Bought this from Dan last week, and I have to say that she is even prettier in person and sounds absolutely amazing. Looks great and feels great but is a bit heavy for my liking. So that being said, I am looking for a trade ie. Fender, Lakland (skyline), G&L or even something thrown together. A nice hollowbody won't be ruled out either. Can possibly add a little cash for the right deal if needed. As for a sale price $675 shipped in a gig bag. Here are some details about the bass from Dans website and also the pics are from his website as well as I would never be able to top the pics:
"This stunning bass has a body made from solid Padauk, an exotic wood with a gorgeous red-brown color that really must be seen in person to fully appreciate. Body finish is thin satin nitro lacquer. The neck is made from maple and the fretboard is maple. Neck finish is vintage amber nitro.
I originally built this beauty for myself, but after I posted its pic on the homepage I was flooded with emails asking about its availability. I finally gave in!
This instrument is a blast to play. The tone from the Padauk is very similar to Walnut, but slightly more warm. And with the vintage-voice SPB1 pickup from Seymour Duncan, you'll get loads of thumpy bass with the classic "P" grind.
Padauk is a heavier wood, and the overall weight of this instrument is in line with 1970's basses from Fender. However, this bass sports a thinner neck and Hipshot Ultralite tuners, which means there is no neck dive. It balances very comfortably on the lap or when wearing a strap.
Both the body and neck were made by the experts at USA Custom Guitars. The neck plays super fast, the rolled fret edges are easy on the hands, and the graphite reinforcement keeps it ultra stable. It's a "J" width neck (1.5" at the nut), which most players find more comfortable."
