She's a great bass, but I'm sad to admit she's not doing it for me.
She's probably as high-end as Korean instruments come; 1495$ MRSP. Not exactly a very common bass, so here's the lowdown...
- Korean made. I don't know when it was made, but my guess would be early 2000's.
- Active electronics with 3 band EQ, plus slap switch
- Maple/padouk/maple construction
- Nicely figured quilted maple; the matching headstock looks stunning (I just loooove the shape of that headstock).
- Soapbar pickups
- Contoured body; extremely confortable.
- Output jack is located at the back. Might seem weird at first, but it makes a lot of sense; the cable is never in the way.
Now, of course she can't be perfect, so in the interest of full disclosure:
- She's crazy thirsty. I'd recommand keeping the battery out if you're not playing her for more than a day. The battery cover makes this easy, but else you'll be replacing the 9V a lot!
- She's in very good condition, but certainly not mint. She's good looking for sure, she's been played, but she has no major dent or scratch that went through the finish. The knobs have some pitting. Might be able to solve that with Brasso or something along those lines. As I'm not an expert, I'd rather leave that to an eventual owner rather than risk any kind of damage.
Had her repaired and cleaned up about 6 months ago, when I got her. They fixed the truss rod that was maxed out and cleaned the pots.
I've got a generic hard case with it; not the original (not certain there even is an original hard-case).
Essentially, I'm selling her because she's too modern sounding for me. I'm looking for a trade for something else entirely; a passive with more of a vintage tone. Maybe a Fender Japan RI, or a good lawsuit P-Clone. Might be interested in selling as well, but I don't really know how much to price her. Make me an offer. Would trade to someone in Canada or US.
