Details

This is a great bass that was made even better by some upgrades installed by Pete Skjold for a previous owner. The pickups were replaced by Nordstrand Dual Coils, and the preamp was replaced with an Audere 4-band with the standard Z-mode selector. In addition, each Dual Coil has a series/parallel/single coil selector switch, so in short, this bass has virtually infinite possible tones. The bass also has a Hipshot A-style bridge now, which gives you the option to adjust string spacing to your liking.

The bass has a mahogany body, burled maple top, and a rosewood fingerboard. It also has a pea-sized ding by the rear strap button (pic below) which obviously has absolutely no effect on anything.

I'm looking for $1050 shipped in the lower 48. Bass ships in a hardshell case. I'm just looking to clear room, so please, no trades (unless you've got one of the pedals listed on my GAS list in my profile).

EDIT: Now accepting trades for either Lakland 55-02 (probably with a little cash on your end) or a 55-94 (with cash on my end)! LH3 electronics is preferred but will consider Bartolini as well.

Pics!

Not interested in any other basses; only trades I'd consider would be for any of the pedals listed on my GAS list in my profile (obviously these would be partial trades).

Oooooo!! I recognize this bass! I was lucky enough to own it for a while a couple of years ago. It truly is badass, but I got rid of it when I consolidated to 34". In addition to the pickups and electronics upgrades, it also has a Hipshot "A" bridge (and maybe Ultralight tuners too, I can't remember). Awesome bass, crazy low action, lots of tonal options and a much better color than the MTD Pumpkinburst that's so common, IMHO... :)

Hey -- the Chocolate Chip* bass is back on the market! I owned this one for a time also -- very nice bass!


* The first time my wife saw this bass she said, "Wow -- it looks like a chocolate chip cookie!"

How come nobody's keeping this thing??
Well, *I* sold it because at the time we were buying a house and I needed to scrape together every penny for our down payment. I actually slimmed down to ONE bass during that stretch.

This is a really nice instrument -- especially for the price. It already has all the mods you want.

New Years price reduction!

Also, I'm now accepting trades for either a Lakland 55-02 or 55-94 (cash on either side as situation dictates). Stronger consideration given towards LH3 electronics over Bartolini.
