For sale Maruszczyk Sputnik 5 Spalted Maple Top - SoCal

For sale only is a beautiful Maruszczyk Sputnik 5P. This bass gets amazing comments every time someone sees it. Here is the info from the guy I traded for it:

Bass was originally Passive, I bought a John East J Retro 01 Preamp and now it is a beast.



This bass is outstanding and it has been played so it has a few very small dents, etc. to show for it. Nothing that affects playability. I have tried to display any flaws in the pics. My price is $3100 NOW $3000 OBO including insured shipping (CONUS) and PP G&S fees. Discount for an in-person deal in Southern CA. Not open to trades. Let me know if you have any questions or would like other images. Must thin the herd!

Javier is a great guy who I have done business with a number of times.

Thanks for looking,
