Couldn't change title, so sorry for re-post. Financial issues dictate the situation, and this is a great bass. help a brotha out!
I'm a firm believer that basses should be played, and while this bass has incredible sentimental value for me, it's just not being played, and I don't foresee myself playing it anytime in the near future. It's also quite beautiful, however, I have different tastes for wall art
Here are the specs:
Custom Benavente Single Cut A-Style bass built May 2005
34" scale
1 5/8" nut
19 mm @ bridge string spacing
Brass Nut
8.8 lbs on trusty bathroom scale.
Neck-Thru Design
Camphor Burl Top
Maple Pin-Stripe
Figured Mahogany Back
5-Piece Maple/Walnut Neck
Figured Mass. Ebony Fretboard with Custom Bass Clef Inlay on the 12th Fret.
Flame Maple Neck Binding

Matching Wood Knobs

It was featured on all tracks except Sans Cam...go figure.
This bass plays incredibly, and by incredibly, I mean by itself. The action is low, the tone is great, and it's truly a one-of-a kind. I don't really want to get rid of it, but it needs to be played!
$1599+shipping to lower 48
All offers welcome. Financial emergency!
