Some of you may have seen my recent thread about making this difficult decision; many good points were made on either side, but ultimately I'm not playing it out at all and there's enough overlap of purpose with my upright that I think it's time to let this beautiful TB-10 move on to another home.

The details:

• Beautiful! Gorgeous! Other superlatives!
• Excellent condition with some playing wear where the fingerboard meets the body (only visible in the right light)
• 34" scale fretless with aftermarket fret markers (single per fret and double at the 3/5/7/etc)
• CoolTube preamp that houses an actual 12A*-style tube with 3-band EQ, sweepable mids, notch control, AUX input for second pickup, built-in tuner
• Removable endpin for playing from a standing position or vertically while seated (cello)
• Fantastic, heavy-duty hardshell case with original candy

To avoid burying the lede any deeper: I'm starting this thread as a local deal in the Washington/South-BC/north-OR area. I'm willing to drive up to a couple hours for the right deal, but I can't imagine shipping this behemoth and am hoping to avoid it for now.

Also, my asking price of $2700 (PayPal G&S of course) is exactly what I got it for and it's firm. I may entertain trade offers later, but I'll start For Sale only (that time has come, see below). PM if you have any questions, but if that question is "Are you willing to ship?", I apologize in advance for a terse response.

It's a beautiful day here in western WA, so I got some pretty nice shots. Enjoy!
