Prat 6 string. For trade towards a 5 stringer.
I got this beautiful bass a few months back with every intent of making the adjustment needed towards a six string player. I was always intrigued with the fact of covering more ground in fewer positions, and this was the perfect bass for that when considering feel, tonal options, appearance and stability of wood combination.
Unfortunatly, not long after getting this I realized that a fretless would be best for my current band setting. Picked up a fretless 5 and soon came to the conclusion that a present I’d have to commit my time to one or the other. The Prat lost. Had to focus on my fretless playing, and uncertain when I might be able to get back to adjusting to 6 again (was actually building muscle memory too).
I can’t just let this instrument sit, so up for trade it goes.
I have a few other 5s, so I’ll be somewhat more specific as to what I’m interested in.

Ocsar Prat is being referred to as one of the up and coming luthier’s. I haven’t found a negative thing one about him, and his customer service is impeccable.
