Got this recently in trade. MINT condition. Really really cool bass, but I'm cutting down. Like, everything (except for that one custom bass) must go.
It's an ash-maple bass with jazz pickups, so that's the general character. Aguilar OBP-3 is known to work really well with single coils & this bass is no exception. Very good playability.
If you like jazz tones and sixes, or would like to try sixes, this is a good bass. Easier to play than most sixes and the tones make it easy to have a working tone across the strings unlike with more finicky basses.
body: swamp ash
top: burl maple (front and back)
neck: maple
fingerboard: pao ferro
pickups: Haeussel Bigmags
controls: blend, vol (pull passive), bass, mid (pull shift), high
preamp: Aguilar obp-3
tuners: Hipshot ultralites
bridge: De Gier by ETS
weight: 4.2 kg
string spacing at bridge 18mm
scale 34
24 medium frets
It's the bass on the left in this picture:
That's a fairly red photo, though. The bass is much more neutral-coloured in person.
And here's youtube vids of this bass:
Comes with a generic flight case.
Trade options: MTD 635, Pedulla MVP 6
