I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO MOVE THIS ONE OUT SO IF YOU HAVE BEEN CONSIDERING IT, MAKE ME A REASONABLE OFFER AND YOU MIGHT JUST WALK AWAY WITH IT. I'M NOT DESPERATE, BUT I DO NEED TO FIND IT A NEW HOME.
Xotic XB-2 5 string bass. Mint condition. These are pretty rare, especially in this condition.
Body is ash, with a flame Maple cap.
3 piece Maple neck with a quarter-sawn center and flat-sawn wings, maximizing stability and tone transmission.
24 Frets, thick, solid slab of ebony fretboard, beautifully radiused, and the fretwork is exquisite.
Circular aluminum dot markers, and Aluminlay side markers
It’s a 34" scale neck and weighs 9 lbs 7.6 ounces on my digital scale.
Neck is joined to body by 5 bolts, with a very deep channel for the neck fitting into the body.
1.87" at the nut, 19mm spacing at the bridge.
Electronics are Kent Armstrong soapbar pickups and the original Xotic 3-band preamp, with some parameters variable by dipswitches accessible through the backplate.
You get active treble/middle/bass, and volume/passive tone/pickup blend. Two toggles, I've seen these pickups described as single/double coil, or as parallel/series.
Tone is massive in either passive or active mode and the preamp makes any tone possible.
Will ship in a nice Mono brand gig bag.
Shipping included in the CONUS if sold at my listed price.
Please open a private message with me if you have any questions or offers. Thanks for looking
