Bump for a sweet bass I used to own. I believe it has a Suhr preamp and the barts are new. What a great player!

binky · #13 06-29-2011, 11:03 PM

Thanks, I didn't know it was a Suhr preamp. Sure sounds good.

That's an interesting looking bass. Beautiful finish. Does the B tuner being so further away from the nut help the Low B any?

binky · #18 07-03-2011, 06:12 PM

Not sure but the B is pretty tight and beefy

madbassplaya · #19 07-03-2011, 06:27 PM

What would you compare the sound to?

I owned this bass a couple years ago. I talked to Pat about it. it is a custom build for a friend of his built in the late 90's. it has a jazz bass sound and the suhr pre is awesome sounding with the barts.
It was in very good condition while I owned it no reason to think it is any different now. I love the finish and reverse headstock!
