Details

Looking to sell a frankenbass I designed and had built about fifteen years ago. It was inspired by Carl Thompsons, alembics and ritters. I do not remember the Luther's name.

Bass lines soapbar pickups, kahler trem, sperzal locking tuners, Aguilar obp-3 running at 18v, maple carvin neck w/ rosewood board, alder wings with a beautiful, thick spalted maple top. It will need a set up. Comes in between 8-9lbs (my scale is awful). A trussrod wrench, a case, and the arm for the trem are included.

I think that this price represents the cost of the materials and components, but I can be flexible with it. I hate that this bass never did it for me, but hopefully it can make someone else happy.

Would be open to trades. 80's G&L's or serek's (i'll throw in cash to make up the difference), short scales or fretless basses are welcome too!

Pretty sure that's a "Bonne Maman" Jar, which will turn into a wonderful wine glass, once the jam is gone.

Aha, you jumped in while I was typing, got to learn to type faster, I guess

Questions.....
What is the string spacing, and nut width?
What are the switches for? Does it have a passive mode? Is it 34” scale? Thank you!!

The string spacing at the bridge can be adjusted between 12.4 and 19.8, it's set up pretty nicely for the neck, but there is wiggle room in there. As far as the nut it's a standard carvin jazz neck, so 1.75 at the nut, I can't find a decent ruler to get the precise spacing though
