SCT1422 · #1 06-14-2011, 07:13 PM

This is a one of a kind based on a '54-'55 P-Bass in a 5 string version.. It's #14 and in FireMist Gold with matching headstock, rosewood board and alder body, Nordy Big Splits in the 70's position with the Nordy 2 band preamp and stacked volume, tone, and stacked treble/bass...34" scale and 21 frets, weighs in the lower 9's.. It's light and very comfortable with a nice roundish feel to the neck.. It ships in a Protec case and is mint.. Asking $2400.00 shipped in the U.S. only...

Took this out on the gig last night and had a chance to really play it... I wasn't crazy about the 70's spacing at first or it may be the Big Split pickups, but I may try a few alterations.. I lowered the bridge pickup alittle and it sounded great.. I may try some Big Singles which is what I have in my VJ-5 and also some different strings.. It feels great on the strap along with the light weight and 34" scale.. I do like the slap tone better than my VJ-5 too... So sort of on the fence, but will sell if interested bump...
