As for trades, brands of high interest:
Alleva Coppolo, Carl Thompson, Vintage Fenders, Fodera, and Wal.
I may consider other unique basses and/or some other brands.
I'm interested mainly in 4 strings lately, but may not be opposed to 5 strings in either fretted or fretless. Send me pictures and specs of what you have if you can via Private Conversation / DM / PM.

Enjoy the pictures and videos!
NOTE: I have to rescind my comment with regards to the tapercore strings only being used for this model of bass. It appears you can use full on rounds, maybe even flats or nylon coated, which could prove to be very interesting on this bass. Hmmm, got me thinking now! LOL!

I'm not sure why, but I greatly prefer the 34" ergonomics to the 34.5" -- you wouldn't think that it would make much of a difference, but it does. :drool:
