email). Please don't ask about any of my other basses for sale (Joust, Pac, H. Claw etc. - not gonna happen!)

If you want to learn how to rip open the depths of hell with a low C#, then yes. Perfect.


Goregous Bass, Jean. I'll spread the word.

my only question is where does one buy a pack of 9 strings for bass guitar? I always wondered that about basses with 7 or more strings..

juststrings.com sells individual strings. I imagine you'd just come up with your ideal gauges and buy a six string pack and add whatever individuals you need.

Conklin supplies strings for up to 11-stringed basses....

I guess this doesn't need it right now, but bump for a beautiful bass anyway!

i'm off to rob a bank, cya later.

That is a beautifull bass but I would hate to change lanes on that neck during rush hour.

[chucko58]

I gather (from looking at the photo URLs) that this used to be Edo's bass? How is it strung?

[Jean Baudin]

the tuning on this one is: low F#, B, E, A, D, G, C, F, Bb

[chucko58]

Jeez, someone needs to buy this sweet axe. I've already had my GAS attack for the year (Benavente 7), so I'm out.

Jean, if it helps, I put a link to this thread on a couple other forums I frequent.

[nick g.]

Hmm. 2 or 3 less strings, and I'd be all over it. That is, if I had the money.

[Marson]

Um whats the tuning for that sexy beast?

[UtBDan]

uh, Marson. He already answered that.

I've read that three times already, hearing it as if christopher walken is saying it and placing the accent on different words...this is your brain on avatars.

[Jean Baudin]

Sold.

Thanks for the interest!
