Fbass "Superbass" Leukemia Sale

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi Guys. Although it breaks my heart to do this, I must put up for sale my dream bass, because I was just diagnosed with aggressive Leukemia and we are going to need the money for medical bills.

I bought this bass from Donovan at Fretspot.com last spring. I had it custom made, every thing I ever wanted in a bass.

It is a BN-6 painted blue, which I call "Superman Blue".
It has Black hardware, a Hipshot bridge, a Birdseye Maple fretboard, Inset straplocks, a thumb rest, and a Mother of pearl serial number plate on the back of the head stock.

It is in great shape, just one tiny barely noticeable tick on the front that I didn't even notice until I was looking at it to list it.

This bass plays unbelievable, looks incredible and I would never get rid of it if I were not sitting in my hospital room right now writing this. This truly breaks my heart, this bass is not only the best playing and sounding bass I have ever had, but looks like a piece of art. George definitely outdid himself when he built this bass.

Here is a link to Donovan showing the bass off when it was new:

(Used by permission)

I paid around 3,800 new, since I need to get rid of it, lets start at $1000 less so 2,800, shipped. Comes with the Fbass Bag and I will throw in a fbass strap with the locks and a set of Fbass Strings.

I might be down for a day or 2, starting Chemo tomorrow, so you can contact me through here if interested or chrisloe622@gmail.com

Thanks, Chris.

A big +1 on this. I hope it sells soon. I'd be pushing my luck right now to take it.

Wow Chris. I honestly don't know the proper words to extend to you . . . just know that you, and your entire family, will be in my prayers.

Wish I had the ability to handle a sixer, not to mention the extra cash. I'd surly help you out if I could.

If there's anything at all I could do for you up here in Fargo please don't hesitate to ask.

My wife has CML. It is a bitch, I can only begin what you are going through. Stong minds get you through your times of suffering.
