I had to click like 3 links to get the specs, it's kinda annoying and most people won't even bother.
Specs from the original seller!!!

Here's a rare Sukop singlecut 5er in 34" scale! This is only available by custom order in this scale length, and you won't find many. This particular one is gorgeous, with a myrtle burl top, birdseye maple fingerboard with pearl blocks, and alder body. The bass is in like new condition, and I love it.

The neck has a compound radius, and each string has its own individual bridge. The pickups/electronics are Bartolini and work really well with this bass/pickup placement. The body is radiused to match the fingerboard, and the bass is overall pretty light (8.0 lbs on my bathroom scale, but I suspect it's closer to 8.5 by feel).

This is truly a bass I never thought I would sell; it was $3800 new; I'm the original owner...

$2800 shipped with gig bag

Very interested in moving this piece! I am open to hearing offers. People this is an outstanding musical instrument and believe me when I say, (and all Sukop owners or previous owners can attest to this) the craftsmanship of these basses are TRULY second to none. Perfect weight and balance. This bass plays itself. Lots of sound samples here:http://www.sukop.com/index.html Once on the home page click: namm or simply click here:http://www.sukop.com/namm.html

Until coming to Talkbass, I didn't know there were so many gorgeous electric basses out there in the hands of players. I still love my Fender, but, wow... First time I've seen the back radius-ed like that, too. Gorgeous instrument.

Can't afford it, but had to stop and sigh for a moment. Good luck.

Thank you Sir!
