Messenger DLX

SOLD



I am selling a Messenger DLX in very good condition with gig bag, stand and stand bag. I belive the scroll on it is the custom scroll.

I have been very happy with this bass. It has a great sound that is a very good approximation of an amplified upright. It is very well made.

My preference if you are in the market for one of these basses is that you buy one new from the maker John Knutson.

Support our luthiers!!

However, if you don't have the $3600- $3800 to buy one new consider mine for $2000.

For more info on Messenger basses see http://messengerbass.com/pricelist.html

I am in the San Jose California area if you would like to play it.

The scale length is right at 41 from bridge to nut. The bridge is moveable.

The scroll appears to be the same as the majority of the basses shown in the pictures with players on the web site.

I have a few pics which if I can send if you will give me your email.
