FT Feeler: R-bass singlecut 5er

gkbass13 · #1 08-12-2010, 06:53 PM

Ok, so I'm pretty sure I'm a 4 string player. more specifically I think PJ setups work for me best(although Jazz basses tend to tickle my fancy as well). So, I'm going to put up a feeler trade for my 5 string singlecut R-bass.

I'm looking for PJ or Jazz basses, preferably 4 string, if 5 string it must have a 34 inch scale.

Price added....

1900 shipped and insured in the lower 48 with a gig bag, OBO.

Will include a set of used but still somewhat lively steel strings and a set of 5 MTD style knobs if you want to have the pre-amp rewired for the 5 knob layout.

details:

5 string, 19mm spacing
34 inch scale
Ash/walnut/ figured chestnut body
maple/walnut 5 piece bolt on neck
ebony board w/walnut(?) dots
rosewood pickup covers and headstock accent
Nordstrand MM and big Single pickups
Aguilar OBP-3 Preamp
Black Hipshot hardware
Dunlop straplocks
24 frets (currently strung E-C, but can be switched back without an adjustment to the nut)
weighs right around 10 lbs on my bathroom scale

Currently has 4 MTD style knobs along with the rosewood stacked knob for the control layout.

....Whoever installed the Aggie preamp did so with a stacked pot, so there is a dummy nob currently.

There was also a tiny crack repaired at the end of the fret board under the B string(24th fret area) wouldn't be noticeable unless mentioned and dosn't affect anything.

Anyone who knows me, knows I absolutely LOVE Ray's work as a luthier, but I want to see what is out there.

Sadowsky, Lakland, Nordy, etc.... Cash +/- as necessary.

i cant believe no one has commented on this sc ....its a stunner for sure

gkbass13 · #6 08-15-2010, 10:51 AM

Agreed. The figured chestnut top is out of control, and it is a pretty cool body shape, IMO.

Price added and trades updated

Don't hesitate to make offers, I know she is intimidatingly beautiful, but I will listen to trades and trades+cash.

Up top.

If anyone would like sound clips, I have a full hour and 45 minute set recorded with this bass and could send a link or a file. It sounds awesome!....the term "musicman on steroids" isn't used much, but is appropriate here.

bump.

any more pics?

gkbass13 · #11 08-18-2010, 05:56 PM

I can take some more tomorrow.

P's, J's and PJ's are on my radar. My R-bass 4 has the modern vibe covered.

Beautiful bass. Alas, all I have for a trade offer is my MIJ Fender Aerodyne J-Bass with Nordstrand pickups + a wad of cash. Not quite a Sadowsky, but a great player.

gkbass13 · #13 08-19-2010, 08:36 AM

If that wad of cash is quite large, you should PM me.

Justyn · #14 08-19-2010, 09:01 AM

Allow me to consult with the vice-provost of dispensation of said wad.
