This is a fantastic bass in near mint condition. I've tried a number of string combinations and found the Obligatos/Spirocore combination to be the deepest and warmest. I also invested in the very solid NS Designs flight case.
Here's the total package:
NS Design CR-5 Electric 5-String Double Bass: ($2,870 value)
Pirastro Obligato Strings (G-D-A-E): ($135 value)
Thomastik Spirocore Orchestral String (B): ($65 value)
NS Designs Flight Case (

Also, I will pay for shipping within the continental US (the bass will ship in its flight case from St. Louis). If you'd like to pick it up or try it out in person, I could discount the price accordingly.
As I am motivated to sell, my selling price is only $1900.
This bass has been extremely well cared for. The only thing distinguishing it from new is a barely visible divot in the wood on the edge of the bass just above the volume/tone controls (see photo). You might not even be able to see it, but I mention it in the interest of full disclosure of the condition of the bass.
Feel free to contact me with any questions (jimlehman7@hotmail.com).
