This isn't going to read quite like most ads you'll see online.
Several years back, I received this bass as a gift. I do not mind fiddling with instruments and frankly, did not want to make a fuss or else this would have been sent right back to Rondo Music.
- The nut is not slotted correctly, with a curious distance between the 'B' and the end of the fretboard. (Edit: Seems the but is just slotted slightly more narrow than the thickness of the fretboard implies.)
- It seems that when the neck was installed a sliver of the bubinga top 'lifted' and QC's solution was to give that spot a rough sanding. This is visible under light.
- The preamp was a disaster and was tossed with the intent of throwing a 3-band in. There is no preamp, nor passive setup.
- An additional control hole was drilled to accommodate the theorized 3-band preamp
- The 'B' string rings particularly weak, though I did not experiment with different strings. I believe it has D'addario Rounds.
- Needs a setup otherwise, neck relief, intonation, ect.
- In good, unplayed condition otherwise with a very small ding by one of the horns the only thing of note.
- EDIT: Further review found the small ding on the headstock and a hard piece of junk on the rear of the body. I will leave removal to the buyer as I'm afraid of lifting the finish with my lack of finese. The strap pins and truss cover were also robbed for other project.
I had some issues getting my phone to focus on the minor details so don't hesitate to request I give it another whirl if there is anything you'd like to see.
With my two other 6ers in prime shape, I just don't have the inclination/time to invest into this.
Trades: MTD gigbag, Midi keyboard, bass effects (stereo reverb, preamps), books, monitors, Valve JR head.. don't be afraid to make offers, I have many interests.
Price does NOT include shipping.
