Hi Guys,
I picked this bass up about a year ago. It is fantastic but unfortunately I lost my day job 3 months ago and the bank account is running low so I'm selling. I've got about $4500 in her and I'd like to get $3000. If you're local and you would like to check her out PM me. I'll even let you take her on a gig if your a jazzer.
Andrew down at the String Shop of Arizona has always done the maintenance and let me tell you this is a special bass.
Many nice upgrades too. This is a true working man's bass. It sounds and plays fantastic, and is ready to gig.
Fishman Full Circle pickup, adjustable French Despiau bridge, Spiro Mittels, New Endpin, and the previous owner had a very nice thick EBONY fingerboard installed (also done by Andrew at the String Shop of Arizona). Also have a nice bag and stand I could probably be talked into including.
Measurements are:
Upper Bout 20"
Lower Bout 26.5"
Back 44"
String Length (nut to bridge) 42"
I added lots of pics. (I finally figured out how to used my zoom properly and was able to get a nice pic of the finish checking. I love checking on old basses. It just looks kewwwwwl.)

Hi , before anything else i need to know if you have any way to ship the bass to NY city or woodstock NY .
as i am not from the US but have someone to take the bass for me there.
I don't have the slightest idea of how I could ship this but if you talk to Steve Koscica at the www.stringemporium.com you may be able to arrange shipping through him. I know he regularly ships uprights for people to try out. I could take the bass to him to ship. Of course the most likely outcome will be that you will just buy a bass from him and if thats the case then I'm glad I could help.
