This bass is amazing!
Body is Mahogany core with Bloodwood and Wenge laminations. 13 piece neck with Wenge,
Mahogany, Bloodwood and Purple Heart laminations, rosewood fingerboard. EMG soapbars
with high-end passive circuit (Vol-Vol-Tone-Tone). 34" scale with a superb low B, string spacing is 18mm.
This is one of the later Acacia's with 24" radius fretboard planed and slotted in-house by Friedman.
Major setup work recently performed as well as brand new La Bella Super Steps strings.
The bass weighs just 10 lb. thanks to the very thin carved body.
I need vintage tone for my gig... So trades for a great vintage P Bass or Sting Ray considered.
Also would consider a high end 5 string fretted. $1800 shipped CON US or trade for/toward 70's P Bass or Sting Ray
Thanks for looking!

I'd say it is adjustable for spacing between 14mm and 18mm  |
