For sale is a Wendler ElectroCoustic bass. I bought this a while ago but never had a chance to use it.

The bass is in very good shape, say 9.5 out of 10. It has a very woody tone. You can find more info on their website.

This is very cool. I didn't know he made this body style.

Is that a floating bridge or is it glued in place?

Does it rest on your leg OK if you play it seated?

The bridge is fixed at one end but rotates and floats, a bit like the tailpiece of a double bass. The bass balances very well.

These things sound fantastic - super meaty and jazzy. Definitely check out the link to the guy and his band on the Wendler site playing that tune...sounds like Dexter Gordon or something, but that bass sounds like a fat upright.

Massive thumbs up for the Wendler concept.

Cheers

Here is a link to that jazzy clip I mentioned. Wow, it's hard to believe that awesome sound comes out of these bass guitars.

Bump for the Wendler sound. Unbelievable!

Cheers.

I have a different version of the Wendler Bass....pretty amazing instruments and they weigh in at about 6 lbs tops.... he uses Cedar as a body wood...and strings them all with Thomastiks and the basses are passive so you dont need to fuss with a battery.
I use mine in a bluegrass band and it works really well in that setting...

I'm sorry, but I understood that "$850 shipped to CONUS with no fee payment."meant that you pay shipping, I pay payment fee"
So you want $850 PLUS SHIPPING now? What else is going to change?
This is NOT a good first transaction for me....

That was the impression I got as well. But I guess we were wrong :-/
