Very cool bass, but in purge mode...
Not much I know of the builder, maybe TB'ers can chime in...guy I bought it from said Forrester was a builder that worked with Mike Tobias (I have no clue if this is true)
That being said this is a very well made bass...neck through and solid chuck of flame maple (not just the top)
Color is hard to tell in pics - almost a greyish brown tint to it...natural satin finish feels great.
Not sure what the P/U's are but they sound excellent, bass is passive (V-V-V-T).
Jazz bass neck profile, plays and sounds great (set up with Flats)...can get a very jazzy tone or more funky modern tone using the bridge P/U
Based on sale tag from the guy I bought it from it sold used for $1,200 (again - make what you will of that, hard to tell with unknown builders)
9 out of 10 condition easily, nothing to note as far as dings and scratches
Comes with gig bag
Looking to get $500 shipped via PayPal...hard to go wrong on this one for that kind of $$
It really is a cool looking and great playing and sounding bass
I have been doing this for long enough to know an unknown builder is what it is and even if it looks, feels, and sounds like a $2K bass will never fetch that, but this is a great instrument
