FS: 6 string Cliff Bordwell bass

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello,
I want to try and pay off my car, so I can buy a new Porsche! So, with that said, this bass needs to sale. I have put it up for sale once before, and changed my mind... so act fast! It is one awesome looking bass, and pictures do NOT do it justice!!! I am the original owner. The action on this bass is the best of all four of my CB basses! It is also the best sounding fretless I have ever heard!

Price is $1,100 plus shipping!

-6 string Ball bass
-Mac Ebony top
-Walnut Core
-Bloodwood back
-Maple and Wenge neck
-Bloodwood fretboard bound by Ebony
-Aguilar 3 band with Nordstrand SC

The bass is in mint condition! Not a ding or scratch on the bass!!! The only bad thing is, the trust rod sockets were too shallow, and the B string side trust rod socket is stripped. The C string side trust rod is still okay, but I wouldn't trust it for long. I will include the replacement trust rods from Cliff, that I believe FBasses made for him. I have aslo talked to two different people to get them replaced, and it looks like it is going to run about $300 dollars. Also, the action on this bass does NOT need adjusting! You could easily keep the bass the way it is, and just do very minor tweaks of the bridge instead of counting on the trust rods.









Not looking for trades.
The bass was signed by Victor Wooten on the back of the headstock. I even got a picture of him playing it.

INSANE deal. If it were fretted and had narrower spacing, I would've bought it yesterday.

Predicting this will be sold in 3...2...1..

I am only letting these two basses go because I am only playing my two BIG McNeely model CB's anymore. These two are still killer basses though!
