Details

I picked up this Marco Cortes bass here a few years back. I don't know what woods were used, nor the brand of the preamp.

Here is what I do know:

34.5 inch scale
8.326 pounds
Zero fret
Hipshot tuners
Bartolini pickups
21/32 of an inch measured string center to string center at the bridge
Volume, blend, mids (two frequencies - push/pull) and stacked bass/treble.

I'm not sure of the fret board, but I would guess wenge by the look of it.

It's a little dinged up alomg the edges of the body and has a bit of buckle rash. But we call that "mojo", yes?

Not sure what these strap holders are called, but it's the recessed kind you have to put the nib into. Will ship in a generic hsc. Price includes shipping.

Maybe @SpaceCadetVibe can shed some light on this?
I am going to ask Marco . He usually uses GlockenKlang pre-amps in his older models. I know it is spalted maple on the headstock. Possibly a Maple top and Cedar body, but that is just guessing. I will ask him and get back!

Any interest in a PRISTENE brand new untouched unplayed with hang tags and case candy Fender MIA 1959 Precision Bass Reissue, sunburst with gold PG. I think it's 2011 or 2012. They only made this RI for 2 yrs and discontinued it. It still has all the plastic on the bass and case. I bought it played it in my living room for a couple of hours and put it back in the case and into the closet. It was supposed to replace an old P I had to sell to save my house from forclosure. I finally realized I'd never replace the one I sold.

Re. the spacing, you can get a better idea by measuring center of B to center of G just in front of the saddles and dividing by 4. I bet Marco could give an exact measurement, though.
