OK guys - this pains me!
This has been a long and hard decisions to make, however...
Up for sale is my Mailloux SCJC 6 string.
This bass was the result of a lot of collaboration with the man himself, Phillipe Mailloux (
http://www.maillouxbasses.com/). Made in Brisbane, Australia.
I literally love everything about this bass... apart from the fact it's got 6 strings.
Over my time away from the 6 I used a 5 string all the time - and I loved the simplicity of it. Just can't get back into the 6er anymore.
This bass sounds amazing, and is pretty much fully optioned - no holds barred!
The build thread for this bass is here (tons of photos inside):
