I recently picked up this cool and funky bass from Fred (Quadzilla) and as much as I have tried, I'm just not feeling the "love". Guess I'm just not a "relic" kind of guy after all.

Here is what Fred had to say about it in his thread and it's all true:

Dark Horse relic body (thanks Dark!)
80's USA Made Chandler P neck (seen in last photo)
SD Antiquity II pickup (recent upgrade, not pictured)

Our very own TBer Dark Horse did the body and body hardware. I upgraded the pickup to a Duncan Antiquity II 60's (expensive) which is also reliced.
Neck is a custom, made in USA Chander from the 80's. Very, VERY high quality P neck (wearing a Fender logo). Action is very low and she's very light. Real Schaller tuners (same as the old school Fender tuners from the 70's except these say "Schaller" instead of "Fender"). Bass is truly amazing. It had a Squier neck on it that was OK at best, but the Chandler neck is simply awesome. I put the Chandler on after I got it. The first several pictures show the Squier neck, but the last shot is the Chandler neck. There is a 70's era Fender logo on the front of the headstock (placed correctly). On the back of the headstock there is a Chander logo (that also says San Francisco, USA). I'm going to blow this out for a quick, quick sale at $525!

8ish lbs, low low action, KILLS!!!! Total gigging machine!

Neck is a B width, medium depth. Fretboard radius is slightly more flat than a standard P neck (makes slapping a bit easier). Smooth, satin finish. A very, very nice neck. It had a Squier neck on it that was OK at best, but the Chandler neck is simply awesome. I put the Chandler on after I got it. The first several pictures show the Squier neck, but the last shot is the Chandler neck. There is a 70's era Fender logo on the front of the headstock (placed correctly and finished). On the back of the headstock there is the original Chandler logo (and also says San Francisco, USA).

AS for the finish, yes, it's nitro. Dark Horse does some killer work!

Asking only what I paid for it which was $525.00 shipped!

Will include a fully functional gig bag for protection in transit!
