For sale is my newly acquired Ball Bass. I bought it hoping for improved ergonomics with the 32" scale, and I got it, but it turns out my shoulder still prefers my lighter bass with the longer neck. I thought 7 1/2 ponds would be light enough. It is not. My 34" Bordwell is 6.5 pounds. That last pound makes all the difference to me unfortunately. It is a very comfortable neck, but this is a preference of course. I wish I could carve a pound out of it, then it would be a keeper for sure. It really sucks to have a shoulder problem when bass shopping. This is the third bass that I fell in love with that I can't keep because of weight. (The other two were Pedulla and Brubaker). Those necks fit my hand like they were carved for me.
Plays Great, sounds Great.

Includes a well fitting TKL hard case, a little frayed around the edges but so am I and that is what cases are for anyway.
