THIS BASS IS NOW FOR SELL. I got this bass at a GREAT price and was hoping to be able to pass the savings on to the next potential owner. However and unfortunately, financial matters dictate a market value sell. I am asking $5,800. The original post reads:Greetings all. I am posting this beautiful bass as a trade feeler in hopes to obtain the very same bass in a 5 or 6! No need to throw in the usual hype "I SIMPLY LOVE IT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mute comes with. I am the third owner. I received it because the seller wants the same: A replica in a 5. If I don't find what I am looking for I will be just fine, honestly! I've already went through my bands playlist to discover where I can get away without having the B. 98% .....Oops, Did I say that? ..and the weight of this baby's got me spoiled rotten considering my Emperor 5 enters the ring at about 11lbs. Not for sure of this basses weight but, it fills like around 9. If anyone wants more accurate figure, I'll put it on the old bathroom scale and post my findings. Sweet, Sweet...bass!!!!

Thank you for your inquiry, However at this time, I'm just interested in trades. I must be honest though, I thought I was strictly a 5 strings and up person, but this bass have caused me to question that stance. I am seriously thinking it's gonna be staying with me. If something changes, I'll shoot ya a pm.Thanks again!

Best!

As of the present, I am hoping to receive an opportunity for the right trade. I am really, really digging this bass!!!! So much so that I am seriously making attempts to re-acclimate myself to the 4 string. However, if I feel that it may be in my best interest to move on, I will sell. Thanks for asking. Keep checking;) BTW................speaking of simple elegance, I just happened to have found some more pics! See! :D

I have found my home on 5 strings so I am keeping my Emperor BO 5. This one's and exceptionally beautiful sounding and playing bass and honestly, it won't hurt at all if it does not sell. It would make things a little easier if it did however.:p

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the device between the bridge and the bridge pickup?

That my friend, is a string mute system. Flip the lever back and the felt pads rest against the strings ever so lightly causing a muting effect. Very,very nice! Flip it once again in same direction, the pads apply more pressure against the strings to cause more intense muting. The photos show the level in the off position. Gotta get one for my other bass.:cool:

Opportunity knocks. At this point a straight sell is my goal as I need to pay for an automobile. If you are interested in this bass, I am listening to reasonable offers. I kid you not I LOVE THIS BASS! If my finances were better It would not be listed here! H O N E S T L Y !!!!! Between this and my 5 with single coils I have what I need. I would be nice if it were a 5 string but, I guess it wouldn't be the same instrument. :atoz: Anyways
this and my 5 are my only basses and I feel ready for anything! I used to have 11 basses and was still searching. Now I am pretty much content with just the two. If the automobile thing doesn't pan out I'll be just as happy. Deep down sometimes I believe it may be best that it doesn't. If it sells however, I'll get another down the line.
