STR 5-String SC-5 Bass in MINT condition in original STR case
(basically a repost from the thread I bought it from )

Truly an amazing bass, I have recently been battling health issues and never actually even played this bass so it is 100% as was, mint conditon properly stored indoors non-smoking etc. With the factory original electronics incl twin switches, the tonal possibilities are endless.

These are rightfully known as the "Japanese Fodera", I had an STR 649 before and once again this one reminds me of their unparalleled quality!
Definitely as well made and beautiful sounding as any bass 3-4x the price.

Kmrumedy - yes it is and thank you.
Very sad about selling my basses, but my recent health issues are not going away anytime soon, so these deserve to be enjoyed by someone who appreciates them. These STR's are incredible and especially for the price

Thank you so much. Treatments have rendered my left hand and both feet pretty much numb. It’s possible it’ll go away with time, but might not. Still hopeful!

Consider massage therapy and acupuncture weekly as it could help with what sounds like neuropathy. I’ve had similar symptoms, and with time and effort, mostly all gone. Consider B vitamin supplementation, and consult a progressive thinking chiropractor. I am not a doctor, and these are just opinions. Haha! Of course try to listen to your favorite music. Hope someone grabs this fantastic bass soon!
Cheers.

Sorry about your health challenges......I am a true believer in Holistic medicine, seek a Medical Doctor (MD) that offers holistic treatments and I would even consider a nutritionist as a lot of our medicine (or ailments) come from the food we eat. Hang in there

Left hand goes numb. Sucks cause that is the hand that gives me trouble with 5 strings and larger necks.
Thanks !

I had the same problem. My chiropractor fixed it by hitting trigger points in my rotator cuff. He saved me from having to stop playing doublebass!
For real, a great chiropractor is worth their weight in chicken eggs!
