FS/FT Warmoth G-5 Black/Maple

[Syco_bass]

Hi folks, up for sale is a really nice black/maple G-5 by Warmoth. Here are the specs:

Neck: 1 3/4" at the nut
34" scale
Standard contour radius
Black block in-lays.
American Hipshot tuners
Graphtec nut

Body: Alder
black lacquer finish
rear route
Nordstrand MM5-2 pickup
Takiuchi string through body bridge (17.5mm string spacing)
Black Dunlap strap locks
Black control knobs

Passive electronics are USA CTS pots, Series/Parallel switch with "chicklet style" .033uf tone capacitor wired with Vintage cloth "pushback" wiring.

Extra work that has been done during the building process:
Body has been completely shielded using shielding paint. Frets have had a complete fret level, crowning, polishing and dressing. The fret board edges have been rounded for a nice broken in feel and then finished in True oil, Poly (headstock) and Oil/Poly blend (back of neck). The neck feels and plays fast and is silky smooth on the back. You won't be disappointed.

This bass is only about 4 months old and has been my main bass since I built it. Except for some minor fingernail scratches around the pickup, this bass is in perfect condition. Total weight is approximately 9.5lbs.

The only reason for the sale is to fund a new project. I try to keep my personal basses and my "business inventory" separate, so in order to build myself a new bass, one has to go.

I'm asking 699.00 for this one and for an extra $100I'll through in a brand new M80 MONO gig bag worth $198 retail. Overseas O.K. Price does not include shipping due to size and ever changing fuel costs effecting shipping prices.

The only difference in the photo and how the bass looks now is that there is a volume knob and a tone knob with S/P in between.

PM me if you have any questions.

How much route is there on the rear compartment of the bass? Battery compartment already (likely no). Just thinking if there's room for putting a battery(s) and 3-band in there.

What is the weight?

What's the string spacing.

Scale?

[drdunwoody]

Pretty bass. I thought the strings spacing was 17.5mm on all Deluxe size necks with the T5 bridge. Are you sure it is 18.5?

Here is some more info in reply to questions asked.

Weight: 9.5lbs +/-
Scale: 34"
String spacing: 17.5mm (correction) not 18.5mm
Rear route is standard Warmoth rear cavity, but does have a lot of room for a pre-amp and battery. I'll post some pics of it openned up tomorrow.
Neck width at 22nd fret: 2 7/8"

Thanks for looking.

[Syco_bass]

Lot's of room for Battery and pre-amp.

Am I asking too much? How about $699 including the MONO Gig bag? Here is a pic of the bag.

These are brand new in the package. I have 1 gray and 1 black available. And just to answer the question up front, no I will not sell the gig bag for $100 without the bass. Sorry.
