This is an early 55-94, the 111th made. It will be a piece of history one day.
Just gigged with it this weekend and it killed as usual.
It has a swamp ash body and a rosewood fretboard. Features the early Bartolini electronics, which are considered by many to be the best.
Price is $2,250 shipped CONUS on the original hard shell case.
As for trades, not really looking for anything, but maybe a 5-string Lull P/J can interest me.
Pictures to follow shortly.

Yargh! Perfect specs for me - might have to flip one of my favorites for this... Looking for a good fit for my blues/classic rock band - could this be the one?!
Got a Ken Lawrence Associate 5 I might sacrifice if you or any one else is interested?

|  | Registered User | | | | | Wow. That is beautiful. I've got the same bass in LPBlue. Original Barts and pre are what put these basses on the map. People are rarely letting go of these early ones for good reason. |

Do you have to purchase the music to hear said track, or is there a sample somewhere? |
