This is most comfortable and nicest instrument I ever had, very very nice neck! I feel almost like on 4 string bass, also it's well balanced and light instrument. Why I put it here? Well this bass is very punchy let say aggressive, it's like "jet" and I feel it's litlle too much for music I play (jazz/blues)...there is that Roscoe smell absolutely. Bass is in Near Perfect Condition, there are two small finish cracks around the blend knob, you can just see them in the close up, impossible to see from even a foot away. Bass is otherwise PERFECT, not a single mark or scratch and it plays like an absolute dream. Ships in it's original hardcase with original paper work and trussrod tool.

specification:
Exhibition Grade Flame Maple top, Roscoe Orange Finish, Swamp Ash Body, Maple Fingerboard, maple / purple-heart laminated neck, 3 Band Aguilar Preamp-Vol / Belnd / Mid-Push / Pull Select 250Hz / 800Hz / Concentric Bass / Treble, Bartolini CB (classic bass) pickups, 35" scale, 12th fret inlay, hand carved graph-tech nut, black hardware, original Roscoe hard case, Hand-built in the USA.

trades?...some Hi-End bass (5string (?) )
Mike Lull(+cash)
maybe Sadowsky (not sure)
..tell me what you have :-)
I prefere cash 1800GBP/2100EUR shipped within EU

....thanks for looking Wimpy

How it sounds? The official dealer answered me me this (he did that after this bass was out of his shop!...George is very good person!):

"This bass #6032, I like the roscoe orange finish on the flame maple top. Looks very nice!
This bass sound more snappy in the high mids-highs, tight and deep lows. Overall very punchy sound.
Lighter in wieght as well with the swamp ash body".



...this bass is killer! It has just little diffrent sound than I'm looking for...

the bridge on this bass is Hipshot "A" style bridge with adjustable spacing... so you can go +/- 18mm till 19mm now I have something like 18,7mm or so...

Well this bass is for sale/trade for sure becouse I'm too stuck with my Fender Marcus Miller 5. I use my Fender for 90% playing, for some situations I use LG 3006 and for few songs my MTD FL. So that's becouse I want to sale my SKB3005 I feel I realy don't need other bass. Maybe I will try some other JB style instrument maybe even just for backup. I keep my eyes on Mike Lull's (5). I just found that modern JB instrument is my way... I don't push this sale right now. Be sure this SKB is looker, great ballanced, great playing like new instrument...thanks for looking W.

( ...trade with Mike Lull M5V on horizon )
