FS/FT: Conklin CGT-5 for sale or trade for 4-String Fender MIA P-Bass

[cm3ohana]

I have this awesome and excellent condition Conklin Groove Tools 5-string bass available. I bought two different 5-string basses trying to decide which would be most suitable for the worship band that I play in. In the end, I'm keeping the MTD so the Conklin is up for sale.

$550 OBO including shipping. SOLD

P.S. - In the 2nd pic, it looks like a deep scratch on the black plating but it's actually the protective plastic that hasn't been removed that's peeling. I kept it on by you can peel it off to reveal the new black finish underneath if you like. I figured it's in the back so I just left it alone.

Bass Specs:
- Swamp Ash Body with Figured Maple Top
- 34" Purpleheart and Wenge neck
- 24 Fret Purpleheart Fingerboard
- Bartolini MK1 pickups
- Master Volume, Pickup Blend and 3-Band EQ
- "Slap" Switch that cuts the mids and boosts the bass and treble response for a wonderful slap and pop tone
- Two trim pots on the back control cavity cover which allow quick adjustments to the instruments overall output (gain) and the amount of slap effect from the "slap switch"

Here's some pics of the bass:

If its for sale, you need a price. I may be interested. Thanks

I've been struggling to offer a price since this particular Conklin model doesn't come up for sale very often on TB or EBay. Over the past 18 months, I've only seen one used one for sale at $550. New, they are going for just over $900. So, I would say $550 OBO.

I've gotten a couple of questions concerning the pickups so I posted some information to help with the details.

It's Christmas time and it's become obvious that I need the money more than another bass. So, this is up for sale only....no trades. Thanks for the trade offers.
