This is a Bassline Bustiny 5 string bass-30" Short Scale.
Bassline is a German high-end bass company with luthiers who produce a small number of basses every year that are well sought after. The Control Cavity has it listed as 2017-#22 (serial Number)
It is a small bass with a big sound tailored to people who want to have awesome low-end, but can also be played with smaller hands.
Its Short scale (30"), it is quite light (8lbs) and it is tuned in B, E, A, D and G.
It was used as a showcase model by Bassline on industry events, custom made and unique.

Very good condition. No dents, Dings, or scratches on the bass.
**I found a hairline crack under pickup when I was changing strings and cleaning it up**
Small and not very noticeable but sadly enough is there following the grain.
(Info I found online)
Bodywood: Grained Maple
Fingerboard: ebony, fretted with 24 jumbo frets and zero fret-
There is a cool double line down the center of the fretboard -(see pics)
Neck: one piece Canadian hard maple
Finish: transparent, satin
Pickups: 1x Haeussel Jazzbucker with makassar ebony cover and mini switch serial/parallel
electronics: NOLL TCM 3 with volume (push/pull - active/passive) bass, mid, treble
hardware: ETS MK III headless bridge + tuner 17 mm spacing, black, ETS headpiece
8lbs on bathroom digital scale.

I got this from a friend as partial trade and I really don't play 5 strings.
Its absolutely Beautiful and extremely Solid. Sounds great, looks great, Truss is smooth and neck responsive.
Everything electronically is working as it should. Fresh Strings 45-130.
Control cavity is super neat and shielded nicely. Excellent Craftmanship here.
Has a softshell generic case-to protect in shipping.
**Will split discounted shipping**

This is a Badass snotty little machine! Super light, close spacing, set up nicely and plays really easy. 3 band EQ (cut/boost each) is nicely sensitive and you get a great spectrum of tones through the low mid and high knobs. This thing is really fun to play!

Killer bass. That crack should be stabilized with RBC or perhaps super glue but I would refer to the luthier forum. Easy peasy

Verifying the actual scale length tonight-I had originally measured from nut to bridge (32")..I will measure from nut to mid 12th fret and double to verify-
