Details

This a a rather rare Vadim fretless 5 string Vadim only makes 10-15 basses a year. It an amazing example of custom bass building at it's finest. If you are not familiar with Vadim you can read more about him and his basses at this link: http://www.vadimbasses.com

Handmade in Canada

This one has a pair of magnetic soapbar pickups coupled with a piezo bridge pickup. The magnetic pickup controls are Master Volume, Blend, Bass and Treble. The piezo has a stacked Volume and Tone that can be blended in with the magnetic pickups for tremendous presence and complexity of tone!

The pickups and preamp is custom Vadim / illieh <Sp?

Back is lacewood. Top is curly maple. Back of neck is wenge, and curly maple. Not exactly sure on fret board possibly rosewood or something simular.

Very cool bass very playable. Thin (front to back) neck
17mm at bridge 34 in scale

Build quality as good as my usa mtd,spectors and smiths that I have owned

Not 100% about getting rid of it yet. Wanted to set some trade feelers out

Interested mostly in modern high end basses MTD/spector/elrick etc. I might be open to vintage p basses

Also interested in high end mics.

Would be open to bass plus cash deals on your end

CASH PRICE $2199.00 PayPal accepted

Feel Free to throw any reasonable offer my way the Worse I will say is no!

What's the trade value? So I can get a feel of the gear I've got vs bass value

not 100% sure since there are so few out there

There is a gloss one on ebay used for $3900.00 right now super clean

There was one that sold a year ago on here for $2400.00, and few more that I have seen from
$2200-$3500

this looks to be an earlier one because of the type of battery cover used

Looking for 5 or six string trades. Possibly a older p bass

I can do bass and cash on your you end if you have a less expensive bass

Run offers past me the worst I will say is no

I don't wait 30 minutes after eating, to go swimming.
How 'bout a beautiful, cocobolo Benavente Vector 5 string? It's the second from the left. Plays and sounds amazing but I loves me some fretless!! The picture definitely doesn't do it justice.
