Details

Bought this STR bass used from the LowEnd Bass Shop in Murfreesboro TN about 6mo ago for $2499.

Excellent playing & sounding bass. It just doesn't have THE sound that I'm looking for. There are 2 dings on the bass which you will be able to see in the pics. The back has ever so slight wear where you would expect (also pictured). All imperfections were there before I bought the bass. Other then that it's really a very very nice bass. Comes with a STR gig bag. I would sell for $2150 shipped. Trade value $2499

My preference would be to do an even trade, or trade down just a bit plus cash on your end. I will entertain trade offers where I owe cash on my end but no more then a $300 difference. I'm looking for a more traditional looking bass i.e. Valenti, Sadowsky, Nordy, Lull, Xotic, Low End, etc...let me know what you got. Got to be 34" & 19mm & preferably a 5 string. Although I'll entertain 6 string offers.

Here are a few clips that I threw together real quick to demonstrate the basic sounds on this bass. All are in active mode with master tone midway, B, M & T straight up 12. Boosted the B & T just a hair in the one with slap.

Does this come with a Contego case? That ding by the input jack looks like it came from the old Contego cases with the defective screw before they were recalled.

It may have to begin with but that's not the case that I got when I bought it.

What is the weight?

Updated in original post. 9.4lbs.

WILL YOU TRADE FOR A SIX STRING KEN SMITH

Not exactly what I'm looking for but I have been wanting/toying with the idea of getting a KS for a while. If you have any pics, message them to me.

STR love bump.

Thanks for the bump. It really is an amazing bass & I'm actually quite bummed that I'm looking to trade/sell it.

I owned a very similar STR,....amazing basses, great necks, insanely good craftsmanship on these! Free bump and a thumbs up on the quality of these instruments.
 
Bump.

This may not be here too much longer. Really mulling over a trade offer and I might pull the trigger soon. Still holding out (for now) for something that really grabs me. Show me what you got. Your chance to own a stunning STR.
