FS/FT: RARE Laurus Shortscale 4 - Amazing!!

FS/FT Italian Laurus 4 bass. Only 20 of this model built. From the 1980's. In spite of it's "space age" look it's very ergonomic - plays beautifully on your lap or standing - stands on it's own against the wall or amp.

Super comfortable to play, great tone(s) from huge woof to sizzling highs and everything in between.

Weight: 8.5#
Controls: volume, volume, treble/bass stack, master bass, master treble, Audere Z 3 band preamp - treble boost, bass boost or normal. The tone sculpting possibilities are endless.

This is the most amazing short scale instrument you'll ever see. Great playability, great sounds and great asthetics.
For Sale: $1500
For Trade: Quality 4 or 5 - Sadowsky, Nordy, Lull, Warrior, MTD, Lakland etc.

Checked out some Matt Garrison vids. Came across one of him playing with Federico Malaman (nice jam on Cantaloupe Island), who was playing a strange looking bass. Did a search and came up with the name "Laurus." Searched that here and found this. Don't know if it's still available, but a bump anyway for a WILD looking bass! Crazy! 30" scale seems really short, but I can't get over the body on that thing.

Price reduction/ trade possibilities increase

This bass is awesome and needs a home so I'll reduce the price to $1099 or trade for a 5er, 6er or micro amp.

MORE pictures available - I have a whole gallery of pictures that shows every aspect of this instrument - send me your email address and I'll forward them to you

It is hard to believe that this instrument is still here, but then you have not bumped the thread in months....
Wish I could take this from your hands. Best of luck with the sale.

Is the finish on this bass towards the Alembic or the Wishbass side of things? Where did you get strings?
