Details

All I can say is that I can not believe I'm doing this and I am still a little on the fence about letting it go. This is such a great bass, but I just don't play it enough to justify keeping it. It absolutely sounds HUGE. This bass is in really good condition, but does have a very fine hairline split in the wood near the low B tuner. Should be a very easy fix with some water weight super glue (thanks Chef:)). I never attempted to fix it because I never really felt the need to. It does not go all the way through the wood and hasn't gotten any worse and has never caused and problems. I got bass with the split. The only pics I could get of the split were blurry and they make the split look worse that what it is. Other than that it has a few very minor dings and a scratch on the front. The bass sounds and plays great. Low action and a ginormous low B. The controls are vol, vol, tone, and a series, parallel, coil tap switch for each pickup. 35" scale. Comes with tuxedo case!!!!

Looking to get $1000. Buyer pays shipping. Paypal and money order accepted. Keeping it to the ConUS for now. As for trades, I am really looking for a Warwick SS1 5 string. Especially the one I used to have...cough...cough...Moduman...cough.:smug: Other than that, I am not really looking for anything else, but if you think you have a cool 5 or 6 string to trade, run it by me.

Here are the pics. I'm going to try and take some better ones tomorrow.:

Considering that you've got the case, that's a fantastic price.

I'll be curious to see who ends up with this. Potential buyers: you snooze, you lose. :p

Anyone heard from dumbdrum? AFAIK, he's still desperate to snag a Houser.

Thanks for remembering my desperation for a houser guys. Unfortunately I just dumped a bunch on a new road bike and am unable to snatch this one up :(

sonic note from another Houser user:
Those mini-switches are single coil/parallel/series for each pup.
Add that to the vol/vol/tone control layout, and you've got a veeeerrrrry wide range of kick-a** tones.

Well worth EBmatt's ticket for admission. If I didn't already have one, this-un'd be long gone.

Got 3 in line for buyout and one trade offer, so I guess it's on hold in one way or another. If you want to make an offer and get in line, send me a PM.
