FS: CB (Cliff Bordwell Instruments) 'S' Bass - Almost new!!

FOR SALE ONLY, a dead mint CB 'S' Bass Custom 4- String, this beautiful and amazing instrument was completed a few months ago and has only a few hours playing time, IMO - this bass would pass for new!! Unfortunately I need to release some of my instruments, and this one is on the block as of now.

This is a wonderful opportunity to own a CB Bass Custom without the wait and at much less money!!

BTW - Cliff shared with me that not only is this his favorite wood combination, but this was his MOST resonate bass to date!! I have to say, I'm disappointed that I need to sell this

Sexy...

[Mr. Majestic]

I think I supplied the ash for this bass, I wish it were mine.

[portraitoftracy]

I simply want this bass because it is 6.5 pounds Luckily it doesn't have a maple fingerboard.

[was3funk]

Yea, it's really an amazing blend of ash, ebony, redwood and pau ferro. Lightweight, resonant and perfectly balanced. I wish circumstances were different and I could hold onto it.

[Ronen]

Beautiful bass!
What is the fingerboard radius?
Are you sure these are NJ4SV’s under the hood? the wood covers look pretty wide.

[nickbass79]

For anyone who is interested but hasn't played a CB. My opinion is that CB basses are the best I have played. Over all other basses I have owned, borrowed or played! Balance, sound, playability, construction are all second to NONE. This is a SWEET deal!!!

[was3funk]

I agree. I've owned/played pretty much most of the high end basses out there, and this bass is would definitely fit in that category.

Yes sir, Nordstrand NJSV's humbucking split-coil jazz bass pickups are in it. I'll find out the fingerboard radius, which I think is standard on CB basses.

[Rumblefisher]

Still not looking for trades?

Free bump.

[Justin Beck]

Beautiful bass! Sorry you have to sell it.

Also, I believe the standard radius on CB Basses is 16". Both of mine were.

Best,
Justin

[genstormbringer]

I would like to take it off your hands but I would need to unload a few basses first.

[Gibenbackerbass]

Very nice.

[LowWay]

Sound Clips?

[was3funk]

sorry no sound clips at this time, I'll look to do that in the future.

[was3funk]

FYI - I'm not looking for trades on this deal, I wouldn't be selling this bass if I didn't want the money.

[LowWay]

This bass is haunting me. How is the setup right now? Plays like buttah, as they say?

Fast low action with no buzzing?

[was3funk]

Did you play this bass already? LOL - Exactly low action, no buzzing, plays evenly across the range and as slick as butter.

[climb]

amazing instrument--bump for a beautiful bass!

[LowWay]

I've got an offer in and an appointment to see it in person. I only hope this is soon mine!

Free bump in case my deal doesn't happen (but a warning to all of you to back off in the mean time! j/k)
