F.S./T. Rare Black Kawai FIIB, Poor Man's Alembic.

SOLD

Up for sale or trade is my nice Kawai FIIB in a rare black finish.
This is an early model, with the bigger, beefier, and more desirable bridge and 3-way rotary pickup selector. Excellent condition, no dings or scratches, low action and sounds incredible.
From the website:

• FIIB - Neck-though bass with active electronics. The through-neck is 5 pc. laminated Maple and Mahogany with a 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. The bodies were 3 pc. laminated Maple/Maple, Mahogany/Maple, Maple/Koa and Maple/Zebra. There were also a small number of FIIB basses that came in Black, Pearl White and Candy Apple Red. In the early 1990's, FIIB basses became the FIIB110KS and were available only with a Maple/Koa body although other finishes were available in Japan. Other changes included the elimination of the heavy brass bridge in favor of a Schaller 3-D4 bridge with the strings attaching at the end of the bridge rather than coming through the body as before. The electronics remained the same on all FIIB basses. The pickups are a Kawai design P-Bass type with built-in pre-amps and require a 9 volt battery for each. The pre-amps control the "tone character" switches for each pickup. In the center position the bass is essentially "flat." The other two switch positions provide combinations of cut and boost at various frequencies. The amount of cut and boost and the frequencies are set by the factory and can not be changed as the pickup is sealed. The tone controls are passive. Most FIIB basses have a traditional 3-way toggle pickup selector although, some early 1985 and 1986 FIIBs used a 3-way rotary pickup selector.

$800 shipped in a nice hard case or best reasonable offer. I'm only selling it because I need the low B. I will consider trades for 5 or 6 string basses of the same caliber. The bass comes in a nice case and I just installed a set of DR Low Riders.
Feel free to ask any questions and thanks for looking.

Not heavy at all!
