Great sounding Chinese Bass for sale!!!

[almal]

So, last year I bought a really amazing sounding bass from KC strings in Kansas City. It is a fully carved flat-back, a large 7/8's bass that is very lound with an amazing tone. It has a thin neck, so it plays very easily as well. Now here comes the sad part. I moved the bass to Montreal, where I am now and it had problems with the weather. I don't have a car so, I use public transport a lot, which means my brand new flat-backed bass spend time in the cold dry climate. POP! I have had several big cracks. Currently there is one on a rib that I can't afford to fix. I know myself well enough to know that I will continue to not take care of the bass wel enough to prevent problems, so I have decided to sell it. I paid 5,500$ US. for the bass. Fixing the crack will probably cost around 600$ US, so I would like to get $4,900 for the bass. I'll throw in the bag for free. In Canadian dollars, that would mean I would want 5,761$ Canadian. These numbers are negociable, of course. I hope someone gives this bass a great home, because it really has an amazing tone for jazz. PM me for pics or sound files.

Cheers
