Bass is in fantastic shape. Had frets leveled earlier this year by Keith and has very low action. Only reason I am selling is the latin gig I got it for is done, and I want to get back into a jazz.

Here's a very short sample of some recent recordings using this bass... use good headphones/speakers, and you'll get a great sense of its tonal characteristics.

Can't belive I'm doing this and can't go any lower.... New low price: $1,500 + shipping.

It's a steal for this caliber instrument and the work that was recently done. Work with me people... you will not be disappointed with this bass!

Thanks for asking! 5 string, 35" scale, maybe a Lakland 55-01? I would need money to provide the primary balance in any trade, as I'm broke, but I'm open to ideas.
