I bought this bass last year to play while my new Ristola 6 was being built. That bass is just about done so it's time to let this one go. It started it's life as a pretty sad SR506 and is now a heavily modified machine. All of the hardware is new as well as the pickups and electronics. The bass also got a full setup, including a reseating and cleaning of the frets as well as a fret leveling and it was fully shielded. Here's the rundown of the specs:
34" scale
16.5mm spacing at the bridge
2 1/16" nut width
maple neck
rosewood fingerboard
I don't know the body wood...
Bartolini CB dual coils (EMG shape)
Aguilar OBP-3 preamp
Hipshot ultralight tuners
Hipshot A Bridge
Dunlop inlaid straplocks
bacote ramp between the pickups...this is held on with double sided tape so it's easily removable if you so choose
full shielding in the control cavity
Ok, now all of the imperfections for full disclosure. They were all there when I got the bass. None of these effect the playability in any way but here you go. There's a missing screw for the control cavity cover. I don't have one that will fit but that's an easy fix for someone. There isn't a truss rod cover. There's an area slightly larger than a quarter on the top of the body where the green/blue coloring is faded. There's a thin crack that looks like it was created by someone tightening the B string tuner screw too tight at the back of the headstock. It's been professionally fixed/filled with heavy duty glue. It shouldn't ever pose a problem. There was a small spot of the fingerboard where it looks like someone dropped the bass onto something and nicked it. It's at the 11th fret on the edge of the treble side. That was filled with what looks like glue as well....I actually had forgotten about it since it was fixed. It's not something that you'd ever notice while playing the bass and it's something that you have to look for now.
So basically this bass has gotten a complete face lift. This is an amazing bass for someone that wants a great sounding/playing 6 string without spending a lot of dough.
The bass does not have a case. It was shipped to me double boxed which is exactly what I will do as well.
The price is $1000 shipped or best offer. No trades and no sales outside of the US please. If someone locally would like the bass than I'd be happy to sell it for a little less. Thanks.
.....please note that in the pictures there are only three knobs....I don't use the treble stack from the preamp so I had taken it out. It's back in now but I have yet to be able to take a newer photo.
