LTD B1005SE in excellent condition and packing pro features (see specs below) without the hefty pro pricetag. Original owner.
This is a true 37" multi scale spec'd after Dingwall's Afterburner series.
It's still sporting the original strings but I will also throw in a set of D'Addario NYXL Super Longs.
I had the Ibanez SRFF805 before I got this one and there's no comparison. I was thinking about swapping out the preamp, but I haven't gotten around to it.
It's a beast as is and while I haven't played a Dingwall, a buddy of mine who's owned a couple of them said with a preamp upgrade, this would be on par with a Canadian made Dingwall, but at a fraction of the price.
I'd be interested in trading and throwing in additional cash for a Stingray Special (H or HH), Sadowsky Metro 5, Yamaha BBNE2, Yamaha BBP35, German Warwick, Devon, or a Lakland (US or Skyline) and possibly other 5 string basses...let me know what you've got.
Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking.
