For sale FS Conlkin GT BD 7 string bass. $1000

I am selling a Conklin Groove Tools Bill Dickens Signature Model 7 string bass. I recently purchased it on eBay as it was being sold as new by a music store. However, there are some dings to the finish that the seller would not speak to. (see pics)

Despite the damage to the finish, I have had it about a month and really love it, but I have my eye on an even more expensive 7 string custom bass so need to sell this one FAST AND CHEAP to get it! (Usually sell for $1495 used on eBay and $1895 new).

This bass has a beautiful tone, great action, and looks great (blemishes only visible close up).

Here are the specs:

- Neck-Thru Body
- 34" Scale Length
- 24 Medium Jumbo Frets
- 16" Fingerboard Radius
- Gold Hardware
- Custom Bartolini "Bill Dickens" Model Pickups with Custom Bartolini Parametric Frequency Selector, Brilliance Control, Volume, Blend &
Full EQ (9 Volt)
- 7 pc Maple/Purpleheart Neck with Purpleheart Fingerboard
- Swamp Ash Body Wings with Curly Maple Top
- Natural Clear-Coat Finish

I have made a few improvements:
- New Strings $75 - Snakeskins by Conklin SS18135
(.018, .025, .035, .055, .080, .110, .135)
- Professional set up
- Recessed gold Strap Loks

Sorry, no case. Ship CONUS only. $50 shipping.
