Back up for sale

Purchased this one off JTlee on TB a couple of months ago before deciding that I personally prefer 4 strings over 5. This is also being offered for sale locally.

Neck: Maple, 34" Scale
Fingerboard: Rosewood, 22 frets
Bridge: Chrome Gotoh Style, Thru body or thru bridge, 19mm string spacing
Tuners: Chrome open gear
Pickup: Single MM-Style Humbucker (w/ears) Electronics: Active 2-band EQ
Finish: Wineburst (kind of like Yamaha's)
Weight: 9.7 lbs

I bought it for $425USD plus shipping from Canada.

Nice looking - what would you say are the strong features of this bass?

How would you describe the neck?

Very nice. It would look nice sitting next to my burnt apple ray5.

Sorry for the long wait on a reply to questions. I find the neck on this guitar very fast for a 5, not too thick or cumbersome, but the 19mm spacing on the strings gives you enough room for all sorts of right-hand techniques.

The strongest feature of this bass is it's warmth though. The active pickup is awesome, and even when bashing out a low B it still sounds nice and warm.

Since this is still hanging around, I'm going to see if I can sell off my ATK305 and get it. These basses may actually be better put together than real Stingrays.
