heres the last sale thread:
http://www.talkbass.com/threads/33-scale-ristola-6-string.1034887/
I got this instrument from andy dow (emjazz) who commissioned it from Ristola. new this bass would cost well over $3000.
the body and top are cherry, the neck is maple with purpleheart. matching cherry headstock. Andy did a lot of experimenting with pickups and he ended up keeping the Bartolinis in there- i normally dont like Barts, but in this particular bass they really seem to work.
it is exactly as it was when i got it from andy, currently strung with SIT stainless strings, and with a full setup by myself. i like the action very low and i leave a hint of buzzing, but just enough that it doesn't come through the amp.
i hope he doesn't mind, but heres a video of andy playing this instrument- bass solo starts 1 min in.
i got a great deal on it, and i am passing that along - $1750 shipped. i'll ship it in a very basic gigbag, and it will be very well protected and packed for shipping.
feel free to ask any questions- i think the video and pictures say an awful lot though.
****i am not interested in trades at this time! i need the cash. would only consider a trade if the majority of the deal was cash- so something worth $250 or less + cash, maybe- but even then theres pretty much nothing i actually need.
