FS: New One of a kind(prototype) ESP 5 string bass

Up for sale(possible trade) is a Brand new one of a kind Prototype ESP 5 string bass. There was one 1 made in the 4 and 5 string models. I tried to contact ESP to find out about the pre-amp installed as well as wood specs but never got any clarification on it(pic of control cavity below for the pre-amp). It does have EMG-HZ pick-ups and sounds very clear. The neck is a thin traditional ESP 5 string width and aside from needing a set up plays awesome. The bass also has some decent weight to it so it definitely isn't a basswood cheap body....

I am looking to get $550 shipped for it and as far as trades I am really looking for a 4 string Spector Rebop or something similar(A REX bass would be killer too).


Here are some pics..... (Click on the pics for correct angle)



















Please email with any questions and Thanks for Looking!!!!

Nifty! Looks like a Warwick Dolphin and a Brubaker Lexa hooked up and had a bass baby

Honestly I dont think it is worth that much. 6 string gave the one five string away in a contest and the 4 string got put on ebay and sold for avout $600

Never really thought it was anything that worthy of what they said it was worth. But that said this bass is kick ass and if I was a 5 string player would definitely keep it.

It is still available so feel free to shoot me an offer if anyone is interested. I am not in any hurry to sell it but if someone is looking for something really unique(being a proto-type) then this is a killer one to have......


I will go $500 OBO

Feel free to send me an offer......
