F/S David King D-Bass Custom

**Blackbird** · #1 05-01-2013, 05:44 PM

I have owned this bass for the past two years and while I love it, I always seem to go for my Fender style basses.

Here are the specs:

34" Scale
Bartolini Pickups and Electronics, Sperzel tuners
5 Piece Maple/Ebony/Purpleheart (?) neck.
Flamed Maple body with Matching headstock, an unusual feature for a DK bass.

Here are the pics:

When I received the bass, it seemed to have a hairline crack on the neck. I recall posting a thread about it here at the time. Since I live in CA, I contacted David King and sent the bass to him so he could look it over. He reinforced the area and it is very solid.

Includes Hardshell Case. Asking $2,300.00 Shipped. Add $50.00 for Canada.

Thanks.

Whoa! A David King is rare enough in the for sale section around here (first one I recall seeing), but a headstock to boot!? That's ridiculously scarce.

These are wonderful instruments.

Wonderful indeed. I have #15, a 5 string fretless and aside from sounding great, it's the most comfortable bass I've ever played. This is a steal.
