Important note: This is a private sale of personally-owned electric bass equipment, and is not associated with my music store in any way (which specializes in upright bass gear).
I bought this bass several years ago because I dug its vaguely Rickenbacker-like vibe (without being an actual Ric) and it plays and sounds great. This bass probably has fewer than 10 hours on it, no dings/dents/scratches that would indicate that it's not brand spanking new. I've just recently acquired several high end basses from my father's estate (quite a few of which I absolutely need to keep) and therefore need to thin the herd, so this one goes to a new home.
This bass has a very comfortable neck - average sized, smooth and not "sticky" - and the action is very playable. It's got a pretty beefy sound, definitely leaning "Fender-y" due to its J-Bass pickup configuration, but the unique body design was the draw for me - it certainly has a less conventional "look" without being too over the top. It's a really great sounding and playing bass, you won't be unhappy!

"A perfect marriage of resonant body design and USA DMT J-Hot pickups. The Dean Motto Electric Bass Guitar has impressive looks and superior electronics. The dense alder body, with extra long top horn, produces a sound full of natural midrange punch, a feature that helps this bass cut through any mix. Add a super comfortable C-shaped neck and 2 USA DMT J-Hot pickups, and you have a great-playing and versatile-sounding bass capable of providing the foundation for a wide variety of musical styles."
