FERNANDES GRAVITY 5 DELUXE -$799 (w/o Audere)
Rob Trujillo from Metallica's signature bass, neckthru, black, EMG pickups, black BadAssV bridge. This bass currently has an Audere Classic 4 band preamp installed and is set up for sub-contra (does F# better than a Warwick Dark Lord) with brand new Warwick Black Label Stainless Steel strings, but can easily be taken back to BEADG as the nut is in perfect shape and the BadAss V bridge has 2 separate holes for each string so only 1 of the holes on low string was widened for the .175 and does not affect the hole that is usually used for the low-B string. Since it's all black, you can't really tell anything from the picture, but it looks to be in mint condition and with the Warwick strings and Audere preamp will blow a brand new G5D out of the water and honestly compares to some serious boutique basses. I may decide to keep it and switch to some Villex custom pickups as the EMG tone is really not what I'm looking for. I'm willing to part this bass out as well, so if you are interested in the BadAss V bridge or the EMG pickups let me know.

AUDERE CLASSIC 4 BAND PREAMP WITH BLACK KNOBS - $159.
This is currently installed in the Fernandes and really makes it sound even more awesome. It will make any bass sound like a high-end boutique bass.

GGG BOARD BIG MUFF DISTORTION PEDAL - $59

DIGITECH BASS SYNTH WAH - $39

BASSON B410B - $549 (pickup or delivery in NY area only)
1000W at 8 ohms cabinet rated down to 28Hz. Blows away 410s that cost 2-3 times as much, and even blows away a lot of high-end 810s

MIDNIGHT BLUE (DISCONTINUED COLOR) MIM FENDER JAZZ BASS BODY WITH WHITE PICKGUARD - $99
