This bass was assembled for me by a local luthier from parts that i ordered custom to my specs.
The neck:
Built by USA Custom Guitars
-Quartersawn Maple, Ebony FB
-Truss adjust at the heel
-34", 21 frets
-Corian Nut
-Vintage frets(smaller, 6230)
-12" fretboard radius
-the '62 contour, slim C
-MOP inlays, side and face
-Hiphot HB1 tuners
-Hipshot 3 string bar retainer
-Clear satin nitro finish
The Body:
Warmoth Alder body
LPB nitro finish, has a semi-gloss/leaning toward satin feel
Finish has a chip near the neck pocket as is shown in the final picture. The finish doesn't feel like a traditional fender finish, it's more of a satin-y feel. The pictured chip is the largest chip, and there are a few small "dots" on the back as well as normal scratches. Overall the finish is in fairly good shape but is not pristine.
Electronics:
Nordstrand nj4's
Audere Pre with zmode
All cavities and pg are shielded with copper foil(professional job)
Gotoh bridge, white pearloid pg, dunlop straplocks
professionally assembled. had a recent setup with DR hibeams 40-100, still plenty of life in the strings.
Now, for the business...
I am DFW local and would prefer to keep a deal in this area. I am open to shipping, i expect that to run in the $40-$90 range after packaging and insurance.
Trades:
-No cabs or basses at this time
-pedal pre-amps: fodera or sadowsky
-nicer overdrive/distortion
-ebs pedals
This bass plays like a dream, at least for me it's everything i wanted in a bass. The sound is perfect, bright, punchy, and clear.
This one cost me $1300 after parts, finishing, and the professional assembly.
$950 $850 cash. (+ a shipping deal, depending on distance i will pay some of the associated costs)
