I owned this bass for a while, and it has one of the best-feeling necks out there, it is very light weight, and it balances terrifically.

It really does, the finish on the back is baby butt smoove just like a USA Lakland. Nicely rolled edges too.

Bumpin' my own bad self

All matching anodized hardware + Dunlop Straplocks. New Ken Smith Slicks E-C, includes a set of Chromes B-G. I have a fretted Level 5 as well and these are the most comfortable 5 strings I've found as far as weight, minimized extension and balance. This 34" feels more like my old Kubicki's 32" as far as reach.

Stunning bass! Had a Level 6 in the same color....one of my biggest regrets was parting with that one.

I wish this were fretted.

I hear ya, I may or may not part with this one depending on what else is out there.
The finish on this one is excellent, on par with US Laklands. It has a very deep clear coat over the burst and it's unblemished.

PS- I would break my ebony/rosewood rule for the right maple necked fretless P bass.

Embly...
That is one nice bass!
Good luck....

emblymouse · #13 01-01-2012, 05:49 PM

Thankee sir! I still use Lakland as my quality yardstick, I wish I could get one of their 5's in 34" scale.
BTW- someone asked about the weight- 8 lbs. 12 oz.

Those inquiring about a cash price-$1200 obo.

I'm hanging on to this one folks, thanks!
