Details?
I bought this bass new from The Perfect Bass early this year with the intent to learn 5 string bass. After using it for a few times I decided to stick with 4 strings. The bass has been resting in my room since then, just haven't had time to play either instrument.
The bass is a stealth black which is a matte finish, honestly this is the best IMHO color to reduce the toilet bowl effect of the body. I was never a fan of Bongos until I heard them then saw the stealth black.
The bass does have three paint chips and a very shallow dent on the neck. I'm not sure how these got here but I do know the paint is extremely fragile so be aware this will not hold up well to a professional musician, or if you like relic gear this will be great!
The dent is near the 6th fret, it's very shallow and can't only feel if I run my finger tips over it. I have taken pictures of the chips and should not affect any playability at all.
I really like this bass, it's slightly heavy but well balanced. The eq allows a wide variety of tones and has a 18v active system for nice power. I haven't played many basses but the quality of this bass is impressive, I like it.
The downsides I can think of is that the body looks like a toilet bowl, especially if you change the pick guard. Also the bass doesn't fit well if you play sitting down. I play at my desk and it wasn't as easy to hold as a Pbass.

$1,000 including shipping to lower 48 states
Payment?
Prefer Pay-Pal or cash if local, also money order but will need to have it clear before shipping. It sucks but there's so many fake money orders flying around.
Questions?
I prefer communication via PM just incase there are multiple buyers/traders.
Trades?
I'm hoping to sell it but if you have a clean Fender American Standard Precision bass 4 string, or a Stingray in 4 string that would be seriously considered.
Pics?

Thanks!
