Well the short-sale home deal fell through so im back in this housing market looking for a new home. Not sure what i'm gonna need to get into the next home so I rather be safe than sorry. For those who have seen my bass collection you know I have wanted a Pavel for awhile. Well now that I have one, finances are forcing a sale. I will consider a trade + cash or outright sale of $3500. Since I have a Kudela custom that does the MTD thing quite well, a Ken Smith would be at the top of my list for trades. For those who are familiar with these basses, you know it costs $5000 new and was at NAAM this year as seen by the pic below. The bass plays great and has a neck profile thinner than an MTD. I am looking at a Foreclosure and if that deal goes through, I will pull this bass which is why the ad is a feeler. Here are some of the specs
Custom Asymmetric Single Cutaway body design.
3 Piece body. Book-matched 5A top w/accent veneer over body wood.
35" scale three piece maple neck
18mm string spacing
Weight 8.5lbs
24 + 0 small high-mass frets with shell side dot inlays
Hipshot Ultralight “Y” Key Tuners
Deep “Set-Neck” design with ergonomically contoured asymmetric heel.
High mass Brass Hipshot bridge.
Pavel Signature soapbar pickups in “Flamed Ebony” shells
18 volt Bartolini 3 band eq
Removable ramp
8.5 lbs doesn't sound bad at all, though. Good luck with the sale (or the home purchase).
