Beautiful bass, original owner, great condition.

- Weight is 9.2 lbs (kitchen scale)
- Walnut body, satin matte finish
- Walnut neck with purple heart stripe, tung oil finish
- Royal ebony fretboard
- 14" fretboard radius
- Fret dots on top only
- Dunlop strap locks
- Kiesel Ultimate Headless Bass soft case included (but not pictured), also in excellent condition
- 16mm string spacing at bridge

What I love: I love the shape, feel and finish of the neck. I think the dark wood is beautiful. Lots of tone options with the active EQ. Tuning stability is excellent.

Why I'm selling: I purchased this six-string to gain experience with chording, and it's great for that. But, I find myself using the high-C infrequently, and even after a couple of years I don't feel as comfortable navigating the fretboard as I do on a four or five string. Also, I'm spending 90% of my playing time on upright bass these days.

Instrument condition is excellent, 9/10. There are a few scratches and imperfections, but these are for the most part so small that they are hard to see in the photos. You can however see one finish imperfection in the photos, on the front of the instrument near the lower cutaway (looks like a white dot in the photos). Always handled with care, kept in a humidified house.

Shipping within the continental US included. I will ship the bass in the same cardboard box that I received the instrument from Kiesel in. Paypal/Venmo/cash (if local).

Not really interested in trades, but I might be open to discussion if you have a 4-string EUB that you're looking to part with.

Anyone local to the Denver area is welcome to come see the instrument in person. (No pressure!)

can you confirm if that bridge pickup is in 60s or 70's jazz bass measurements?

I seem to recall it being 70's.

looks like a great bass!

First, I apologize for missing these questions for so long. I had not been checking TB very often, and I've updated my settings so that going forward I'll get an email when they come in.

Bridge pick position: it seems to be about 57 mm, measured from the end of the vibrating part of the string to the middle of the bridge pickup, and about 86 mm between pickups (center-to-center). I'm not sure whether that equates to 60s / 70s J-bass spacing.

The tuning bridge is not branded, but I believe Kiesel uses the Hipshot bridge widely in their basses and guitars. In any case, tuning stability is excellent.

Shipping to Canada: maybe. If you're seriously interested, shoot me a DM and I can look into shipping specifics.

Nut width is 2".

Scale length is 34".
