Had this one for a few years, just thinning the heard a bit.
its currently strung with D'addario tapewounds
About 7.5lbs on the bathroom scale
Good shape. Gold top looks amazing.
Some player wear scratches are visible on the back. Nothing crazy, but it's been played.
here is a clip of me sound checking the bass with GHS pressurewounds:


Now includes RB continental gig bag. rest assured it will be expertly packed and shipping from the most well known bass manufacturer in Chicago(my day job)

I also have this little sustain bar that attaches to the bridge, it adds mass and hopefully a bit of sustain and potentially a little counterbalance to any neck dive problems… the bar weighs 45 g so result may be negligible, but it does work well with round wound and flat wounds, I couldn't get the tapes to fit through the holes though
Also, upgraded to Gotoh 640s tuning machines, no neck dive problems at all for me after that.

...and finally, here is a link to an audio sample I just made with the bass wearing the tapewounds (a little finger style and then palm mute picked)

thanks for checking this cool bass out!

Added a few more photos. Bridge thimble cups look very stable. There is small scratch on the gold top that is visible in overhead artificial light that I couldn't see in natural daylight. I can try and buff it out a bit at work. Overall, I'd call this condition VG player grade.

Shipping. I’ll split the actual shipping price with you!

Had gone through 2 of these in the past absolutely loved them but had to return due to both of the bridge pegs coming out of the body. Have you had any similar issues with this one? Nice touch on replacing the chicken head of the Vari Tone switch!
BTW I always stumble upon your sound check clip when surfing the tube for the Casady ;-) great playing and tone.

Thanks for the kind words!
I haven’t given the bridge pegs a second thought, but now that you mention it….I’ll double check them when I get home, but I believe they’re sitting correctly with the flange of the cup at the surface of the top of the body.
