**This was a special order, everything on this list was built and installed by FBass, and delivered as shown. This is probably the best sounding 5 string fretted I've ever played through an amp and DI'd. But I asked for it with a Black Ebony board (The person at FBass told me they had 'Dark Indian Rosewood' and it would be better for the Fender sound, and would look the same as Ebony...He really didn't give me a choice to be honest). Also I asked for a Black Burst, and sent a picture of another bass I had for reference, to which the person at FBass said Charcoal was the correct order. I was really upset when it came in Brown with a Brown board, especially as this bass is very expensive, but it sounded just as good, if not better than the one at the Aguilar booth at NAMM that year, so I took it. (This is not Bass Central's fault what so ever, those guys are amazing so ALWAYS check them out!),


**I'm selling it as I just don't play it, I still only play fretless and my MTD535 and my American Fender Jazz V with and unlined Ebony board get all the love. This Bass has less than 30 hours of playing time on it, never gig'd with it only brought it out of the house once, as an alternate to practice with Roddy. It's in perfect condition. For some reason there is no demand which is why the price is so low.

**You can see by the bridge in the production run picture that this is in fact the bass there.

Remember, me playing it is not going to sound like you playing it. I always found it odd that people asked to hear it first, but with someone else playing it.
If asked about the sound I would reply "It's like the best sounding Fender ever".

I hope this beautiful instrument finds an owner that will play it and appreciate it. PM me with questions.
Cheers,
Scott Patrick

I am willing to take it to the ups store, as long as the buyer pays ups directly to package and ship. Insurance i would suggest a minimum of $3800. For international, same thing but make sure you have a clearing house setup to receive for you.

Do you have any sound clips?
I used it on this, one of the few I played fretted, last minute thing, needed something fretted, to tune to Drop B, add Overdrive and not over play. This is a TH DI and Aggro pedal into a ISA, fingerstyle with this bass, 1.30tw Fender strings set, and was done in an evening after work on 2 hours notice as they needed the bass tracks someone else recorded for them, replaced asap before mix 2 days later, didn't have a chance to even hear the tunes before hand.


I can send you the bass/drums only as a single mp3 if you wish, just pm me and I'll send it. Again this sounds like a thick Fender that you can use the Jazz, the P, active or passive and me playing it through my rig isn't going to sound like you playing that through yours. By your collection and experience I'm sure you understand that just by you taking the same bass and amp into a different room may sounds radically different.

No Takers? Really, such a beautiful bass and especially the price! (which I still don't understand!). If only I it was the color I asked for :/
FYI I'll be in the Austin Texas area next Saturday night and for the MotoGP race on Sunday. I have no issue carrying it on, and having someone meet up. PM for more info

A friend once shipped a used Fbass to me to hand carry to South America.

I thought it was one of the most playable basses I had ever tried. Felt and played real nice.

GLWTS!

For those that want to hear someone else play this - here's a vid from a couple weeks ago at my place.
So here is my buddy and killer guitarist/bassist/songwriter "Landphil" from Municipal Waste/Iron Reagan slapping on this bass.
Setup for the vid is pickups are blended equal, volume up all the way, cabled directly to a TH500 (AGS @ 0, Vol@2, everything else @5/noon/flat), DB112 Cabs, The preamp is actually passed at this point so what you are hearing isn't even with the 18v electronics engaged.
