I have here a modified Alvarez brand, six string bass guitar.
34" Scale length
22 Frets
18mm spacing at the bridge
9 lbs.
Dual trussrods
Bolt on neck
Rosewood fretboard, maple neck with tung oil finish
No idea of what the body wood is, but it's an orange-ish color
Bartolini soapbar pickups (the 100G66J1 from bestbassgear, I believe)
Currently wired passive with a three-way pickup selection switch and a push/pull volume pot that controls series/parallel (pull up for series). Right now the bass is strung F# B E A D G (low to high), but I can change it to the standard B E A D G C if the buyer would like. Cosmetically, I'd give this bass an 7/10, because it has a few dings and there is a hole on the bottom side of the bass where a malfunctioning barrel jack once was (see photos). I upgraded the bridge to single-string bridges because the stock bridge was bent and did not adjust enough. The action is what I would call medium-low right now and there is a little fret buzz on the upper frets (hey, it IS a relatively cheap bass). Tonally, the bass has a deep, smooth sound. It sounds a bit like a sting ray when you pull the series/parallel switch.
If you'd like any pictures of specific parts or at different angles, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Pricewise, I'd like to get
$200 (that includes shipping in the CONUS) out of this bass, but I'm open to all offers. Some items that I might have interest in trade-wise:
A baritone guitar
Cheap guitar head
Basses/guitars worth more than this that are broken beyond your ability to repair and/or are missing parts, etc.
Six string (guitar, not bass) Kahler trem; preferably chrome. Wide string end hooks heavy springs would be a plus, but not necessary for a deal.
Seymour Duncan guitar pickups; I have a mental list of the ones I'm interested in, but I try to keep an open mind
I'm mostly looking for four string basses or parts, but if you have something else you want to offer, feel free to do so but keep in mind that I do not have any money to add to trades on my end.
I think that's it . . . yeah.
