FS Birdsong Guitars Embrace Lined Fretless 8th Anniversary Bass 32" Scale

SOLD This morning, Thanks for all of the interest


Thought I'd try playing Fretless but it isn't for me

So, for sale, sorry no trades at this time, is bassically a New Birdsong Guitars Embrace 8th Anniversary Lined Fretless 32" Scale Bass Number 2 of 8

Price Reduced To $1000.00 From 1100.00.00 shipping/insurance included to the 48 Continental US

PayPal is fine, local pickup/meet I will deduct $40.00

Cost was $1400 ($1125 Bass $150.00 Lined Option $125.00 Case)

I received it about three weeks ago and have only played it a couple of times in my home

This bass is in the same exact condition as I received from Birdsong with no issues cosmetically or electronically

One note, picture shows a "line" on the back running through the low E string route

I don't know if this is a crack or just part of the wood but when I run my finger across it I don't feel anything

So, it was there before the hand rubbed finish was applied

But again, this is how I received it and I just wanted to be up front about it

Specs:

Maple Neckthrough with Wild Texas Mesquite Wings

5/8" Thick Ebony Fretboard with Lines and side dots

32" Scale

1.5" @ Nut

Ebony Bridge, Nut and Control Plate

Volume and Jack (no Tone control)

Lightweight Tuners

Daddario "Chromes" Flat Strings

5.9lbs on my digital bathroom scale

Hardshell Case and Paperwork from Birdsong are INCLUDED


PM or better yet email me at timmyfbass@gmail.com

They're between the lines. The boards on these are simply amazing. Scott and the gang at Birdsong are true artists. The Turquoise inlays in the Mesquite are exquisite.

"where is local"

Oops, I guess that would help, sorry

I live in Gainesville VA

Thank you jbossolo, yes the side dots are between the fret lines just like on a fretted bass.

Also, thank you to everyone else's comments and intrest.

Great deal here. That's a special, low-numbered 8th anniversary edition for the price of a regular, run of the mill one. You get a sweet, handmade fretless gem of a bass that weights around 5 lbs, and can be played all day long! And the sound! If I didn't have one already I'd be all over this! GLWS.
