I got this bass a few months ago, I can honestly say it is wonderful but I don't really need it, and I have my eyes on something else now, so it has to go. Bass is in great shape, no cracks or dings, near-mint. I put a set of LaBella low-tension flats on it that will come with the bass, and it is positively thumpin' with those. No case, but will be well-boxed inside a gig bag (I have 2 for this kind of body shape, I'll see which one works the best for boxing.) Sale price $575 Shipped CONUS paypal.
The only trade I look for is a open-sounding passive jazz bass (cash can be added on my part), more interested in players (dings and dents etc are fine with me) than dent-free instruments.
