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.

Just had the frets leveled by Keith this year, plays amazingly with stupid low action.

Great deal that I really wish I could pick up!

ModulusQ5-122 · #18 10-20-2011, 02:13 PM

What kind of fretless are looking for?

bwest9 · #19 10-20-2011, 02:20 PM

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.

bwest9 · #20 10-21-2011, 03:02 PM

Maybe I should just give this away?
