I am sad to part with this amazing bass, but I have a 6 string MK Elfin build that is just about ready to ship, and I could use the funds to make the final payment. I will consider partial trades for nice lightweight amps or cabs or combos, a Strymon Timeline pedal, or shorter scale Basses plus cash or a 34” scale bass that can easily be resold. Not interested in a straight trade.

specs: 32” Scale, 24 frets, 17.5mm spacing, E to C, 5 strings. Incredible solid Wenge neck (up charge) with Wenge board, matching headstock cap, Spalted maple top (up charge), black veneer, lightweight ash body, Seymour Duncan MusicMan style pickup with Wenge pickup cover (up charge), Seymour Duncan 3 band preamp, Protec gig bag. Can ship with black nylon strings or nickel wounds. Might be able to do video this weekend.

@fishdreams how are you liking the semi hollow? My 6 is going to be a fretted semi hollow.

I have 2 now, a fretted and a fretless. They sound great, the fretless is a miracle, you can put any strings on it and it shines no matter what. I love them both. They are very different, the fretless more 'wooden' as to be expected. The fretted has new pickups and sounds equally good for my purposes. Btw, I was at Martin 6 weeks ago and my guess is one of those in the middle is gonna be yours (the other one is for @emjazz )View attachment 4190912

Neck not wenge . Yes i believe on the other 2 questions . I actually posted a picture of 17 basses laid out on my floor in one of my bass groups and Martin who is also in the group recognized it . He said he remembers that one 6.5 pounds but sounds like a bulldozer . 20210226_205641.jpg 20210306_175203.jpg

Partial trades considered as long as there is a good amount of cash coming my way. A great opportunity to try out an amazing bass.

@phillipkregg I just finished stringing it B to G and I am pleasantly surprised by the B string. This bass bass is super solid all the way around!

These are incredible instruments. I have a 33" scale Elfin 5 and the neck is so ridiculously comfortable, not to mention the rest of the bass being so light and well balanced.

Somebody needs to grab this thing!
You won't regret it!
