Here are the specs and pictures, straight from the original thread. Looking for [DEL]$2400[/DEL] $2200 OBO. No trades please, unless you have a Hammond B3, DSI Prophet 08+cash, or high end guitar of some kind! :hiding:

- 6-string 18mm spacing
- Single cut design
- 5-Piece Neck W/ Rosewood fingerboard
- Solid Ash body W/ Zebrawood pickguard

I'm in Boston. However, I visit Los Angeles every couple weekends and could easily meet you there as well depending on where you're located. :)

And to Alan, thanks for the free bump! You're absolutely right, it's a wonderful instrument.

Hey! My old bass! Aww man, I kinda regret trading it. Killer bass, Big ups to Jim Reed for making me those custom pickups, Dual Coil Alinico magnets with Black Walnut covers. Bippity Bump!!

All PM's answered, bass still here!

I clarified in my PM to Herson, but might as well put it here too-- the only trade I'd consider is a Hammond B3 tonewheel organ. That's what this sale is meant to fund. :)

Zebra Pickguard and wood knobs, Probably it sounds better with the Dual coils

Would love to consider this but it's a bit out of my range. Thought I'd leave a post here however suggesting that you consider a Nord Stage Piano. for your keyboard. No, it's not a B-3. But has terrific organ effects. I mean awesome. I picked one up used from CraigsList for about $2,000. This is an 88 key weighted....with unreal number of effects from straight acoustic piano to B-3 w Leslie control and everything in btween. If you're sticking to the "real" B-3 I don't blame you...they are priceless. Just thought I'd toss out the idea.

Definitely a good suggestion on the Nord, but I've gotta have the real deal! :hyper:

Man, I would love to try this thing out and see how it plays. Looked pretty hard at this (even though I told myself I was taking a break from six string) and at a certain five-string. If the five-string weren't on the way... I don't know.

The Reed pickups are a pricey addition, and the body looks like a sweet piece of ash. Neck looks interesting, too -- is that ash in the neck? I've heard of at least one high-end maker (Wood & Tronics) doing that with some basses recently, and I know that Fred Bolton (Bee Basses) has used some non-traditional woods in some necks.

People need to check out the photos of this thing!
