2017 Drake Model 10 "Cricket" Hollow Body
SOLD!
Andrew Drake built this bass, according to my specifications, in 2017. It is an exceptional player and balances well playing sitting or standing with a strap. I gigged it sparingly between 2017 and late 2019. It resides in my year round, climate controlled music room, located in my home. I am very particular about my instruments and care for them well. This bass has no marks, bumps, or defects of any kind. It remains in "as new" condition. This is the only carved top hollow bodied Drake Model 10.
Andrew performed his warranty recertification process on this bass in May of this year. He thoroughly inspected the bass, cleaned it, gave it a new coat of hard wax, performed an electronics check, and did a complete set up. He will extend his warranty to the buyer of this bass.
Here are the specifications:
Neck

No trades, please. I am reducing my instrument collection due to my advancing age and family health concerns.
Photos were taken in Andrew Drake's studio, following recertification, in May, 2025.
