Here’s a chance to own an incredibly crafted 4 string custom bass built by master-luthier Andrew Drake out of Iowa. I’ve owned a few Drake basses at this point, and I’m always blown away with the playability, tone, and overall quality of his basses. The Nordstrand Pickups and Audere Preamp on this one sound amazing coupled with the Wenge Neck and Myrtle body. The 33” scale and thin neck make it a breeze to play.

This one is in really nice plying shape with a straight neck and low action (I play with a soft touch). There are various wear marks in the clear coat were buttons have made minor scratches. Also, one of the pot shafts took a bump somewhere along the line and is bent slightly. I can barely tell, so I never fixed the issue. Overall the bass is very good condition.

Asking $1750 Shipped - Con US Only... Open to offers

Trade wise - I’d mostly be interested in cheaper 4 string basses w/$$$ coming back in my direction, but I’m open to any offers. I might be interested in adding $ for the right bass. (Bonus points for a G&L Matador, Custom Shop L-2000, or Jazz Style basses)

Trade Value = $1750

Local Deals Strongly Preferred

Please let me know if you have any questions

POST UPDATE:

I just sat down and played this one for about two hours, and I'm strongly reconsidering letting it go. It's such an incredible bass! I'm going to leave the post up for another couple of weeks, but If it hasn't been sold/traded by then I'm going to hang onto it.


Last Day on Talkbass will be July 23rd.. MAKE ME AN OFFER!
