Details

Atlansia Pegasus 6-String Bass - $2400 shipped/Paypalled CONUS

--Ridiculously rare high end bass from Atlansia of Japan.
--Purchased from The Low End Bass Shop
--Perfect working order
--There is a chip at the upper horn from shipping from Low End - glued back in place and looks acceptable. The integrity of the end pin is fine, but there is another end pin on the back of the guitar that could be used as an alternative as well.
--Original flight case included - it has custom molded foam inside
--Controls: Volume, balance, 3-band EQ, 3-position switch for each string. You basically select one pickup position for each string making for many combinations. And the pickups sound great!

--12 lbs per my digital scale.

--18mm string spacing

--36" scale - no whining ;) I'm a guitar player and never gave the scale a second thought. The weight is the issue for me. Two back surgeries in 15 months; 3 shoulder surgeries in the last 5 years. Arthritis is taking a toll. That being said, it's no heavier than many Les Pauls. And it sustains very nicely, which I think the bridge has much to do with as well as the weight. Tres beefy!

--Truss rod - yes, there is one, and it works.

--Tuning - Yes, you tune from both ends. Fine tuners at the bridge.

Controls:
--Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble pots
--6 x 3-way toggles. There are 3 pickups for each string. You can select one pickup at a time per string with the mini switches.
--Yeah, it looks crazy, but it's stoopid simple. Lot's of tonal variation though.
--I think I might have mentioned a balance control to someone, but I lied - sorry guy...my bad. Obviously you couldn't possibly execute an effective balance control with this pickup array configuration.

Ok...been getting some questions/photo requests.

Don't overthink the fine tuners fellas. Look at a Floyd Rose or Kahler trem on a guitar and it's the same thing. Minus the trem. Very handy.

Found a ding on the tush - see pics.

Gold star to anyone who can tell me what the hell the little wood cylinder thingy is.

And evidently the pickups rotate from the front, not the back as I had previously reported. Makes sense with the knurled surround you can see for each pup.

Yeah, we could do trades now. I've already had a few offers; one tempting.

If you're offering a bass, then I don't want anything over 5 strings, 34" scale and 9-10 pounds. Lighter the better. It's an arthritis thing :(

I'm a guitarist really (one of these days I'll stop prefacing everything I post on TB that way), so guitar offers would be ok. I'm pretty well covered though.

My current want list is short:
--Gibson ES-335 (or similar)
--Fender Bassman 300t (possibly others that'll pull double duty bass/guitar. 100 watts or greater. Preferably greater).
