I might regret this later but I am just not gigging 5-strings these days so this needs to go to someone that will play it. It's a great bass, clear and growly tone, super B-string voice, sits great in the mix. It has light birdseye and figuring in the neck which I tried to show in the pics.
Condition is near-mint. The previous owner didn't take to 5-strings and it sat in the case for several years. You have to look very closely to find a few minor scuffs and scratches. No buckle rash, very light fret wear. Zero issues, electronics work perfectly, straight neck, low action, fresh strings (Slinky .045-.130), it needs nothing. Solid as a rock.
Born date from the EBMM forum is 11/2/00. This has a ceramic pickup and a flat black pickguard with light playing wear on it. Weight is 11lbs with excellent balance. All original as far as I know. Comes with the OHSC which is also excellent.
$1100 plus shipping. Price is firm, if I can't get that I'll just keep it. Paypal okay but the buyer must have a confirmed address. I will ship to Canada or USA only via Canada Post with insurance.
For trades I will only consider the following:
- 4-strings only! - Stingray HS, Stirling HS, Lakland 44-02, G&L JB-2, or any good passive J-bass with a P-bass body. A choice vintage G&L would tempt me as well.
- Genz Benz Streamliner 900 or Shuttle 9.0
On with the eye candy and thanks for looking.
