FS FEELER Daion POWER Mark XX-B OHSC 9pc asymmetrical NT

I've had this bass a few years and haven't played it much, since I put new strings on it a few days ago I've been giving it some time but I'd rather have the cash and space. It appears to be all stock except the one knob. Plays well with nice low action. Some interesting features: 9 piece asymmetrical neck, 3 piece body stacked very uniquely, control plate looks like it was actually cut out of the piece of wood. This is a feeler for a couple reasons:

A) Weird headstock curvature(?)
B) Not sure about the price

The headstock curves some to the treble side but it's kind of odd since the nut is compensated accordingly and appears to be stock. I don't know if this is normal for the model or if it left the factory corrected like this or what. It doesn't have any playing problems and the only possible clue might be an uneven line I see on the bass side from one of the laminates. I've tried to photo all this, I can photo more also.

The electronics appear all stock except that I had to add a wire to each tone knob to make it function correctly.

The next to last fret is slightly mangled looking...forgot to take a pic. Also there is a very tiny bit of movement on some of the fret ends but it plays fine so I'm not inclined to mess with them.


That's about all I can think to say right now, I've seen these go for up to $2k and they are quite rare so I'm putting it at:

$1500




This didn't come out so well since apparently there was some ambient light falling around the area:

I think that the top strap button is original and the bottom is newer

I'm not sure what you are saying about the curvature. If you mean the very top curve that has binding that's correct from my memory 15+ years ago.
On mine the control cavity wasn't cut from the same piece of wood but the grain was matched well in sections.

I have the feeling it may be just the result of the asymmetrical neck that the headstock ends up with a curve. I don't know, I saw a vintage jazz that had a curved headstock for some reason once, that definitely was supposed to be straight, this probably wouldn't bother me if it wasn't for that.

What is the width of the neck at the nut and at the last fret?

Awesome bass, I had an ebony one back in the mid 80's and it was killer. I believe I purchased mine at Rudy's Custom Guitars in NYC. I remember it because it was my number one for many years.
