This is an "El Capitan" 5-string fretless acoustic bass guitar. I have it strung with RotoSound Tru-Bass 88 strings to emulate the sound of a double-bass when amplified and have made a brass piece so that the B string rests on the full width of the string at the bridge to give it a tighter feel. I had it strung before with LaBella Nylon Tape Wounds but I prefer the RT-88s; I will send it with both sets so you can make up your own mind.
It is also great for practicing on the couch without need for amplification.
As you can see from the close-up it uses shadow electronics for amplification; it has both a 1/4" jack and a Low-Z 3-pin output.
It comes with the original hardshell case (some minor scuffs) and it is missing the truss-rod cover but is in excellent shape overall.
This particular version is no longer made by Epiphone and cost me new ~$1'100USD
Asking $500 USD + shipping. Will ship internationally, preferably via CanadaPost; bear in mind it is a big item. Payment through PayPal
Not really interested in any trades, I'm trying to get enough funds for a Dingwall ABII (I hope that is a good reason for selling my very first bass ever
)
