Couldn't change title, so sorry for re-post. Financial issues dictate the situation, and this is a great bass. help a brotha out!
I'm a firm believer that basses should be played, and while this bass has incredible sentimental value for me, it's just not being played, and I don't foresee myself playing it anytime in the near future. It's also quite beautiful, however, I have different tastes for wall art :-p

It was featured on all tracks except Sans Cam...go figure.
This bass plays incredibly, and by incredibly, I mean by itself. The action is low, the tone is great, and it's truly a one-of-a kind. I don't really want to get rid of it, but it needs to be played!
