Sign in to disble this ad
Minty Minty Minty EBMM Sterling 5 that I had custom built about a year or so ago. I ordered 2 of these, one of these go on the road with me and this one sits in the studio but I realized all I have are 3 EBMM. These Family Reserves are going for 2600 dollar range on bass central I paid 2800 for this when I ordered it, the pickups are a sterling ceramic in the bridge and an alnico in the neck with a 5 position selector, it can make some really cool sounds. It has a natural all rosewood neck and fingerboard, the neck doesn't have a finish on it which is cool the more you play it the faster and smoother it gets. As for the finish it is a sparkly gold, its really pretty, our guitar player has a goldtop LP and this finish puts his to SHAME!!!! For trade only!!!! Will trade for a 4 or 5 string Vallenti, Fender Custom Shop, Sad. Metro, Elrick, R Bass, LEJ, MTD, Warrior, a Fodera NYC, US Lakland JO, Just hit me up if you have any trade bait, really want to test the waters with something else. If you have any questions hit me up. Absolutely nothing international.     http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_0194.jpg http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_0192.jpg http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_0182.jpg http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_0177.jpg

No big deal, you want what you want, nothing wrong with that. Good luck with this one. Can't imaging it hanging around for too long.
