Up for sale is my 5 string CB Bass made by Cliff Bordwell. This bass shape is called a DIA, and like all of Cliff’s basses, it is very comfortable.
The bass was delivered in March of 2023, and never left my office.

This bass is in mint condition, and one of the best sounding basses I have ever owned both in active mode and in passive mode. It uses an Aguilar two band preamp with Bartolini candy bar pickups
It has active, passive, and mute switch along with the passive tone control.
It also has a Rosewood ramp Cliff made for it.

It is currently strung with light gauge nickel Fodera strings. Strung E-C currently, but it came strung B-G. I can look for the original strings if requested.
It has clay front dots and Luminlay side dots.

Price - $2,200 for it shipped only conus using PayPal for payment option only.
I will pay for shipping through UPS with insurance.

Weight is 8.4 and 8.6 with ramp on.

Hey Scott!
Would you happen to have any 4s you'd be interested in selling?

Hey Matt,
Because of a medical condition with my hand muscles I’m letting going of all of my five string CB basses.
These ones are next after this bass sells.

It’s funny you ask that, my new bass coming next week from Cliff is a four string.
I’ll be an all four string player from here on out.

Wow!!! That bubinga bass...just, dang!!!!
Thanks, it’s my favorite bass I’ve ever had. It’s definitely the most beautiful, especially with the all Wenge and Purple Heart neck!

Here are two pics showing how awesome and comfortable this bass is to play. I love this one, and I’m going to be crazy sad to see it leave.
Thankfully I’ll still have 5 four string CB’s left in the house!
