FS: CB - Cliff Bordwell D-Bass 4 String

Sign in to disble this ad
For Sale: Cliff Bordwell 4-String "D – Bass". The construction and craftsmanship on this bass is simply incredible! The bass is in excellent condition. The only really noticable cosmetic flaw to be found on this bass is where the prior owner had the strap button on the upper horn relocated to improve balance. According the previous owner, the task of relocating the strap button and filling the original strap button hole was professionally performed by Carey Nordstrand of Nordstrand Guitars. The work is superb, although there is some obvious discoloration where the wood filler within the original hole does not quite match the surrounding wood. Complete specs on this bass including physical dimensions, construction, hardware and electronics can be found below:

Dimensions :

Scale length: 34 inches
Neck shape: Jazz
Width at nut: 1.5
Width at 24th position: 2.625
String spacing at Bridge: .787
Overall length: 41 inches
Widest: 13.5 inches
Weight: 7.5lbs.

Construction :

Neck: 3-piece Maple(flamed)
Fingerboard: Pau Ferro
Headstock plate: Mesquite burl
Nut: Bone
Body: Mesquite “Burl” top / Ash body

Hardware :

Bridge: Hipshot "A"
Tuners: Hipshot Ultralites
Truss rod: Two-way adjustable
Positions : 24 w/ zero fret
Strap locks: Dunlop
Output: 1/4" Face

Electronics :

Pickups: Nordstrand dual coils
Preamp: Aguilar 3-band with passive tone.
Controls: Volume(p/p), volume, passive tone, Treble, Mids, Bass.

Bass includes a semi-hard shell case made by Dean. I’m selling for $1850.00 which includes shipping via standard Fed-Ex Ground within the USA. I’ve quit playing bass due to health reasons so I’m not interested in any trades at this time. Payment is to be in the form of PayPal, USPS Postal Money Orders or Cash if doing a local pickup. Please PM me with any questions or for more info.

I can attest to the awesomeness of this bass! Extremely fast neck, amazing feel, great tone. I know I bump every CB bass thread on this forum, but this one stands apart from the other CB's I've tried. Rmichael is also an outstanding seller to do business with--quick response time, knowledgeable and an all-around nice guy!

I'm the original owner of this bass. I also had the neck re-shaped by Carey, as it was a little chunky. Now, the neck is incredible. Killer sound, and a steal at this price. I wouldn't say the hole filling of the strap button was "professionally performed"...we just wiped some putty in there, let it dry, and sanded it with 600 grit. It came out great though. You woudn't really notice it if you weren't looking. Last time I saw it, it was mint. GREAT bass here folks...someone snatch this up quick! The top is INSANE in person.

I'm a sucker for a light bass, and since the neck has been reshaped (always thought Cliff's neck were a little chunckY) I'll take it. SOLD
