Deep “Set-Neck” design with ergonomically contoured asymmetric heel - High mass Brass Hipshot bridge slightly recessed into the top. This bass is the one with the famous headstock repair documented here: Forrester Kustoms Guitar Repair & Service - Guitar Repair Pics
If you read up on the history of this bass you’ll see how impressive the repair was, and I can honestly say unless I took a black light to this bass I’d never know it was there. It’s really that good. Comes in a new deluxe warwick gig bag. The bass has no issues what so ever. My cash sales price is $2500 shipped Conus (Paypal preferred). No trades please.
Thanks to ModulusAcacia, Forrester Kustoms and spectorj for the pics and description.

I studied the finished photos as close as I could- I for one could not tell it was repaired.
Hell, if you didn't know, judging from the pictures, you would have zero idea the headstock broke clean off.
Bump for an awesome bass at a MONSTER price.

Yes indeedy MikeBass. Mike Forrester is as good as you'll ever find as a luthier. If you were never informed that this bass had been repaired, I seriously doubt that you would ever have had any clue, either visually or thru playing the bass. With that said, there are ZERO issues with this bass as a result of the repair job or otherwise. I just plain old smokes

Sorry, nothing recorded at the moment w/this one  Awesome bass for showing up at a random gig cause it can be dialed in for just about anything.

If I had to describe the tone, I'd put it somewhere near a ken smith, but with many more tonal possibilities. The coil tap on each pickup really gives you over a dozen configurations in passive mode. Playability on that one was pretty bada$$ too. Great GREAT bass. |

Builder for Audiokinesis and Fearful speakers Endorser for EA, Roscoe | | | | | Is it a set-neck or neck-through?
I guess I didn't understand about the wenge core |
