Up for sale/for trade is one of my 4 string Kintage basses I built a while back (model 435J). It has a Maple neck, Rosewood fretboard, and an ultra-light Paulownia body, which is lighter than Basswood. This bass comes with an EMG 35 + J pickup configuration and an EMG passive tone control and it gives it quite a unique sound. You can get anything from warm and full to fretless-style tones. It also has a one-off custom raw brushed aluminum pickguard and black hardware, including Dunlop straplocks. It has a new, hand cut bone nut and the frets have been leveled and polished. Sounds great and plays very well, with low action. I have been working on basses for 20+ years and do my own setups and fretwork. About two years ago I started building my own basses, some from parts that are finished by me, and others that I build including bodies made from scratch. The bass is new but comes with a used hardshell case.

Anyway, if you are interested, let me know. I would consider trades, or partial trades as well. Some things I am looking for right now: decent small scale bass combo amps, bass pickups and preamps, or newer laptops in great condition.
