WISHBASS #1127, MAHOGANY SCARAB FS/FT ...

Sign in to disble this ad
Well, it's that time again - time to let go of one of my refinished and modded Wishbasses. For your consideration is this fretless Scarab, Wishbass #1127, in all mahogany with a nice purpleheart fingerboard. $600.00, with gig bag, plus shipping to anywhere CONUS. I will consider trades, either for other Wishbasses or interesting hollow or semi-hollow bodied basses. Besides all the time I spent smoothing/refining the neck, headstock and body on this one, I also added a second passive J-pup with stacked vol/vol and tone pots. I also handmade the purpleheart nut, bridge piece and control cavity cover.

This is possibly the best looking Wishbass I've ever seen.

Thanks gentlemen! What's also nice about this one is it's weight. Most Wishbasses are 9 + pounds and at 7, it's a very gigable fretless. I appreciate the encouragement.

Here's another couple of views ...
