Padauk body, binding, cocobola fingerboard and birdseye neck. Everything is in very good condition (I no longer say "mint" after reading the threads here ;-)--I think the few previous owners of this particular bass can vouch for the condition (definitely 34" scale, clear B-string, straight neck, no belt/thumb/pick rash, good intonation and action. Weighed in at just under 7lbs on my postal scale and balances very, very well.
$1800 Paypal will include free shipping insured via USPS Priority mail anywhere in the U.S. (discount for local Oahu pickup). Will include a brand new Protec Contego hard gig bag never used (too big for a Mouse).
