This is just TOO COOL
I rarely consider buying basses that are Warmoth, etc
But this??..

Is it possibly to NOT look cool
playing this onstage?
If she was a 4banger I'd snatch her right up

It has a 4 string p-bass neck on it now. It is just strung with 5 strings.

It also has a strap extender on it to help with the neck dive. Any sound clips of this bad boy?

(I've heard it, it's awesome, but thought it might help...)

Real inlays? Trades?

The neck has block stickers ... it is a p-bass neck with dots. The stickers can be removed.

Sorry no trades ... I have too many basses now.

Actually the one you heard was looked like this one ... but this one was built here in Colorado in the last year or 2.

I don't have sound clips ... I will work on that.

Is each string getting a balanced level? The 4 string poles are off from the 5 string set up?

Sometimes pics don't show up in the iPod/iPhone app.
Tap the very top of the post to get to "classic"/desktop mode, they show up.

If this was converted back to a four,
I may be interested,

Any chance u have the original four string nut?
( & a 4S bridge?)

I have been doing 4-2-5 conversions for years. 8 pole pickups cover 5 strings all the time. As long as you keep the string spacing 2 5/8" or 2 1/2". If you go 3" then you need a wider pickup.

4 to 5 bass conversion

SOLD!

A local talkbass member in Boulder CO just picked it up and paid for it. He now has 2 of my Fenderbirds.
