I need to sell a 2016 Mensinger Cazpar 5-string short-scale (30") bass in excellent condition. The instrument features a mahogany body, very fine high-gloss eye poplar top, one-piece bolt-on maple neck, and 22-fret maple fretboard with a zero fret and abalone dot inlays. Electronics consist of Domanski J and MM pickups, with eye poplar covers, and a 2-band EQ with an active/passive push/pull pot.
The only flaws or blemishes in the instrument are some slight playing wear on the back of the body, a small dent in the finish at one corner of the top of the headstock, and some faint scratches at one edge of the control cavity cover, all of which I have photographed below.
The bass is currently strung with a brand new set of DR Sunbeam SNMR5-45 (.045-.065-.085-.105-.125) nickel-plated steel round-core roundwound strings. And, although they're used, I'll be happy to include also the Dunlop Super Bright DBSBS45125S (.045-.065-.085-.105-.125) stainless steel roundwound strings that I installed when I bought the bass. It comes with the original stock Maruszczyk gig bag. An equivalent new build today would cost approximately €2,030 ($2,225).
Specifications:
My asking price is $800 shipped (so CONUS only), but any and all reasonable offers will be considered, as the instrument must be sold. The payment method is negotiable, although I'd much prefer alternatives to PayPal/Venmo (e.g., Zelle, check, bag o' cash, etc.). All requests for additional information and/or photos are very welcome.
