Shen SB80 Package w/ AI Contra

For sale is what I believe to be a pretty awesome package for a student or Slab player looking to get into DB and hit the ground running for a relatively small investment. Let me lead with the bad news...the bass is a 2004 SB-80 that has a really, really awful refinish job. For some bizarre reason the original owner (not who I bought it from) stripped the finish and attempted to brush on a new finish with disastrous results. This of course does not effect the tone or playability of the bass and is purely cosmetic. See photos for detail. In a typical dark club it's not noticeable from more than a few feet away. If you don't care about or can get past the Ugly Duckling effect, or are capable of refinishing the bass yourself, this will be a real bargain. Here's the list of what's included and what has been done to this bass:

Full setup by Upton Bass including new bridge, tail gut, end pin, fingerboard dressing, nut adjustment, removal of finish from back of neck. The Upton Bass setup is well documented here http://www.uptonbass.com/Bass-Setup/ and these cats went all out for me when I brought them the bass in 2006. Also a set of Spiro Obligatos went on at that time.

Full Circle Pickup

Gollihur Brazilwood Bow (German) w/leather quiver

Gollihur Single Bow Case

Gollihur Bass Bag (green)

Ingles Stand

Intellitouch Tuner

$1000 Bass SOLD!

Sorry, but I will NOT ship this bass. I live in New Hartford CT and am willing to drive 100 miles to deliver or meet. I can accept PayPal.

Also for sale is an Acoustic Image Contra Series II w/gig bag in very good condition.

$600Decided to keep the amp

If you buy both I'll knock off another $100, so package price would be $1500.

If the bass sells separately I will ship the amp in the US, buyer pays shipping.
