Hi guys , I've bought this bass from another tber recently but I guess I have to stick with 18mm ss.

So I am selling this bass, it's in near mint condition.
not a brandnew condition. has some sign of wear ,but nothing serious. have one scratche at the back of the neck ,but no serious at all.

34"scale and 19mm spacing
weights 9.5 lb
mahogany body,Burl walnut top,5 piece neck rosewood &maple
ebony finger board
split coil switch also active/passive switch.
Electronics : Bartolini 18v ,tone(passive mode only) , B/M/T , PAN , VOL
Comes with the original STR semi-hard case.

playability is excenllent , sounds amazingly close to mahogany body fodera , killer slap sound but 19mm ss..

Sorry for the color , I couldn't take better picture. I guess I should get a nother light. In person it looks a bit darker than this.

Does it have a split coil feature or only humbucker mode? STR's are great!

Wow, these Str's are really something else. I hear they are basically a Fodera-quality axe.

It's funny about string-spacing. On a 6-string I definitely prefer 18 or 19mm at the bridge, but on a 5-string, I don't mind going tighter. I know, 17.5 feels fine to me, but maybe even tighter. I guess it's just easier to feel cramped on a 6-string.

Well , I agree with their quality , Even though it's 19mm ss I bought it because everything I've heard about STR was they are fantastic. But now I know again , I need 18mm.

What is the finish?

youngs · #11 10-28-2010, 12:01 AM

Don't really know what's the finish ,but I'll ask to Lowend and post it up. Sorry.
Looks like it's a satin non gloss finish. could be oil finish. I'll check it out.

I have owned a few of these beautiful STR basses and I believe the finish is indeed some kind of satin-polyurethane. It feels great to the touch and doesn't show finger prints. Gorgeous bass, wish I could afford it............
