Details

Incredible instrument handmade in Brooklyn by legendary NYC luthier L.Ellis Hahn. She was Sadowsky's master luthier for years before starting her own company and this was the twelfth bass she made at her shop in Brooklyn before moving to Portland.
Absolutely incredible feel and super lightweight at about 8.5 lbs.
Ash Body
Maple Neck
Birdseye Maple Board
Nordstand P/Big Rig pickups with Nordy preamp equipped with her very cool slider EQ

18mm bridge spacing
It has everything from super smooth vintage tones to a growly bark that cuts through the mix.
Never gigged or left my house since I bought it.
I'm only selling because I'm pretty exclusively a 6 string player and this instrument deserves to be on stage and more playing time than I give it.

These are some of the very best basses being made today. One of the top necks I've ever played in my life. I'm also primarily a 6 string player, but a friend has had a couple of these, and they are off the charts. I can't say enough about these. Ellis is the best.

Also, to correct something about the bass, that's a BigRig in the bridge, not a Fat Stack.

Wow! I have never heard of LEH basses before. That is a really cool take on a Jaguar. Are the knobs VVT, and the sliders for the active pre?

Volume, blend, tone and active 3 band EQ. The pickups are pretty unique, she rewired the BigRig to work in series not parallel so it has its own sound. Really modern bass with vintage spirit, fast like a Sadowsky but much more comfortable.
