Just got this, cleaned it up and got it ready for sale. It’s not a thing I need, though it plays and sounds great! American made quality, just a beast. Plus it weighs under 8 pounds, how many five string basses are you gonna find that are that light?

it has its fair share of bumps and bruises, see the photos for details. One lacquer check that I tried to show in the photo. But it is a smooth playing huge sounding instrument!

Has the original papers, a hardshell case, and a strap with strap locks.

as far as trades, I’m pretty open. Looking for things like Lakland , always interested in fender, maybe a hollow body, could use a really good pedal preamp DI, I don’t know....try me !!! May be willing to add some cash for the right trade....

Heyyy,I own the six string variant. Love this thing. Is the push pull volume for coil splitting and the switch for active/passive? (new fancy bass compared to the boring stuff I used to own)

I will have to try the volume, I have an actually even checked it to see if it push pulls

Did you already clean the hardware? Do you think the patina/pitting/rust permanent will come out (if that is rust, might just be pitting)? Could you guess the string spacing at bridge and nut width?



Thanks

I have just wiped it down, I have not tried to actually clean it. Gold tends to get crusty a little bit anyway. I will try and get you those measurements, I think it is 17 mm and 1 3/4”
