FS: Stambaugh Fretless 5 - Sleek and Fast!

[swpyne]

This is a beautiful Stambaugh Designs 5-string fretless in excellent condition. It was previously posted and I thought it had been sold. But, here it is again with a few improvements............

One piece figured bubinga body, wenge/bubinga bolt on neck, ebony fingerboard, mid-q shift switch, 3 Bartolini pickups with humbucker splitting switches for the back two pickups, Bartolini preamp.

Since these photos were taken I have had black recessed Dunlop straplock buttons installed as well as additional dots on the edge of the fingerboard at every fret location.

Crisp, articulate sound, lots of toneshaping options. Plays like butter. Two tiny dings, one on the front and one on the back that are virtually impossible to photograph.

Killer unlined custom fretless 5 for a very reasonable price!

SOLD! Asking $1,495.00 shipped and insured in the continental US.
It will ship it in a very nice ProTec Contego gig bag.

I need to sell this to pay some bills. All reasonable cash offers will be considered. Trades are a possibility but cash is king right now!

Scale length?

Still wondering what the scale length is...

Also, do you have her strung B-G or E-C?

Thanks - she is such a keeper!

Gah! I've seen this one up before and GASed hard for it... If I wasn't waiting for a Pentabuzz to make its way to me right now, we'd be talking!

You have a PM.

Good luck on the sale.

Yea, I can't wait... Should be here tomorrow and in time to gig on NYE!

I didn't have enough money when this was up last time, and now I've got the Penta coming... If I didn't, this would already be gone! Somebody buy this beautiful instrument!
