Details

note: Price does not include shipping or fees.

Action is low with no buzzing. No issues electronically or anywhere else. I recently switched the strings out to .040-.125. Truss rod was adjusted and works fine.

When I bought it, it weighed 10lb but I installed Gotoh GB350 ultralight tuners and that knocked a 1/2lb off the bass. Full disclosure, the GB350 tuners are a slightly smaller footprint than the originals and on the G string there is a slight area where the black finish doesn't quite cover all that it needs to whereas the original tuner covered that area. See the closeup of the back of the headstock for details. Should be an easy fix with a marker if it bothers you.

I have spent some time with a fodera singlecut and can honestly say that tonally and playing-wise, this bass hangs with the fodera really well. Here are the specs:

Body
Shape: Omega
Back: Brazilian Premium Cedar
Top: Qulited Maple

Neck
Wood: Hard Maple / Maple/Brazilian Ipê/Maple
Fingerboard : Brazilian Rosewood
Inlay: MOP Blocks
Frets: Alpaca Jumbo
34" scale
19mm string spacing at bridge

Electronics
Pickups: D’Mark PRO IGA Noiseless
Preamp: D’Mark Custom Shop 3-band with blend control
Miscellaneous
Weight - originally 10lbs, 9.5lb with the ultralight tuners.
Upgraded with GB350 tuners
Upgraded with ramp. The ramp is made out of black resin
Action is low with no buzzing. Approximately 1.5mm (at the 12th) on the G string and 2mm on the B string

Includes Gig bag.

Fair enough, if you change your mind let me know. These do have a pretty interesting sound set, frequency change switches and all. Everybody calls them a poor man’s Alembic but if the right guy in the 1980s was playing one of these people would be fighting over them today.
i bought one back in the '90s. It was a great bass...

I've been seeing these DMark basses for awhile now (here and Reverb mostly), and if they play/sound as good as they look, holy crap...I can in no way justify a boutique bass right now (or maybe ever), but if I could, this would be one of the first brands I'd be looking at...:cool: :thumbsup:

I saw you are also selling a JCR. How do you compare DMark with JCR? I’ve been curious about these two brands.

Each time I play one, i decide *THAT* is the one I'm keeping. I finally decided to put them both up and keep the one that doesn't sell. The jcr has a slightly thinner and more narrow neck and is a little faster for soloing. The Dmark is a little better for slapping. The JCR has a bit more middy character to the notes which sound good in the rhythm section whereas the dmark has a more neutral almost guitaristic voice for soloing. Both have great upper fret access. The dmark pickups are hum cancelling jazz pickups under the hood whereas the nordstrand big rig are soapbars so the dmark has a little bit of fender jazz quality to the tone, slightly lower output.
