Here is a very cool instrument and a wonderful piece of modern electric bass history, from the early 2000's I believe. Jack Read was very well known for his excellent custom-built instruments, as well as his awesome rack tube preamps of the day. These are incredibly rare these days and don't pop up often, and this one is in remarkably good shape, considering its age.
Plays great with plenty of fret life. Low action and straight neck. Neck profile is smooth and fast. Strung with flats.
Comes with original form, fitted "ultralight" hard case. $850 shipped
