Up for sale is my 5 string CB Bass made by Cliff Bordwell. It’s a Big McNeely 5 string 35 inch scale bass that I am the original owner of. This bass is in mint condition, and has stayed in my smoke free climate controlled office. It has only been taken out of the house about 5 times since I’ve owned it.
Price - $2,500 for it shipped only conus using PayPal for payment option only.
I will pay for shipping through UPS with insurance.
Price is firm, I have to start moving to my new home next week so ad will be closed by Tuesday the 6th.
I am only selling this bass because of medical issues that have caused me lots of hand pain. Pictures do not do this bass justice! Out of 16 CB basses I have owned it is the most beautiful and best playing bass I have ever owned! Cliff puts his bridges at the back of the bass, so his 35” scale basses feel very short. My hands just cannot handle a 5 string anymore.
