This is one of those "oh crap, I waaay overspent my budget this past Christmas" sales. Therefore, I'm not really interested in trades at the moment, I just need cash.
I assembled this one about 2 years ago and have used it quite a bit and love the sound and feel.
It's a Fender Japan body + electronics, reinforced Warmoth neck w/ curly maple headstock and the pickup is a Lindy Fralin 2% overwound so that it has balls like no other bass. I'm not sure what make the bridge is, but it's a higher-mass fender type.
Soundwise - Play with your fingers and the tone rolled off and you have a warm, thick low end that's very smooth. You can get a motown groove, or a dark rock-bottom low end.
Dial up the tone knob, use a pick and it snarls like a caged tiger. What's nice is that it doesn't really lose the low end in the process either - you get a snarling attack but it still has enough low end that if you pick lighter, it suddenly smooths out - very very nice. I LOVE fralin pups.
The pics don't really do it justice - the finish is much warmer in person. The condition is great - a few surface scratches here and there that give it character but absolutely nothing major.
I can do $600 with gig bag or $630 with HS case. We can split shipping whatever that may come out to. Local pick up also welcome.
