Details

I received this bass last year from Mike Tobias and, as I have just bought myself a Saratoga, this lovely 535 is now for sale. Not a scratch on it that I can see and it has only been played by me, gently, under controlled circumstances :) (it has never been gigged). I absolutely baby all of my basses and this one is no exception!

- 21 frets
- Makore body
- Spalted mango top
- Maple neck
- Honduran rosewood fretboard
- Matching wood knobs
- World logo

Not sure of the weight on this one. It's definitely under 10 lbs (I'm guessing around 9.5). I will gladly have it weighed at the post office if it's an issue for anyone. Comes with latest MTD hardcase (which I picked up from Mike T. yesterday).

Edit: I weighed the bass at the post office and it is 9.6 lbs.

$2999 U.S. shipped to U.S.A. or Canada. Paypal is fine. No trades please.

I've listed this bass as being in Vermont but it's actually in Montreal, Canada. I can ship from either Montreal or Vermont - depending on the buyer's location.

Thanks Bob - I was never a fan of mango before but this bass changed my mind. :)

Thursday night bump! You won't find a more "mint" 535 in the classifieds. This bass might as well be new.

When autumn rolls around and there's a chill in the air there's nothing like a bit of mango - not to mention makore - to bring some tropical warmth into your home. :D

These basses are simply unreal. The rosewood really warms up the modern style tone and really gives these basses versatility. I've had some unbelievably good 5 strings and haven't, and won't, ever part with mine. Sold a Lakland 55-94, and Elrick Evo and an F bass studio 5. They were all incredible but this was the best for me.....
